200 episodes in and WE FINALLY HAVE A PLAN! (For one episode. Enjoy it while it lasts!)
If you know us, you’ll know we love us some shippy goodness. For the non-nerds (or anyone who hasn’t listened to this podcast) (or met us) that means we’ll decide that two characters in a movie, network TV show, book, comic book, webcomic, or 1980s cartoon are meant for each other and we’ll obsessively track down fan art and fan fiction about them, and if we can’t find any, we’ll make some ourselves.
If that sounds like your cup of tea, buckle up, because in this episode we discuss over thirty of our favorite pairings, from Star Trek, Star Wars, Transformers, X-Men, Doctor Who, ElfQuest, Vampire Diaries, West Wing (yes really), MacGyver (YES OKAY SHUT UP) and a lot more. Trigger warnings for vague references to cartoon smut, and the blatant objectification of several handsome male celebrities.
And whether you’ve listened to 200 episodes or just the one, thank you for stopping by, you’re awesome.

This week’s outro music is a clip from Underground Revolution by TeknoAXE.
A good companion to this episode is the Lost in Sci Fi “Fan Fiction” episode we recorded with Leland and Jada.
All our obsessive thorough coverage of Friday the 13th the series is here, here, here, and here. (Or you can go to the Friday the 13th tag on the site, but that’s going to get some Jason stuff in there too.)
The New Teen Titans issue we talked about was #39 from 1988, with art by Eduardo Barreto (pencils), Romeo Tanghal (inker), and Adrienne Roy (colors.)
The Mazikeen/Beatrice fanfic Kathryn was talking about can be found here.
You can find the info on Kathryn’s #Dragonfall drawing challenge here!
