We are starting an new story this week, “This Time Around,” by Disneydoll0424. Join us as we travel back in time with Hermione and watch while she works to change history as we know it. She also falls in love with one of the Marauders and in like with another. We discuss “the grandfather paradox”, “take me to your leader” and “that special place.”
We really like the characterization of Peter in this, but we don’t like Peter at all. We have some of our usual off topic banter, but try really hard to keep to the story. Also in this episode Sue has a squeaky chair, Kelly doesn’t have power and Kat thinks “that’s bull!”

In this episode we discuss a great one shot by Arnel, called “Molly’s Tale.” We learn that when Molly is upset or stressed she cooks. We also visit a little Wrock, talk about ho vs. hoe and find out who is off topic. The hosts find they are not up on their canon and need to go back and read it again. Stay tuned at the end for a message from Arnel.

Wow, we are starting our fifth season. It seems like just yesterday Melindaleo encouraged me to listen to a podcast she was on and now I’m one of the hosts. It boggles the mind. But now I’m “off topic” so I’ll “focus” and come back to the fic in question. Today we are covering “A Conspiracy of Cartographers – In the Beginning” by pica scribit. This is a Marauder fic, which makes some of us happy. We find that Greyback is a child molester, Remus is the invisible boy and Molly is saucy. There are plot bunnies, broom lessons and magical weed. And we have a drinking game, but we don’t tell you when to “take a shot” – that’s our little secret.

~Stuff is useful
~Keys
~The Lost Room
~Logic puzzles
~Tricia’s funny sound

Tonight, PFW and PE collide to discuss what makes bad fanfiction. This is not to single out anyone’s OTP and call it bad, but rather to discuss what makes bad!fic of that pairing. We actually stay away from specific pairings for the most part and focus on themes and cliches. Total recording time for this session was 5 hours and 45 minutes.
Dethryl does the introduction without the critical “And”, yet we somehow survive. PS is broadcasting from inside a tea kettle. Rena’s siblings try to get on the call. Kat does something else that’s funny. Deth and Kat are drinking wine while PS is medicated. Rena’s the sober one and scared of these crazy people on the line with her. She runs away about halfway through.
Topics:
* Non-canon nicknames like Mione, Siri, Sevy, Lucky, and so on, as well as the stupidity of “Harry” being a nickname.
* Ron being Ron.
* Peter is always evil.
* AU do’s and don’ts.
* Next-Gen is seldom more than a clone of our heroes and villains.
* Fanfiction of fanfiction.
* Slash warnings and Het warnings. Explosions, chases, and action warnings.
* Mary Sues.
* Dragging external stuff into HP when it blatantly contradicts canon.
* Martial arts.
* Shopping.
* Localized speech patterns and Briticisms.
* Unhealthy fascination with Muggle stuff.
* Snape and house points.
* Houses other than Slytherin are also evil.
* Harry adoption.
* Crossovers.
* Cassie Claire.
Startling Revelations:
* Kat has kids.
* Dethryl has written a fic called They Shook Hands.
* PS likes slash.
Maniacs: Dethryl, Kat, PS, and Rena
Runtime: 4’58’29

The Potterficweekly hosts are happy and a little sad to be bringing you the last episode of Season 4 with “Away From The Sun” by cibjasfad. Harry, AKA Joe, is going home and there are a lot of red haired people waiting to greet him. He finds out that he’s welcome no matter what name he goes by. Tricia is happy to find that fluff makes her want to puke, so we get more vomit even if Andi hasn’t put it in the story. Sue’s neighbor shows up unexpectedly and she has to leave for a few minutes while the others chat and Tricia thinks about bed time. We have a lot of love for Kingsley, Neville and Molly. And the animals take over once again.
Stay tuned at the end for an author interview where we find out just what cibjasfad stands for and that LJ isn’t always safe if someone has your password. Check out Andi’s podcast, GalleryCast, you can find it on iTunes.

In this, our third episode of “Away From The Sun” by cibjasfad, we are pleased to follow Ginny as she searches for Harry. In the process we find out that Kelly is a tour guide, Tricia loves it when a fic includes vomit and Kat is the new Scott. We also dip into Tarot reading 101. We go about things a little differently tonight as we start the podcast with our usual nonsense and then end it that way too. Somewhere in the middle we get distracted by vibrations.
This is going out today because it’s Ryan’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Ryan! We want to thank you for the gift of Poufwa. In honor of Ryan’s birthday, we are attaching his birthday’s Masterfic from Poufwa’s first season.
