Welcome to the place where the story never ends!

Episode 113 - Goodbye, Farewell, Amen, and the Dangers of Oversharing

PotterFicWeekly’s third season finale, and the final episode of classic Poufwa, has been released!

Our fellow Poufwanians, after three and a half years of appendix-rupturing, whale-slicing, volcano-rupturing, scorpion-biting, vicodin-downing madness resulting in one arrest, one traffic citation, six near deaths, one aquatic fornication and matching insemination, a conversion, two weddings, three babies, two buns in the oven, a runaway tractor, two bags of non-temperate dairy products, a scandalous of use popcorn and a hit ’round the rear, the team that inspired a forum to become a family and launched more lifelong friendships that can be counted is handing over the reigns to the next generation of Poufwanians!

Everyone reading this has busy lives, and you’ve stuck with us longer than we deserved your attention and longer than we ever thought we’d need it. We can’t thank you enough for the journey! When we think back to the people we were when this whole trip started, it’s hard to believe we’re the same people. When we’re old and gray, and have several weeks free with nothing to do, we’ll listen to the whole journey again, probably having forgotten most of it, and remember very good days while asking the question any newbie would ask:

Is Jen real or did we make her up for the ratings?

First of all, PotterFicWeekly isn’t going anywhere, and it’s only getting better from here. The fourth season of PotterFicWeekly launches in the next few days and offers strikingly sober analysis of Harry Potter fan fiction with a Poufwa twist. I think that means they come prepared and do a better job than we ever did, but something blows up anyway. If you’re not done with Harry yet, the story isn’t close to ending. If you are, listen anyway. They’re Poufwanians, and this is their schedule!

Starting next week, the Poufwa Exchange launches it’s second season and is upgraded to a full-time podcast! The classic Poufwa hosts will dive into other fandoms with PotterFicWeekly-style discussion episodes that may or may not be on-topic. Read up, watch up, or come as you are. The season premiere will also be out in a few days. Here’s our upcoming lineup!

Tonight’s episode is a quadruple-length edition! We begin with a special introduction written by Scarlett, starring herself, Dethryl, PS, Scott, Sue, Jen2, Kezza, Julia, and Kat. The Friday the 13th joke was funnier when she wrote it.

We then move on to our episode discussion, concluding wonderful Kezza’s equally wonderful Rebuilding Life, discussing Chapters 46 through to the epilogue!

Straight from there, you’re all invited to the combination author interview/wrap party! It’s a good thing Kezza is one of our own, because the alcohol was flowing at this point. There’s so many bullet points I could use at this point, but all I can tell you is one very special Poufwanian woke up the next morning with no memory of the recording and a note written on her palm to call me to discuss the events of the previous evening. I’ll give you a hint. It wasn’t Sarah Palin!

Bring kleenex!

And in the final episode of PeonCast, Math Geek Heaven: Arithmancy and an Imaginary Train, the Peons discuss Platform i by shewhoguards!

~Tim Tams = Yummy
~Scott’s microphone and a special hat
~Infinite fractional platforms
~Wizard spam
~We love to laugh
~Moving boundaries
~That’s not a number!
~Those weird Arithmancy wizards
~Walking into walls
~Muggles know their stuff
~Marauder daze
~Things fall apart
~This is the train you’re looking for
~Remus Van Winkle
~Last PeonCast

We hope you’ve had happy listening! Subscribe to both podcasts and stick with us in the years ahead!

So say we all!

Episode 112 - Dirt Dirt, Boat Boats, Book Books, Police Police, and The Calm Before the Storm

Episode 112 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

Due to a gas leak in the Poufwa Offices, the first 82 lucky downloaders have received an advanced copy of Episode 114, our fourth season premiere, in place of tonight’s PeonCast. If you’re one of the lucky ones, feel free to download the episode again!

In classic Poufwa’s penultimate episode, we resume coverage of Kezza’s Rebuilding Life, discussing Chapters 39-45!

A little.

We also settle the Mac/PC debate, figure out what’s going on with that whole Tea Party business, and debate the pros and cons of tipping at the Olive Garden. Jen’s here too, prepared with notes and highlighters but three years late.

Next week’s triple-length episode will be the final PotterFicWeekly of the original crew, containing final chapter analysis of Kezza’s fic and the Poufwa wrap party. You’ve known us for years and know what we’re capable of, but all that goes out the window when Rinna brings the beverages.

Join us in toasting Poufwa, the best podcast on the feed!

But the story never ends and neither does the podcast. The Peons take over with Episode 114 and are busy at work on the best season of Poufwa yet, while myself and many of your favorite Poufwanians are moving over to our sequel podcast, the Poufwa Exchange. Full-time Poufwanians will snort their way through some of the best fandoms ever conceived. With Aaron’s keyboard feeling our way through the dark, the journey begins in two weeks. Since we’re Poufwanians, more like three. We hope to see you there!

Speaking of Peons, in Episode 55 of PeonCast, Crying under the Oak Tree, the Peons discuss Wednesday Dates and A Proper Place, by fizzmonkeys!

~Kelly gives this a pass
~Relationship advice from Tricia
~The romantic tree
~And the one that’s not
~He’s all alone
~The text reader needs to ‘read’ italics
~”I’m helping him cry.”
~We needed a laugh
~Ryuu doesn’t like H/G, but was touched anyway

And stay tuned for our first Author Interview.

Snape works for OnStar, we remember the o-zone layer, and final thoughts on the fic!

The Infamous Episode 106!

The long awaited Episode 106 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

Tonight, with eight episodes left before your humble hosts pass the Torch and incinerate five square-miles of Texas, Poufwa offers the second of three episode series reviewing Stealing Harry, by Sam_StoryTeller, with discussion of Chapters 7-21!

No show-notes. You wouldn’t believe it if we wrote them. This episode is one of the best we’ve ever released, combining hosts of past and present who are all on the mark, or off the mark…whichever is the good one. So as much as I want to spoil you on PS’ naval career, you’re on your own.

After these two very helpful necessary visual aids that you are ordered not to open until the time is right…

Open me only when everyone checks out PS’ artwork!

Open me when everyone checks out Jen1’s artwork!

Episode 105 - Can we make a general observation?

Episode 105 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

Tonight, with nine episodes left before your humble hosts pass the Torch and incinerate five square-miles of Texas, Poufwa launches a three episode series reviewing Stealing Harry, by Sam_StoryTeller, with discussion of Chapters 1-6!

Stealing Harry grabs canon by the throat and disembowls it. If Lucius Malfoy got to Peter Pettigrew before Sirius could, Sirius would be a bookshop owner, Remus would have a steady job, and one day, when Harry Potter was eight-and-a-half years old, they might kidnap him from the Dursleys… (Sirius/Remus in later chapters)

In this episode, LadyChi returns to the fold, bringing back that special something that’s been missing. I drink jet fuel, PS may or may not be drunk, Rinna is very upset, and half of the dialogue gets bleeped.

And Harry gets stolen!

This episode also includes:

…Rinna in the dryer
…koolaid!
…big words!
…surgery on the cheap
…something so horrifying that Rinna almost wishes for…small anatomically impossible, same-sex reproduced humans.
…the most lying liars
…Melinda’s favorite line EVAH
…a Rinna foreshadowing shocker
…the losing of Jen1
…the breaking of PS, and how a purple comforter and blood relate to her love of Saul Tigh and Horace

in Episode 48 of PeonCast, My Name is What?, Drunk Podcasting and Dobby the Cardshark, the Peons discuss Registration, also by Sam_StoryTeller, or Copperbadge!

~Remus - Squeeeee
~Mike - the plant, not the person
~Sue can’t speak
~Wizard scrapbooks
~Tricia - a celebrity
~Watch out for pregnant woman
~What’s an elevator?
~Another Weasley
~Minnie
