Lin Codega, Rowan Zeoli, and Chase Carter are launching their own independent TTRPG journalism site. I am SO thrilled these folks are going to take a stab at earnest, genuine RPG coverage that's not hampered by corporate interests. Please check out Rascal News!

(ask is from a few days ago)

"Please keep this anon if you decide to post as this is more of a rant, but yet another fan (they’re a journalist as well but mostly a fan) was rewarded with a “random” opportunity to become a writer’s assistant for season 3 today. Idk much about them beyond fandom saying they’re trans and they’re a Devil’s Minion shipper/Daniel stan, so here we go again with yet another white person that’ll be allowed near Jacob and Delainey while giving zero fucks about them. But Naomi had to lose her podcast right? It’s all so tiring."

^^ those last tweets are deleted now, it seems (here's a post with the full thread from the time).

I looked into this person myself after getting this ask (my screenshots are below). It's someone who has talked about racial issues before (with DnD and that LotR show, I think??) but....never tweeted about it wrt IWTV, which is insane. Their article for the show that's mentioned in the tweets below also glosses over it in favor of focusing on queerness only. Their novel is about a white witch when it seems like it should prbly be an indigenous story?? I got the feeling this is someone who feels they're doing everything "right" wrt not being racist, but ends up not doing much at all bcuz they're too afraid to step outside a certain comfort zone about it and kinda feels like it's not their fight deep down. Their story about how they got hired too (under the cut) is also the most white privileged thing I've ever read. There's so many ppl in this fandom for the show to pick from if they want to include fandom ppl, yet most ppl picked / named are white ppl who are clueless about the majority of racial themes in the show or fans of color who align with white fandom ideals and won't rock the boat at all about racial things otherwise either. Like u said, we all know what happened with Naomi and the podcast by comparison.

idk. first impression anyway. looking forward to the anons I will get for posting this and calling me a bitch idiot for not being "nicer" and "ruining" fandom for ppl. whatever lol.

if this were me, I'd never have publicly announced this tbh. I get that it's a job account but idk how u can have a history interacting with the iwtv fandom and think this is gonna go well for u once u upgrade to getting a job. wouldn't fucking be me.

An article by Lin Codega just came out that I helped contribute to by way of contacting her and letting her know my personal feelings as she wanted to hear from the Izzy Canyon. This is so beautifully written. Justice for Izzy!!!

They still need to release those interviews, WHY ARE THEY GATEKEEPING IT

via leiselbt and samchilles

edit: lesbiampirism just informed me that the 1st photo is from an interview with Lin Codega for Gizmodo and i found that the 2nd is from Hollywood Branded (TV Guide Magazine and TVInsider)

edit2: More about the 1st photo

Link of the photo and article (unfortunately don’t seem to have any interview or video)

They said they didn’t record but i also didn’t saw any transcripts of the interview so i will try to ask for it even tho they said they don’t work for io9 anymore

But probably not bc it seems “off the record” means that what was said cannot be published. Kinda weird that if you ask me bc they was there to promote the show so why cannot be published?

The only videos io9 posted are this ones (x) (x) (x) that are not from the same set bc in the photo they are sitted in separate couches and in those 3 videos they are sitted next to each other.

[savagewilderness]

How lovely is this, posted by Lin Codega on instagram. Apparently a fan sent it in. 🥰

Good job I don’t know the address of the writers room. I’d be posting in cake with a circle of charred stakes and written in icing “Don’t forget The Witches’ Place!” 😂🤣😂🤣😂.

I jest… but in all jests lies the needle of desire! 😂😇💀🔥

[nalyra-dreaming]

Since Lin Codega said it's too early for the writers to write actual scripts, people are now convinced we won't get a late 2025 release. If the rumor about production starting on 11/30/2024 is true, it means they would have at least two months to write some scenes. Do you think there is still hope for 2025?

Yes… iirc the last writing rooms were only a few months as well. And Sam said s1 started filming with only 3(?) scripts ready.

In any case I wished people would always stop jumping into panic mode.

[monsterfactoryfanfic]

Games journalism is a fucking road to Golgatha. Lin Codega deserved better. Renata Price deserved better. Jenna Steober deserved better. Ashley Oh deserved better. I could go on and on and on and it wouldn’t come close to bearing witness to the hundreds of brilliant people who were shafted by a wretched industry

[ca-suffit]

Do people know that writers assistants don’t write anything? The most that person will do is to photocopy stuff.

Ppl know that, but it's still the fact they wanted so much special attention for this, the way they got the job, and now showing how much disdain they feel for the fandom on serious topics. I guess real journalists only care about Daniel Molloy's sex life. It's all such a joke.

[bitchywillgraham]

The iwtv fandom has become way too comfortable with how they talk about (and to!) the cast/crew of the show.

The way people were recently speaking to Lin Codega (a trans person) who works in the writer's room was disgusting. The way people have been discrediting Jacob's opinions and feelings about his character by saying he's not allowed to speak on his own character (!!). The way people were asking Jacob in his recent tweet if he let Sam fuck him. The weird ass questions that people asked Sam in preparation for that Michael Lucas interview. The way people have talked in a negative and gross way about the cast aging, specifically Assad and Sam. The uncomfortable comparisons between Delainey and Bailey. The gross colorist comments about Jacob, Delainey, and Bailey. The pervasive transphobic/terf rhetoric (e.g. saying someone with a body/face like Sam could never be a trans woman. How tf do you think the trans people in this fandom feel!? This is terf rhetoric!!) when talking about the cast's appearance. The constant Sam hate and lies (people have literally called him an abuser because of the character he plays!!) and now the literal stalker behavior with trying to look into his family tree because they hate him. Fucking psychotic. And the way people speak about/to the people that get close to the show like Autumn Brown interviewing the cast/crew. The list goes on and on and on.

This cast/crew deserves better than this fuckass fandom.

GO BACK IT!! it's gonna be written by alex rybitski, @carrionxcomfort (wes franks), lin codega, and myself!!

[4th-make-quail]

I don't understand why some people can't even entertain the possibility of Eric being not 100% straight when we have stuff like:

The young Daniel Molloy who we see in the show isn't that different from the young Eric Bogosian hitting New York in the mid 70s and also on one level kind of is willing to do anything, take anything, walk in any door -- I was always up for-- different stuff.

from the RT interview or

Much like Jones took the clear gay subtext of the books and made it explicit, the unreliability of Louis’ narration was always there to begin with. “Rolin takes the things in the books and presses them in higher relief,” Bogosian explained, before immediately diving into the queer layering without any prompting from me whatsoever. “The part that’s very interesting to me is Molloy. His subtext is there, but you can barely see the outlines of it in the original writing.” Bogosian compared the journey that this character goes on—recontextualizing and questioning his own experiences as a young journalist—to his own journey. “I’m at that point in my life where I am intrigued by my younger self. What the fuck did I think I was doing in 1975? That’s when I got to New York, and there were a lot of adventures to be had. There were a lot of seedy places just like that San Francisco scene in the book.” Bogosian was on a tear at this point, and I was just along for the ride. “I didn’t give a shit. I didn’t care if it was a gay club or a straight club. I didn’t care if it was heroin, cocaine, or what the hell it was. I just wanted to try everything out.”

From Lin Codega interview https://gizmodo.com/interview-with-the-vampire-eric-bogosian-assad-zaman-1849792499

YEAH honestly, I feel much the same about this!! I don't like speculating about people's sexualities and personal lives so much, but I can say I'd honestly be shocked if Eric isn't queer of some variety.

remember when lin codega did this

what a legend
