The Dramione Effect

And...we're back!! This episode features the talented Jamie Golden and Erin Moon of The Pop Cast w/ Knox& Jamie and Shelf Respect. Two wildly popular podcasts that you should definitely be listening to right after this one. I first was introduced to my guests by way of a rogue mention of A Hard Row To Hoe by (Pod bestie) Blessdtoaster. They are, as we say "a good time", and this...

My guest this week is the author of one of my favorite (shorter) fics and over 125 other works in the HP Fandom. Her works span so many different ships, genres and lengths that you can get lost in her AO3. I was so excited to get to yap with her and I hope you enjoy our lengthy conversation. The tea was served piping hot and it just kept coming. We covered a lot of ground in the episode. From fand...

This week I am joined by the incredible author, scullymurphy. If you've been reading Dramione for at least a minute you've most likely read one of her fics. I had the chance to chat about her work, both original and fanfic. In the episode we get to yapping about how she's turned her writing journey into a career, the Rolled Sleeves Agenda, being a 'girl's girl', F1 and Hock...

In this episode we're joined by the hilarious (Blessdtoaster just avert your eyes) Rogue_Roxy. The creator behind Oops! I Joined The Good Guys, Where The Duck Is Minerva McGonagall and more. Thankfully, Roxy agreed to a take two of our conversation, after the first one was plagued by sound/delay issues. It took (not a lot of) convincing and here we are! You're in for a treat because this one takes...

My guest for this episode is author Allison Meinhart, who goes by thebrightcity on AO3. She's been writing FF for quite awhile and so graciously agreed to come hang out with us and yap about Dramione. In the episode we take a long look back at how far fanfiction has come and the changes we've seen along the way. This yap session includes: writing other pairings within the Dramione space, TikTok &...

We're back with Season 3 and up first is one of my faves!! Angie aka galfoy is an incredible writer who began posting back in 2011 on fanfiction.net. I read her one-shot 'Red Door 79' and saw the beautiful art by (former guest) Landbeorht and was hooked. I immediately subscribed and have been a huge fan ever since. In the episode we chat about how far fanfiction has come with the rise...

Here we are friends! The end of season two and our final Artist's Month interview. I had the most fun sitting down to chat with Sara better known as Chaosandcodices. I've been lucky to call her a friend and collaborator this year and I can't wait for you to get to know her better. In the episode we get into what brought her into fandom, her art practice, which Muppet she identifies as,...

The lovely and multi-talented, artist/writer, landbeorht (It means 'Bright Land' btw) was kind enough to sit down for a chat and I hope you'll enjoy the results. We covered a lot of ground in the episode; how she arrived at Dramione, her art background and a variety of wildly different topics including how to cover the smell of weed, bougee grocery stores, food allergies and more. She...

Welcome to the 2nd round of Artist's Month!! I was so excited to sit down with my guest sophiesstreet to chat about her incredible art and to get to know her a little better. In this episode we really cover a lot of ground with topics including; British lemonade standards (lacking), buzzcuts, submissive men, adopting cats, and her inability to draw straight hair. You can find sophiesstreet on...

SPOILER ALERT!!!!! This episode contains spoilers for the ENTIRE story of Wreck A Malfoy!!! If you have not read the fic and don't want it spoiled, DO NOT LISTEN until you are finished. There, you can't say I didn't warn you!!! It was an absolute delight to chat with Ramelle_Kammae about her gorgeous writing and to deep-dive into how she created WAM. We had such a good time yapping abo...

My guest this week is the amazing morgan_magic, aka the 'Fest Queen' (at least that's what I call her!!) She joined me all the way from Australia to chat about her work and engage in general silliness. I hope you enjoy our rambling yap fest, interspersed with moments of topical focus. (The topic being Draco Malfoy's abs.) We played a fun round of 'Either Or' and learned som...

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. Let us pray...for hot Priest Draco fics and whatever other smut we can think of to talk about in this episode. I hope you're ready to hear from Charingfae (and learn how to pronounce her pseud correctly!) We get into a long list of topics and go wide of the mark on many things, including fragrances, bartending, rolled sleeves agenda, interior design, real e...

In this episode, we get to yapping about one of my favorite fics of the year (so far), Turning Pages by Jenetica. A story based on a film, based on a book, based on a fic!! A hall of mirrors, if you will. Along the way, we manage to get into fandom etiquette, how not to be a dick, the joy of works in progress, and epic chicken stories that transcend the human experience. All of the recs from this...

This episode was a long time in the making. If you've been listening, you'll recognize the name Caroline Sedgefield. I've gushed about her fics in many episodes and have gotten lucky enough to call her a friend. We got to chat about ALL of her fics, learn about her travels, and what inspires her. Along the way, we manage to yap about Draco fancasts, the undead, being bilingual, creatur...

Get yourself a friend who knows how to make stuff, specifically bound copies of your favorite fanfics. It was an auspicious day for me to get to call Sam my friend!! In this episode, we manage to yap about all things Dramione, learning how to drive, AOL chat rooms, blocking your family on social media, and play a variation of FMK. You can find Sam on Instagram as sjs_binding Find The Dramione Effe...

I'm not even going to sugar coat this one. Do you like to read smut? If yes, proceed. If not...this won't be for you. Join us as we blaze a trail through our AO3 bookmarks and recently read lists to bring you the spicy recs. The Google Doc on this one is EPIC!!!! Kinks galore, tropes on tropes, how many pairs are there?? I solemnly swear that we are up to no good. This mischief is unmanage...

And we're back... I took a week off from posting and (sort of) got it together enough to record with the always hilarious Beth. You may have heard about or seen these small, demon-like dolls called Labubus all over social media. Well, she's obsessed, I'm unbothered. In this episode, we cover a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, bullying men, current events on BookTok,...

On this episode, I am joined by podfic narrator Ollie, also known as The Wizard Wheezes. He's the outstanding voice actor bringing all of your favorite characters to life in fics like Courage and Conviction, Meet Me in Dreamland, and currently A Hard Row to Hoe. We take a trip through fandom, chat about Hallmark Christmas movies, insomnia, being hunted by serial killers, and so much more. You...

It's onebedtorulethemall's world and we're just living in it! And what a wonderful world it is. In this episode, you'll meet one of my favorite fic writers and get the inside scoop on how she ended up in Dramione land. We run headfirst into a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to: AI scraping, gothic horror novels, hot influencers, boujee candles, astrology, and so mu...

This fic is a wild roller coaster ride with twists and turns that will keep you guessing. As soon as I started reading, I knew I had to chat with Neilistic and get the inside story. She did not disappoint; this conversation has just as many plot twists as the fic itself. Some of our topics we managed to cover: her lack of social media, Gabby Windey, calling people "cunt" affectionately,...

Join us on this week's episode to delve into the nature of "fangirl" culture. My guest, Lindsay, helps me dissect the more profound meaning of the problematic title. We discuss our own "fangirl" moments and the phenomenon as a whole. I'm sure you'll find many parallels in our conversation. We're nothing if not over-sharing, once again. Topics covered include: Tw...

We're here to get dark and depraved (not really, though; we're still giggly dum dums) with all the Dead Dove fic recs you can't handle. Listen at your own risk because some of the fics contain spoilers. Sorry! Dead Dove: Do Not Eat is a warning or tag that indicates that a fanwork contains tropes or elements that may be morally reprehensible without explicitly condemning the sensitive...

We're back with our first Book Club episode of Season 2! I loved following this fic as a WIP, and I know many of you did too. The fic was completed in January, and this was recorded soon after. I hope you've had a chance to read it, but if you have not, this episode will contain spoilers aplenty! Consider yourself warned! Enter the world of Serpenti and find out what happens when Casino ow...

I switched it up slightly in light of the current fandom climate. I said, "screw my bi-weekly schedule," and went rogue with this critical conversation. I trust Ipek as a fandom resource, and it was Kismet that we already had a recording scheduled. I invite you into this conversation and hope you take something with you, whether you're brand new to the fanfiction space or have been around for year...

The fantastic podfic narrator Pandapatronus is my guest on this episode, and I fangirled from the jump! Her version of Bloody, Slutty, and Pathetic is my ALL TIME favorite thing ever, and now she is bringing her talent to DMATMOOBIL!! Join us on our off-the-rails conversation about all things fandom, the insurgence of Antonin Dolohov, knitting, smut writing, and the inherent cringe, rare pairs, an...
