    Welcome back to the Fic List Presents: Author’s Notes, an interview series where I chat with creative-type people about their experiences in and relationships to fandom and fan culture. New Year, New Episode! Please join me in welcoming #1 New York Times and #1 USA Today bestselling, Lambda Literary Award–winning author, TJ Klune, to the Author’s Notes airwaves!!! Do we discuss the deep and complex history of queer tragedy in art? Yes. Do we have a lot of feelings about the Stranger Things finale? Also yes. Because, you know, we contain multitudes and stuff. TJ’s new book, “We Burned So Bright,” is available for pre-order now! Visit tjklunebooks.com for more information, and you can find TJ’s other works at your local bookstore and your public library.

As always, special thanks to our supporters on ko-fi, especially our Friends of the Pod - Danielle, Rose, Liow, Ali, Cly, Dione, and Charlotte!

    Chapter 41 - What A F*cking Segue [Omegaverse]
    Jul 2 2025
    IT’S PRIDE Y’ALL Well, technically, it’s just after Pride month, but it’s never *not* Pride here at The Fic List Headquarters. And what else could we possibly choose for our grand return to the podcast but Omegaverse fic??? After all the panels we’ve done on the topic, it’s a shock even to us that we’ve never discussed it here before! So, here we are. Gather up your suppressants, make a nice lil den, and settle in for a delightful romp through some alpha/beta/omega gender-f*ckery. As always, special thanks to our supporters on ko-fi, especially our Friends of the Pod - Danielle, Rose, Liow, Ali, Dione, and new member Cly!
