Good story. No time.

Ugh. I have some good "story fix" fanfic ideas in my head, but I have zero time to write that stuff, so I'll just have to let it simmer in my head for years until someone else writes it for me.

We're TWO WEEKS away from season 3, so that means it's time a season 2 recap! (And...I don't know...maybe there's something else in this episode too.)

Are you really a writer if you haven't done this at least one 100 times?

shocking how much of writing is putting down a sentence and then thinking, "okay, but now a less shitty version of that"

Absolutely friggin' gorgeous!

Adding to this list! Kiss: The Audio Series created by Xperience J Timestorm created by Dania Ramos Small Victories (@wgc-productions) Camlann (@camlannpod)

"where are the audio dramas made by women??"

"where are the audio dramas made by poc??"

they are here. they exist and they are plentiful. you just need to stop listening to the same show 3 shows made by white men on repeat. it is always so painfully clear to me the difference between people who are fans of Audio Drama as a medium and people who are fans of (insert big show here). When their chosen fixation fails to provide the representation that they claim to advocate for, they make up for it via diverse headcanons instead of listening to shows Made by marginalized communities.

expand your horizons. don't just reblog posts with lists of shows made by marginalized communities, actually listen to those shows. talk about them on social media. the Big Shows don't need more publicity, they will be popular forever. put your mouth and your support where you claim it is.

One day, I will get better at using tumblr. I hope that day is sooner rather than later.

I'm really glad that the audio drama community seems to have really come together on tumblr. It's very nice to be able to interact with lots of other fans + and creators, and it's also very nice not to have to try and use a different social media platform.

Day 1: Fool Me Once

ATONEMENT

The twist at the end of this STILL pisses me off. I was utterly heartbroken, and I didn't need a story to do me like that.

Day 2: A film about doctors

NO WAY OUT (1950)

A Black doctor is accused of killing a white prisoner, and the dead man's brother works to turn the entire town against the doctor. This was Sidney Poitier's first (credited) film, and new to me.

Every year, I do a 30-Day Film Challenge on Facebook. Since I'm trying to spread my wings, I'm bringing the challenge to Tumblr! If you want to participate, please do!! And share it with your friends. The challenge: watch a movie every day that follows the prompt. (Yes, I sometimes cheat by picking a movie I've already seen when I don't feel like watching one. It's cool.) Have fun! I can't wait to see what you choose. If you need a text version: click here

I'm actually speechless. This bracelet is GORGEOUS!! 🥹

Today's BIPOCtober shoutout is to @observerpix's Apollyon! 30 years after the Apollyon virus wiped out 75% of the world's population, researcher Dr. Theo Ramsey is working with her team in Atlanta to develop a vaccine. The stakes are higher than she knows...

Created by Faith McQuinn, Apollyon's first season released at the end of 2021, when we were all still trying to grapple with the effects that the pandemic had had on our lives. It hit very hard then and it continues hitting hard.

I made a new bracelet specifically for this shoutout:

It's Black History Month

(Over here in the US of A) So here are some podcasts to check out.

Absolutely no Adventures - a fantasy (un)adventure story that follows Sig, the owner of Signature Eats bakery, as he aggressively avoids becoming embroiled in any daring quests or chosen one shenanigans even though the universe really seems to want him to do just that. This is a story about cutting Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey off at the knees to chill with friends and staying far, far away from the slightest whiff of adventure. And also baking. This is also a story about baking.

Afflicted - Lovecraft Country meets True Blood in this new series from award-winning producers Tonia Ransom and Jen Zink. In season one, a small East Texas town suffers supernatural disasters caused by a demonic book bound in human flesh…and only hoodoo can save the town from its affliction.

Apollyon - In the early 22nd century, the Apollyon virus wiped out 75% of the world’s population, and now most of the world is governed by the International Conglomerate of Research Scientists. Dr. Theo Ramsey is an ICRS research scientist who may have just discovered an effective vaccine for Apollyon, but the stakes to get the vaccine to the public are higher than she ever imagined.

Between Heartbeats - Tan immersive Urban Fantasy about the hurt, the powerful, and their growth within a broken world. We follow Sundiata, a guilt-ridden time manipulator with a knack for unemployment, and Nadia, a moralistic telepath determined not to lose control, as they balance frayed mental health against an unsympathetic police state. But when a malevolent presence rears is head, their neuroses become the least of their problems. Can our heroes make the most of their abilities before the option is taken from them?

Fan Wars: The Empire Claps Back - Two passionate Star Wars fans on opposite sides of the Last Jedi debate argue via Skype after their favorite forum closes down. If you love Star Wars (or call yourself a proud member of any fandom), you’ll love this romantic comedy told via

Janus Descending - a limited series, science fiction/horror audio drama podcast, follows the arrival of two xenoarcheologists on a small world orbiting a binary star. But what starts off as an expedition to survey the planet and the remains of a lost alien civilization, turns into a monstrous game of cat and mouse, as the two scientists are left to face the creatures that killed the planet in the first place.

Lady Lucy - Lady Lucy is an audio drama inspired by Shakespeare's "Dark Lady" Sonnets, 127-154. Between running her brothel, fighting the Church, murdering her friends' abusive husbands, and pretending to be a poet, the last thing Lucy needed back in 1586 was a surprise visit from her former flame... Will Shakespeare.

Liars and Leeches - Tonya Wright felt it all after the tragic murders of her sister and brother-in-law in a random act of gun violence. Struggling to travel outside of her home, she now lives constantly on edge about perceived threats that seem to surround her.

Nightlight - Multi-award winning horror podcast featuring creepy stories with full audio production written by Black writers and performed by Black actors. So scary it’ll make you want to leave your night light on.

Witchever Path - is an anthology series where your decisions effect the story. Our stories are based in America’s NorthEast, featuring characters finding themselves in the thick of the unknown while tackling issues like queer identity, gender, race, and spirituality. Stories often focus on the communities not typically seen in stories taking place in New England, and giving voice to the perspectives of those communities while uniting under some universal themes. And the supernatural happens. A lot.
