Episode 41: Buffy - Phoenix Burning

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/06/17

In this classic fan novel, Buffy is brought back to life in a vampire-infested post-apocalyptic dystopia, with significantly fewer musical numbers than in canon. Slayers avoid the inverse ninja rule. The only thing that hasn’t changed in 350 years is sexual tension. Link to the story: bit.ly/rfrphoenix Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good. Sometimes they are right.

Episode 40: Evangelion - ReDeath

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/06/10

Special guest Gaelan returns to watch a defining piece of comedy from the 2000s anime convention circuit, and try to find things to say about it. I guess pimps as a concept were funny back then or something? On the other hand, personal intro music will be funny forever.

Episode 39: Harry Potter - Harmless and Easily...

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/06/03

Actual Harry Potter fan Emily joins us poseurs to discuss a breezy fanfic filled with fantastic creatures that Hagrid finds boring. Harry is officially dangerous. Hermione is a savant of bureaucracy. Hogwarts’ teaching staff have dubious teaching qualifications and minimal oversight.

Episode 38: Legend of Zelda - Reflections 1 and 2

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/05/27

Special guest Taran returns to help us navigate Ganondorf’s anti-imperialist manifesto. Ganon, the Hylians, and the Goddesses are all assholes, but at least the Oracles are cool people I guess. Problems are resolved by hacking at them with a sword. To everyone’s relief, author Uncle Pervy fails to live up to his name.

Episode 37: Xena - Tropical Storm

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/05/20

If Xena is a professional computer nerd in modern day Miami, is it still a Xena fanfic? We struggle with the fundamental assumptions of our show while waiting to see if anybody gets decapitated by a Chakram.

Episode 36: Lord of the Rings - The Jewel of Brandy Hall

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/05/13

We all get deja vu as special guest CJ returns to discuss a father/daughter story by Fernwithy. In stark defiance of the entropic principle, people sail to the East FROM Valinor. Hobbit ages are confusing. Merry is the kind of friend who will call you out on your shit. Link to the story: bit.ly/rfrjewel Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good.

Episode 35: Daria - The Driven Wild Universe,...

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/05/06

Back in the day, Daria fans didn't have enough Daria, so they had to make their own Daria. Special guest Serena fills in for the still-traveling Dom to discuss the first two episodes of a classic fan-written season. Glasses and whether to wear them are a very big deal. Daria's one (1) cool relative comes to the fore. Tory does an unprecedented amount of preparation. Link to the story: bit.ly/rfrwild Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good.

Episode 34: Asimov's Robot Series - C/Fe

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/04/29

Special guest Joel joins us to discuss this immediate sequel to The Robots of Dawn that features even more frank discussion of sex with robots. We figure that Isaac Asimov would probably be cool with that. Beverly Cleary, however, would disapprove of this whole enterprise.

Episode 33: Dragon Ball Z - Dragon Ball Super Z...

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/04/22

In Trunks's post-apocalyptic future, Androids are like cockroaches - you just can't get rid of them for good. We discuss how the position of God is outsourced to foreign labor, and Tory tries to convince us that the muscles in Dragonball are really metaphorical, to limited success. The amount of fan Japanese almost does us all in, but we try to gaman. Link to the story: bit.ly/rfrsuperz Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good. Sometimes they are right.

Episode 32: Batman - Cat Tales

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/04/15

Special guest CJ returns to sample a bit of Cat Tales, a sprawling fanwork that manages to win us over despite none of us having any investment whatsoever in Catwoman and Batman making out. Alfred is the best human being. We avoid making any DuckTales jokes until the very end. Be proud of us.

Episode 31: Digimon - The Connection, Level 1: Worlds

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/04/08

Amado is away this week, but special guest Chris joins Dom and Tory to complain that their assigned Digimon fanfiction doesn't have enough Digimon in it. They struggle to stay on-topic, just like the DigiDestined's endless fight to keep Daemon contained. Takato makes poor life choices. Everyone is fictional to each other and it's just as confusing to them as it is to us. Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good. Sometimes they are right.

Episode 30: Steven Universe - Diamonds are Forever

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/04/01

On this early April episode of Cutting Edge Fanfic Deep-cut, we discuss a brand new fanfic just like we always do. Steven is going through that time of life when you start to grow very quickly, turn pink, and generally start to look like your mom. For some reason he finds this distressing.

Episode 29: Muppets/Ranma - The Muppet Show Tribute...

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/03/25

Ryouga wanders into the Muppet Show and ends up hogging the spotlight. He doesn’t like it at first, but eventually stop swineing. The rest of the Muppets ham it up at usual. We agree that the fanfic isn’t a boar. Link to the story: bit.ly/rfrmuppets Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good. Sometimes they are right. Sometimes they are not.

Episode 28: Gargoyles - The Gargoyles Saga

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/03/18

Back in 1997, a bunch of fans got together and attempted to write a better third season than the Goliath Chronicles. Apparently this is not a high bar. Special guest CJ joins us in our exploration of the first few episodes, and to discuss how great a villain Demona is. Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good.

Episode 27: Sonic the Hedgehog - Bloodlines

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/03/11

Taran the Human joins us remotely to talk about the history of Mobius and its royal family, and also some blue hedgehog who runs fast or whatever. Antoine's knowledge of heraldry becomes plot relevant. Bunnie learns the secret of fighting SWATbots. We are caught off-guard by the truly offensive twist ending.

Episode 26: Sailor Moon - Mako-chan’s Happy Ending

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/03/04

(TW: domestic abuse) Old-school Sailor Moon fanfiction, courtesy of old-school Sailor Moon fan Jet Wolf. For being generally awesome, Makoto is granted a wish by the most immensely-helpful wish-granting fairy ever. Surely nothing can go wrong.

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/02/25

Legolas and Gimli go on a spelunking trip, if you know what I mean. Then they go gaze upon a beautiful wood, if you get my gist. Gimli is not sure Legolas gets the gist.

Episode 24: Care Bears - Rise and Fall

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/02/18

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we look back on these paramilitary guardians of feelings. How will they cope with the arrival of a long-lost, magic-using member of their family? Probably with love and caring. (Except for Share Bear. What is your problem, Share Bear?) Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good. Sometimes they are right.

Episode 23: Final Fantasy Tactics - Delita, the King...

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/02/11

We lure special guest Gaelan onto the show with two Final Fantasy Tactics stories, each of which earned their authors cold, hard cash. Delita gets stabbed more than once. Facing down a JRPG protagonist in combat is a terrifying prospect. Links to the stories: bit.ly/rfrtactics1 and bit.ly/rfrtactics2 Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good.

Episode 22: Gundam Wing - Anatexis

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/02/04

We get in deep over our heads trying to untangle the plot threads in this alternate ending to Endless Waltz. In response, we deploy our secretly-developed weapon, special guest Chris. (Overuse of Chris may drive the user insane.) Link to the story: bit.ly/rfrwing Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good. Sometimes they are right. Sometimes they are not.
