to see a fairy: a kaleidotrope drabble zine

i wrote this drabble, and since it was only a 100 words, being a drabble, i decided to turn it into a zine!

if you don't know the fandom, this is a fanfic for a fiction podcast called kaleidotrope, it's only 10 episodes and "a queer fannish romcom" and takes place on a maybe magical college campus where fanfic tropes happen for real. or do they...

it's also implied magic is real besides the trope magic that's maybe real, and i think that's the case and this is canon compliant

I’ve been really enjoying people discovering Joshua Ilon’s Kaleidotrope appearance recently and then I was thinking about how writing threesomes where they all had the same pronouns used to be so difficult and then I got wondering if I’d gotten any better at that and then smut happened oops. Did I do Space Dude dirty in this? Come talk to me about Space Dude and maybe I’ll be nicer

I know, i know. the podcast tags are filled to the brim with recommendation requests (rec-reqs!) and im about to add mine to the pile. but bear with me bc its a bit different-- I want FINSIHED podcasts please !!! i dont mind if its long or short and sweet, I want completed stories with completed character arcs and closed endings pretty pretty please

I am consuming podcasts at a worrying rate and I've resorted to relistening to my old favorites bc my current favorites are still ongoing. and i want to binge!! i hate having the story live in my brain for months/years while waiting for the ending.

more info under the cut

for context, my fav podcasts:

wolf 359 (!!!), wtnv, tma, red valley (just caught up), woe.begone, mabel, time:bombs, alice isnt dead

--

ive also listened to (but havent finished):

eos 10, within the wires, malevolent, the black tapes, wooden overcoats, the bright sessions, old gods of appalachia, kaleidotrope, the penumbra pod, the orbitting human circus, the strange case of starship iris

--

some pods im aware of but havent seen/looked up yet:

ars paradoxica, zero hours, i am in eskew, limetown, archive 81, camp here and there, hello from the hallowoods, stellar firma, find us alive, the white vault, the sheridan tapes, the silt verses, the amelia project

--

PS. as a rule, please dont recommend me any actual play or rpg like adventure zone, rqgaming, etc... and dont rec anything ONLY because it has queer rep. dont get me wrong i love the rep! but i want a good story first and foremost!

Drew in E7: I was worried you were going to kill yourself on this thing and I would have to broadcast from the sockhop by myself, and that wasn’t going to happen

Me, listening for the third time this week:

[adrie-75014]

crying at every single audio drama because queer love stories like this weren’t available to me when I was young and I’m just SO happy for the current generation and so grateful for these creators.

(also, fuck the rightwing fuckheads on your school boards!! we’ll beat ‘em back, I promise. if the adults in your life don’t support you, know that I do and every single person in my life does too)

[viceocitypod]

hey you! yes you! do you enjoy podcasts like the wolf 359, old gods of appalachia, cabinet of curiosities, or any audio drama? are you always searching for more canon lgbtq+ rep in your podcasts? do you enjoy the dynamic in kaleidotrope? or do you just need another podcast to fill the void in your heart after the magnus archives ends?

if you answered yes to any of these questions, you might enjoy viceocity!!

coming soon to wherever you get your podcasts!

[lentlilylistens]

Hii could you rec some feel good pods

Oh boy do I have the recs for you B)

Chill adventures:

Absolutely No Adventures (@noadventurespod) is a fantasy podcast about a guy who’s the chosen one for about every story ever. He also owns a bakery!

The Adventures of Sir Rodney the Root (@sirrodneytheroot) is a fantasy podcast about a knight and his eclectic travel companions who are on a bizarre quest. It’s fun! Low-stakes adventure vibes

Romance:

Keep It Steady (@keepitsteadypod) is set in 2005, about two polar-opposite high schoolers who pretend to date to take the heat off two girls who are actually dating (fun fact: It’s an adaptation of World Ain’t Ready, which I discovered after listening to the pilot and got me knee-deep into the Les Mis fandom lol. Both the podcast and fic are amazing)

Kaleidotrope (@kaleidotropepodcast) is about a uni where students keep getting together in very trope-y ways (except for the radio show co-hosts… huh…… strange………. wink wink)

Misc:

Mount Olympus University (@mountolympusuniversity) is a radio show by Pandora, the only human at a university full of figures from Greek mythology. Big recommend for my fellow PJO kids

Qwerpline is like Night Vale on acid (and with two hosts). It’s funny! It’s quirky! There’s a guy in a helicopter that makes me CACKLE every single time!

Happy listening! :)

[roseunspindle]

This is such a cute pod cast, check it out!

[litners-lending-library]

absolutely obsessed with Harrison Kaleidotrope. he shows up late to his first day on the show, bullies his cohost into eating the samoas he brought, immediately launches into cutting banter as if he’s been doing it for years, sings his deejay name at the top of his lungs, demands they do voices while reading texts (and succeeds in getting drew to do them), cries about gossip girl, comes out, invents a new name for their audience, gets very heated over the ethics of humpty dumpty, AND THIS IS JUST THE FIRST HALF OF THE FIRST EPISODE

[boyfriendyke]

putting my list in the tags

hello podcast fans! please reblog this post with a list of every fiction podcast you listen to (if you can come back and reblog directly from me, that’ll keep the post from getting too long and cluttering up people’s dash too)

i’m doing a project (a thesis! that’s terrifying!) about fiction podcasts and while i’m trying to set reasonable expectations for how many podcasts i can include, i also want to have a big pool to choose from in case i end up having more time than expected or i just go real fast lol

[mixedscholarlybag]

TAZ, TMA, The Bright Sessions, Kaleidotrope for the audio drama ask meme?

The Adventure Zone: Do you prefer comedy or drama podcasts?

I used to not have a preference and I still don’t I guess per se but also I have been doing pretty much exclusively comedy for the past while because of uh The Brain (the obvious exception being TMA but the special interest she gonna special interest)

TMA: already answered for the Void

The Bright Sessions: What do you think about Musical Specials?

Yes good I don’t even care if there’s an in universe explanation I unabashedly love them

Kaleidotrope: Do you have a ‘comfort podcast’?

Queer as Fact which I know isn’t an audio drama so hm. Most of my comfort pods are non fiction. WTNV? TAH? Haven’t actually listened to either in a while tho lol OH i know Love & Luck
