Open Tabs Cast

That caitvi kinktober mess happening at the exact same time payment processors are cracking down on content creation anew might've been a blessing in disguise because it should prompt one to examine what ideology they're really propping up

14: #Sitewide Crash #Science (Dry vs. Wet) #Stretchood is a Spectrum Show Notes Welcome to Open Tabs! On today's episode we discuss our favorite website's occasional boughts of down time. We all need it, but does AO3 go down sometimes? More specifically, why did it go down THIS time? Also the KPOP Demon Hunters episode because we weren't going to tell Princess she couldn't talk about it - what the hell else is a podcast for?

New Open Tabs! Hot fresh and ALMOST timely 👏

We talk about the final bookmark that took down AO3 and some new pop culture splashes like KPop Demon Hunters, Superman and the Fantastic 4 💪

13: #Alleged Adaptations #Audio Quality Improvements #Albania Appreciation Hour Show Notes Welcome to Open Tabs! On today's episode we discuss some of the movie adaptations of written works that were originally (maybe allegedly) adapted from fanfictions. The beautiful Balkan nation of Albania features heavily. There's a reasonable segue we promise. Also Sydney finally has a mic that doesn't predate the fall of Rome!

12: #Bigotry Warning #Black Mold #Bugs is back at least! Show Notes Welcome to Open Tabs! We had to talk about the black mold in the castle one day: We're covering Harry Potter Fanfiction and the she-who-should-be-ignored who wrote it and uses its continued, metastasized presence in fan culture spaces to justify her bigotry. BUT we've got a bright side to this episode's shit-stain of a topic: We brought Bugs back to help us talk through it!

It's Monday and before half of us scramble off to Vegas: We've got a new episode about a topic that should have gone away long ago... But sadly we're back in the building a-fucking-gain.

Let's talk about the black mold and the boy wizard in the room.

We can't keep Monday from rolling around every week, but maybe we can make this one a little better with a NEW OPEN TABS EPISODE 👀

opentabs.libsyn.com/internet-his...

Which magic the gathering character deserves fanfic the most?

Not dramatic, world ending fanfic, with high stakes or a million characters locked in a complicated power struggle.

B-plot fanfic.

The “meanwhile Geordi and Data are forced to become 18th century pirates on the holodeck” stuff.

THE GOAL 👏

Congrats! Also you have impeccable taste in pairings 👏

Here's another nightly fanfiction rant bc ISTG #fanfiction #fanfic #ao3 TikTok video by tappytoeclaws

Another Tappy TikTok rant:

Okay so let's talk about this I fuckin guess... I am SO tired #fanfic #fanfiction #ao3 #ao3fanfic #millennial #fandom TikTok video by tappytoeclaws

Tappy posted a rant on TikTok that's ... Similar enough to the sort of content you get on the podcast (if less intoxicated and more exasperated 😩)

09: #Biological Tender #Brunettes with Bangs #Biblical Canon Show Notes Welcome to Open Tabs! We've got another episode from the cache for you this week - we're talking about purity culture and how this strange backslide is affecting fandom spaces. What's up with the this shift in the way folks interact with liscened and fan media and each other? We don't have all the answers but we certainly have some loud opinions (and less some very important opinions about the philosophy and fine craft of good chicken wings.) This podcast and this episode cover adult themes and discuss explicit content: listener discretion is advised.

ITS A NEW OPEN TABS DAY 👏

This is definitely a fanfiction podcast where we talk about fanfiction - not chicken wings.

ALSO... We might have another announcement later today, so give this a listen and stand by 👀

Is it not working? I'll get our tech guy on it!

What are we planning on doing with your money? Glad you asked, smarty pants! This project is the fun, quicky little brain (rot) child we all share in a fucked up, loving custody system - we're not monetizing it out of any attempt to run away with a bag. We’re looking to cover our costs: netting neutral on the fees for our recording software, editing software, website hosting and music licensing would be incredible! Being able to buy our editor Bryan a burrito every once in a while for all his work and maybe even some of Tappy’s very official folly equipment. Everything past that we’d like to invest back into the project, obviously: better equipment, getting the cast out on more platforms (youtube, shorts, tiktok, fuck instagram but instagram I guess?), commissioning some artists and designers for stuff… That sort of thing. We’re also hoping we can boost up the discord if the community grows and make it into a fun, wacky creative space for fun weirdos to find each other and their fun weirdo shit, maybe run some fic writing events (exchanges, big bangs and the like?) We’d love to hear from you!

This IS very much just a start and we wanna be very above board since we're talking about fanfiction - and the authors we love and support CANNOT monetize their work in the way we can monetize a podcast. We'd love feedback!

Please check out the ABOUT section of our Patreon for more details.

And here's our second exciting bit of news: the Open Tabs Patreon is LIVE 👏

(Which means a very cool fanfiction discord of is ALSO OPEN 👀 We're hoping we can grow this into a funky fresh weirdo community of *our own* you could say!)

08: #Anime Spoilers #Alcohol #Academia (because ninja school was taken) Show Notes Welcome to Open Tabs! This weeks episode is another from the archived recordings. The crew sets out to discuss the epilogue of My Hero Academia and proceeds to rate of all of shounen anime to filth - except for Yu Yu Hakusho - that one's almost perfect. This podcast and this episode cover adult themes and discuss explicit content: listener discretion is advised.

2/3 of our hosts are traveling currently to escape the horrors, how about an episode from the backlog?

We talk the wrap ups of many a shonen anime and come to the conclusion that either they're ALL bad or MAYBE millennial queers are not the target audience.

opentabs.libsyn.com/08-anime-spo...

We're working on a schedule and some other structural stuff! For now we're roughly every-other-weekly? Stay tuned.
