The Podcast - An Announcement

I don't know how many of the folks who will see this subscribe to our Supernatural podcast, but just in case I'm crossposting this here as well! The time we've had to spend on archiving other projects due to the tumblr ban has cut into our editing schedule, & unfortunately we won't be able to air part 2 of episode 2 tomorrow. We'll air a special Christmas episode next week & will return to our regular schedule on Jan 1!

a thought about the dS fanlore page

 I'd love to see something about the due South Fandom Renaissance on fanlore, but a) I haven't seen anyone use the term for a few years so I'm not sure if it's still something people talk about, b) I don't want to have to write it myself, and c) I would honestly feel pretty weird about writing an article about it, considering that all things said I have a pretty narrow perspective on this & that ultimately it's a pretty small part of a much larger dS/C6D fandom history. 

I want our more recent fandom history to be recorded, ultimately, though, & I guess that may mean putting on my big kid pants & getting the ball rolling myself. 

ETA: some highlights from my conversation about this with thisisteal elsewhere: 

• modern due South tumblr fandom was built on a foundation of catladyinwaiting & deputychairman & we feel they should be mentioned on the dS fanlore page in some capacity
•  key components of the dS fandom renaissance seem to be:
  • people who saw dS on TV as kids growing up & getting involved in fandom
  • tumblr's rise as a new fannish platform helping foster a resurgence of interest
  • folks such as Cat & Deputy helping to create a new fannish space around the show
• in particular, for me, due South's narrative about discovering who you are away from home & in a dramatically-different-yet-somehow-similar culture really spoke to me when I was in college, which is why I became interested in the show again, but I don't know how universal that experience would be
