When there's trouble, you know who to call! From their tower, they can see it all! All the way from 2003, Maya has resurrected a fandom that has been quietly creating content in their small corner of the internet.

Wattpad... we all know it, we all have our opinions about it (good or bad), but there's one thing that we can't stop talking about and that is its fanfiction. From reading the worst Wattpad fanfiction to criticizing the highly popular book and movie series After , which is also fanfiction, anyone on the outside would think Wattpad is a sight similar to AO3 or FanFiction. Net. But did Wattp...

Our very own certified lore whore is back to lore dump on us once again. But she is back to promote and hope (fingers crossed) that you play one of her favorite indie games of the last few years. Chockful of sci-fi elements, horrifying gore, a very purposefully confusing plot line, and a hard as fuck survival system, GTFO has everything Maya could ever ask for in a video game, and she hope that sh...

Is Overwatch maybe a red flag game? Possibly. Is that going to stop Maya's streak of playing the game and reading their fanfiction? Absolutely not. She hasn't stopped for eight years, and she isn't stopping now. And out of all of the characters that you could play (Maybe I'll be Tracer/I'm already Tracer, What about Widowmaker?/I'm already Widowmaker), there is one characte...

Well... we've made it. Our 100th episode is finally here, and, of course, we're going to go all out. We wouldn't be here as fanfiction and fandom podcasters, as fanfiction readers and writers, or even as friends if not for one little site you may have heard of... Archive of Our Own. This site has given us so much, so it seems fitting to commemorate 100 episodes with a tribute and a bit...

As alw...
