Welcome to the place where the story never ends!

PFW Rewind: Special Edition #2 – End of Potter Survival Guide

banner.jpg

While your Poufwa hosts are busy recording their thoughts on Deathly Hallows, Part 2 at this very moment, PotterFicWeekly is pleased to look back and re-release our second Special Edition Podcast: The End of Potter Survival Guide.

First released on July 28, 2007 in response to the release of the final novel, Poufwa prepared an audio triage kit for our friends and families outside the fandom who didn’t realize that the story didn’t have to end. As you come across these lost souls on their way to grief counseling in the next few days, we’d like to encourage you to share Poufwa and the fandom with them, starting with this classic episode.

And whether you’ve never been, or a long lost Poufwanian, we’d like to invite everyone to the PotterFicWeekly forum located at potterficforum dot com. Long after we run out of fan fiction, the hosts and listeners of Poufwa will still be very much involved in each other’s lives, and we’re always looking to expand the family.

Back to the past.

Join Ryan, Jen, LadyChi, and INTRODUCING Spellcast’s Robert Standring as we offer a brief introduction to the world of Harry Potter fan fiction, including our best recommendations for those who may never have considered fan fiction, but are now desperate for more story. We encourage you to recommend this episode to fellow Harry Potter fans as a way to bring them into the fandom.

To make the transition easier, this will the our shortest episode of PotterFicWeekly yet. But not to disappoint our regular listeners, we all take a sex quiz.

Happy listening!

Ryan

Do the best you can for as long as you can. Remember that all may yet be well. Don't be afraid.

Episode 125: Harry, Son of Prongs; Teddy, Son of Moony.


This is our third episode dedicated to “Teddy Lupin and the Forest Guard” by FernWithy. In it we find out that Oliversgal is a Mary Sue and a fan girl, Aaron’s true feelings for Robert and that Sue has killer chickens. Oliversgal, has glasses that insist on hitting the microphone as she talks and Aaron is typing throughout, but he doesn’t fall asleep. Scott’s neighbors have strange mowing habits, while Kelly’s mute button almost works. We forget we aren’t Peons anymore and bring some of our favorite Peon moments back for all to enjoy.

We have a some burning questions: What house is Jo in? What do you do for Christmas? and Who do you feed to a dementor?

Sue pulled out most of her hair while editing this and it’s still a little rough, so hang in there.

Also in this episode:
~We discuss our first time…
~Sue learned from Ryan
~Sue can’t do math
~Aaron wants Muggles and Minions
~Used wands
~Score!!!
~OG and Scott share a brain

Special Episode 28: The Peon’s Ride Again!

Special Edition 28 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

In this flash-from-the-past, Poufwa reviews But I Want to be a Weasley!” By Deadwoodpecker. We recorded it on Kayla’s birthday two years ago and we thought it would be fun to release it on her half year birthday. At least that was the plan, until the server wouldn’t take the password. Typical Poufwa. Ryan stepped in and saved the day, so we are getting this out on her half birthday by the skin of our teeth. Kayla we hope you have a great half birthday.

Oh and we talk about Harry Potter and the Weasleys too.

Episode 124 Heather’s having an identity crisis, protect your bum 101, and cat tricks


In this our second installment of “Teddy Lupin and the Forest Guard” by FernWithy, we discuss chapters 6 through 10, even though Sue thinks it should be 11. She can’t read her own notes. We have two Peons who need a couple of takes to get us going, then aren’t sure what name they should use. Later while we are exploring the chapter we find out Winky’s in charge, Professor Longbottom is fair and that James is a Teddy seeking missile. And at some point there might be Muppets.

We might also mention:
~Kappas
~Bubblehead Charms
~How does your Garden Grow
~Detention FTW
~Which Wand?
~Whompy
~A Sea of Purple
~Koolaid
~Follow the Footprints

Episode 123: The Milkman in the Parlor with the Candlestick


In this Episode we begin our journey with “Teddy Lupin and the Forest Guard” by FernWithy. We start out in a VW Bug and end up on a “Mission from God” and along the way we discuss pet names, experimental wands and marching band for ghosts. The Smeltings sticker makes us wonder and “Muggles and Minions” tempt us to stop in the Hufflepuff common room for a game. Once again, Kelly is the odd Ravenclaw out, but we are Puffs, we love her anyway. Oh, and Oliversgal never did get her dog.

And that’s just the highlights, we also discuss:

~Driving 101
~The Orphan Tour
~Teddy’s Not Alone

~Allergies
~Checkmate
~Wind tunnels

Special Edition 27 – Turn Around Ryan, Turn Around

Special Edition 27, Poufwa’s commentary on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been released! A bunch of women and Ryan got together to watch a movie. But Poufwa isn’t Poufwa without it’s own set of problems. This episode, Ryan was sharing his microphone with two of them. Expect computer dragging, Snape-loving, sobbing over elf-sized corpses… and then we started the movie. Strap yourselves in and hold on tight – you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll feel utterly Poufwanian doing it.

Episode 121 – Kat’s wearing her grumpy pants, Tricia’s stuck in the dryer, and Sue’s the herbology professor

Episode 121 has now been released!

In this episode we go back to the world of the Founders, as we discuss Moon and Stone by Andrea13 and Persephone_Kore. Well some of us do, some think we are reading a Marauder’s fic. This is the fic PS found after reading Tale of a Time Long Gone and being challenged by Ryan to find something as good. PS says this one is better.

Lassie and Tricia aren’t convinced and Lassie has this to say, “she’s really grumpy on this podcast – If she remembers correctly it was because she was stuck in the suburbs for 10 days- she apologizes and amends that she remembers it was a very good fic.”

Also in this:

Salazar is a werewolf, and is having a bad day
Helga the Cheerful Hufflepuff and Salazar the Snarky Slytherin
Rowena/Godric and Helga’s the third wheel
Lassie doesn’t like that the founders get paired up together
Tricia is stuck in the dryer because of her shiny new computer.
Werewolf-sized Tupperware
There’s a line of people who want to hit Salazar over the head
Poufwa begins, they’re all mad
Helga bounces and Salazar Hissssssessss
Parsletounges hissss
Professor Sue gives an herbology lesson on Eyebright
M.S. Lupin redux
We give a history lesson about feminism 1000 years ago

Special Edition 26 – Four Excited Poufwanians walked into an Exhibition Exposition

Special Edition 26 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

Tonight, we discuss the experience that is Harry Potter: The Exhibition.  This podcast took us an age and a century to finally record (and about half that to release), so we don’t remember every little detail in its proper order, but we do try to walk you through in a somewhat linear fashion.  Being PFW, we also wander off on tangents such as who exactly touched which objects and the contents of various museums, reminiscence about Special Edition 4, decry the under-representation of Hufflepuff in merchandise, and in the case of at least one host, consume copious amounts of alcohol.  At least twice Scott loses track of a section, and once Kat renames an entire city!

Nonetheless, we hope that this will give you a good account of what it’s like, remind you of your own trip(s), inspire you to go for the first time, or at the very least make you laugh.  

Disclaimer: Poufwa does not endorse the abrogation of Exhibition guidelines.  Do try to resist petting things, kids. Additionally we do not endorse any violent actions against others, no matter how annoying they might be – and no matter how much they may try to elbow you out of the way. As a general reminder, Poufwa should not be listened to while lifting heavy equipment, driving tractors, or cooking/eating pancakes.

Episode 120 – Floating S’mores, Flaming Bill and Kelly loves Kingsley

Episode 120 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

In this episode the Poufwa crew join the Weasleys as they take on Umbridge in The Worthy King and Fred And, by The Starhorse.  In the process, Fred foams at the mouth, Bill is on fire, and Charlie is appreciated from many angles.  Fair warning: Umbridge is present far too often for anyone’s peace of mind, and reaches new lows in character that are liable to cause increasingly virulent muttering.  Fortunately, judicious applications of JFF and A Very Potter Sequel not only allow us to maintain equilibrium, they also (hopefully) add entertainment value for you!  We would like to give a special thanks to Justin Finch-Fletchley for allowing us to use his song Umbridge is Dumbridge.  Repeatedly.  

Please join us in wishing Justin well as he recovers from a vocal condition that has him sitting on the sidelines at this time, not to mention assorted other injuries.  If the PFW curse has reached out to you, Justin, we heartily apologize.

Also in this episode:

~Where’s Tricia?
~Kat learns about the Poufwa Curse
~Kat is NOT a morning person
~We love to HATE Umbridge
~Sue discovers the Lexicon
~Charlie’s PJ’s
~Umbridge’s “eye candy.”
~”Not my sons you B…!”
~Fred’s filter is George
~I MUST tell lies.
~Guilty by association
~Don’t hurt Scarlett
~Not “My” Molly
~Freak Flooing Accident
~We interrupt this podcast for the animals
~She gets what she deserves
~An inserted moment
~The power of and
~Surprise pancakes
