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

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.
Potterficweekly turns 5 years old on Monday, so look for something special for our birthday. We’ll be back with Season 5 soon. We’ll be starting our new season with “Conspiracy of Cartographers” by Pica Scribit.
