Episode 21: Avatar - Tempest in a Teacup

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/01/25

The fanfic which answers the question that all Avatar fans were wondering - “what if Iroh adopted a seven year-old Katara?” Wait, that’s not the question. “What contortions of canon would be necessary to get Katara and Zuko to make out?” That sounds more like it.

Episode 20: Harry Potter - The Very Secret Diary

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/01/18

(TW: gaslighting, grooming, abuse) Lurking in the margins of Chamber of Secrets, a pretty “meh” book, is a pretty amazing fanfic. Special guest CJ returns to discuss innumerable pages of teen girl journaling and abusive relationships. Ginny Weasley proves to be a badass. Tom Riddle is very proud of his anagrams.

Episode 19: Star Wars - Fall of the Republic

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/01/11

An infamous fanfic which some Star Wars fans thought was a leaked treatment for Episode 3. Would we pay $15 for this in 1977 money? What’s cooler, using the Force to blast someone with lightning, or using the Force to run an evil-sorcery school on another planet? And is a Merchanter’s Guild less boring than a Trade Federation?

Episode 18: Pokémon - Pokémon Master

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2019/01/04

(TW: sexual assault) Pikachu burrows into an evil sentient Rock Pokémon’s body and makes it explode to death. That’s in chapter 1. Obviously, we’re in for quite a ride. Luckily, former Pokémon fanfic writer Taran is here to help keep us on-track. Link to the story: bit.ly/rfrmaster Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good.

Episode 17: Back to the Future - A Stitch in Time

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2018/12/28

Great Scott! Special guest Serena joins us to discuss a Back to the Future fanfic. Is any time travel actually involved? Is the antagonist of this fanfic also the main character? How incestuous is the McFly family, exactly? How will sewing machines play into all this?

Episode 16: TMNT - Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Turtles

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2018/12/21

It’s our Christmas episode, and nothing says “Christmas” like heated, bitter arguments between family members with different beliefs. Try to guess which Turtle converts to Lutheranism. Then try to guess which Turtle is a total asshole about it. (That one’s Raph. Obviously it’s Raph.)

Episode 15: Power Rangers - Loss of Innocents

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2018/12/14

Jason the Red Ranger must come to terms with the fact that he and his friends kill sentient beings, like, all the frigging time. Who are the REAL monsters here? Probably the heartless capitalists at Saban. And maybe also the Pumpkin Rapper. bit.ly/rfrloss Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good. Sometimes they are right.

Episode 14: Sailor Moon - Chris Davies’s Raye Trilogy

Tuxedo Mask falls off a tree branch and almost dooms the world. bit.ly/rfrraye Check out our website at bit.ly/retrofanfic and send us emails at RetroFanficRetrospective@gmail.com

Episode 13: Star Wars - Father’s Heart

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2018/11/30

Special guest CJ replaces Amado to talk about wars in the stars. Young Princess Leia bonds with Lord Vader, who is as cuddly as a superpowered murder fascist can be. If you think this will end in death and betrayal, you are familiar with Darth Vader. bit.ly/rfrfathersheart Check out our website at bit.ly/retrofanfic and send us emails at RetroFanficRetrospective@gmail.com

We delve deep into the primordial soup of slash fanfiction. McCoy gets sick of Kirk and Spock’s shit and fixes their relationship for them, which sounds about right. Spock is saved from tiny bears.

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2018/10/23

NERV must harness half-understood occult knowledge to battle a series of blasphemous alien demigods and preserve the fate of humanity in the face of a vast, indifferent cosmos.

RFR Special Episode: Ranma - Darkness and Light

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2018/10/13

Microsoft hates us so it deleted our backlog of episodes. In place of our regularly scheduled episode, enjoy this pilot episode. (TW: sexual exploitation of minors) Ranma seizes the moral high ground. The light of Christ inspires Ukyo. Genma is an even worse father than he was in canon, in the darkest way possible. Tory gets very excited about a bite. Check out our website at bit.ly/retrofanfic and send us emails at RetroFanficRetrospective@gmail.com

Episode 7: Utena - Jon Carp’s Short Utena Fanfics

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2018/10/04

I wonder, I wonder, do you know what I wonder? Amado and Tory struggle to stay on topic and not just talk about Revolutionary Girl Utena for an hour. “Exit, Pursued by a Bear” speaks to the community theater actor in Dom. “Other People” half charms Amado. Nobody likes “Hung Juri.” Sorry, Juri. bit.ly/rfrjoncarputena Check out our website at bit.ly/retrofanfic and send us emails at RetroFanficRetrospective@gmail.com

In the first novel in Twoflower’s Slayers Trilogy, the protagonists must look within themselves and face their flaws. One might say they spend a lot of time… REFLECTING? And we do.

Episode 5: Digimon - It Was My Youth

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2018/09/21

Our first attempt at a Digimon fanfic features lots of talking, inconclusive flirting between Mimi and Joe, and no Digimon whatsoever. BlackWarTorymon is not pleased. bit.ly/rfrmyyouth Check out our website at bit.ly/retrofanfic and send us emails at RetroFanficRetrospective@gmail.com

Episode 4: Star Trek/Sailor Moon - A Borg to Remember

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2018/09/14

We tackle a fanfic that reads like a very serviceable episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, but with more Sailor Scouts and less Wesley Crusher. We’ll take that trade. bit.ly/rfrsailortrek Check out our website at bit.ly/retrofanfic and send us emails at RetroFanficRetrospective@gmail.com
