Episode 77: FF8 - Story

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/03/23

Special guest Chris joins us to take a trip down memory lane with Zell, in this post-series FFVIII fanfic. Somehow the game made being a child mercenary seem more glamorous than it really is. But at least Zell got some good stories out of it, that he'll keep locked up deep inside and never share with another living soul. How about some fairy tales, instead?

Episode 76: New Mutants - Kid Dynamo, Chapters 7-12

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/03/16

CJ isn’t the only special guest this week, as Loki, X-Factor, Power Pack, and more pop in to finish Jessica Pierce’s story in the second half of Kid Dynamo. Magik is incredibly useful all the time. Apocalypse has some very on-the-nose Horsemen. The epilogue is more upsetting than Harry Potter’s. Link to the story: bit.ly/rfrdynamo Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good.

Episode 75: New Mutants - Kid Dynamo, Chapters 1-6

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/03/09

Special guest CJ returns to discuss the first part of Kid Dynamo. Since it’s set firmly in late-1980s Marvel comics continuity, this is slightly disorienting. Luckily, teenage telekinetic fireproof mutant runaway Jessica Pierce is just as new to things as we are! Stevie and Magneto go on a date. Jessica is vegetarian for a very good reason. We get very excited about Mutant Prom. Link to the story: bit.ly/rfrdynamo Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good. Sometimes they

Episode 74: Avatar - Brothers in Arms

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/03/02

Amado throws Dom a bone and reaches into the near past of 2007 to discuss an Avatar fanfic. Zuko and Sokka have a buddy road-trip adventure in escaping from the capitol and trying to reunite with the Avatar. Iroh makes friends with everyone. We all agree that The Beach was a really good episode. Link to the story: bit.ly/rfrbrothers Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good. Sometimes they are right.

Episode 73: Star Wars - Troops

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/02/24

We take a break from reading works to enjoy (?) some peacekeeping brutality in this classic fan film. The dialogue and the scenery are spot-on. Beru and Owen meet an ignominious fate. We get distracted and ramble about roleplaying Disney villains. Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good. Sometimes they are right. Sometimes they are not.

RFR Special Episode: Utena - Miracles Never Cease...

Finally the game is concluded. All it took was hard work, consulting hints online, and the sacrifice of Tory’s moral compass. And also a little pole-vaulting.

Episode 72: Xena - The Dragon's Child

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/02/10

For the first time, we read a Xena: Warrior Princess fanfic that features Xena: Warrior Princess. It's equal parts detailed exploration of Xena and Gabrielle's sex life; Xena killing fools; and fairy tales about dragons. The dragons are, again, metaphors.

Episode 71: Anne of Green Gables - A Little Romance

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/02/03

We introduce special guest Ashley to the infinite possibilities of transformative fiction, in this shocking and revolutionary story where… Gilbert Blythe sweetly courts Anne Shirley. It’s very Hallmark Channel. Gilbert bounces between being a nice guy, and being a Nice Guy (TM). Anne is a badass at childcare. Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good.

Episode 70: King’s Quest - King’s Quest ZZT

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/01/27

Prince Alexander takes up his father Graham’s adventuring hat in this early fangame offering by Interactive Fantasies. Is the crude ZZT game engine capable of capturing the humor and charm of the beloved King’s Quest series? Absolutely! Does this game actually do so? Well… that’s another story.

Episode 69: Dungeons & Dragons - Trial By Existence

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/01/20

(TW: rape) Amado wanted to read something by astolat, so obviously he skipped right over every popular fandom she’s ever written for and went straight for the D&D cartoon fanfiction. We cheer for Eric (or is that Hank?), and definitely do not cheer for Venger/Sheila. The characters fail at powergaming. Dungeon Master pulls a Luke Skywalker eighteen years before Luke Skywalker does. Link to the story: bit.ly/rfrtrial Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good. Sometimes they

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/01/13

It's a new co-host in a very old fanfic, as special guest Julia joins us on a pleasant return tour through Wonderland. Fanfiction prefaces haven't changed much in 125 years. The dream-like atmosphere is rather literally dream-like. The Walrus and the Carpenter get what's coming to them, for a hot second.

Episode 67: Pokemon - What Legends are Made Of

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/01/06

Ringing in 2020, special guest Taran returns to discuss WLAMO, the Pokemon epic that he wrote as a young teen. It’s pretty much like the Pokemon anime, except that Ash is mature, strong, smart, talented, courteous, polite, kind, humble, and completely unbearable. And also a Saiyan; let’s just put that out there up front. Pikachu is part of a divine plan. A secret second guest author is revealed.

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/12/23

Post-breakup, the former Beatles are pulled back together for a magical adventure series of unpleasant experiences that will reforge their bonds and make them stronger people traumatize them, mostly. John takes his brand-new wings and learns to fly. Omnipotent alien sophomores should have known better.

While Amado is away Tory and Dom watch and then immediately discuss the first four episodes of Steven Universe Future. Hands can somehow still look good without wrists. Dom can't help but say Steven's full name every time. Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good. Sometimes they are right. Sometimes they are not.

Episode 65: Utena - Ever After

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/12/09

Empty Movement webmasters Yasha and Vanna join us from the surreal, timeless realm of Canada, giving us a critical mass of diehard Revolutionary Girl Utena fans. The expected digressions ensue. Also, we read a fanfic where Saionji experiences gender dysphoria, sleeps with Touga, and slays a dragon. The dragon is a metaphor. The dysphoria is all too real.

Episode 64: Lord of the Rings - The Very Secret Diaries

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/12/02

We flash back to our teenage selves as we read Cassandra Claire’s oddly-intricate chronicle of interlocking sex jokes. Hobbits and pervy hobbit-fanciers abound. Aragorn’s bathing situation is a matter of high import. The mystery of Gandalf’s pointy hat trick remains impenetrable.

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/11/25

Han Solo is put through the wringer as the Rebellion tries to root out a remaining pocket of Imperial resistance. Clones have a rough life. Chewbacca almost definitely wouldn’t pull your arms from their sockets. Amado becomes a fan of the new Sith on the block.

2019/11/18

Janine and Egon are recruited by three ex-Rangers to investigate the many mysterious goings-on in Angel Grove: giant monsters, mystical power grids, renegade demigoddesses, and the fact that the most popular teen hangout spot is a juice bar. Scorpina channels Lum. All glasses-wearing nerds are related. Tommy is in the center of a love triangle and nobody asks his opinion about it.

Episode 61: Star Trek - Mind-Sifter

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/11/11

It’s a fanfic just like Grandma Trek used to make, as we delve into the uncut and unedited Mind-Sifter. Kirk is thrown back in time, traumatized and amnesiac. But don’t you worry, he still manages to mack on women. Spock and Bones go head-to-head. Chekov is at the center of everything for some reason.
