Episode 78: It's Not Going to be Right the First Time (w/SilentWanderlust)

Canonically Incorrect

Fanfiction author SilentWanderlust (Blood Bind, Burn The Witch, and Periodicty), joins Sydney and Maya to talk about being as inclusive as possible while writing Y/N fanfiction, how writing fanfiction as a starting point helps a writer gain skills to use for future original works, the oddities of what characters our brains decide to hold on to, and if SilentWanderlust would ever 'file off the serial numbers' and publish her fanfiction as original novels. Plus, Sydney and Maya wonder if fanfictions authors who want to write as a hobby differ from authors who write with a goal of publishing in the future. As always, send us your fic recommendations, or reach out if you are a fic author who would like to be interviewed in the future, at [email protected].

Check out Blood Bind, Touch Like Fire, and Periodicty, as well as all of Silent's other fics on Archive of Our Own.
