Spoilers include Carlin and Katherine drooling over Aragorn (who smell like camp fires), figuring out how much swords weigh, and funny Utah baby names. For some fan fiction we love, read An Unexpected Addition by karategal (https://archiveofourown.org/works/626170/chapters/1130859)

Our fandom today is... Boruto's dad! (Yeah, Carlin went there.) That's right, we're reading Naruto fan fiction. Check out The Story of Norman Uchiha by NormanUchiha (https://m.fanfiction.net/s/12730467/1/The-Story-of-Norman-Uchiha) and read along with us. Spoilers include Uchiha family dance moves, seductive ear yelling, and ninja teleportation. Katherine also reveals she started a book tangentially about accounting. Carlin coaches her to use writing bloopers. What are writing bloopers? A great tip all you writers should all listen to and steal! For some good Naruto fan fiction this week, read Diplomatic Relations by Maldoror_Chant (https://archiveofourown.org/works/12631818/chapters/28782225?view_adult=true)

The genre that started them all... This week we delve back into fan fiction history by reading both Picard's Illumination (http://www.trekiverse.org/archive/2000/story/tng/PicardsIllumination), a fic from the Star Trek universe. Spoilers include a bizarrely good semi-colon, horses in space, and Romulan raspberry truffles. Carlin tries to speak Klingon. Katherine is weirdly knowledgeable about Jean Luc Picard's love life. Then we follow it up with Part Klingon,Part human by TFALokiwriter (https://m.fanfiction.net/s/11461099/1/Part-Klingon-Part-human) another Star Trek fic about... a wild space heist? We think? Ba-Ba-Blast!!! Spoilers include some bad audio on our part. Sorry guys, but we did warn you we're the worst. Our good fan fiction recommendation is Atlas by distractedKat (https://archiveofourown.org/works/652116/chapters/1187249)

Do we want to show our friends this podcast? We haven't decided yet! Meet Katherine Pomerantz, a fan fiction newbie. Her co-host, Carlin (just Carlin) is... not new to fan fiction...

This week we read avala balck's An American at Hogwarts (https://m.fanfiction.net/s/4211451/1/avala-black-An-American-at-Hogwarts). Spoilers include loving Ohio, getting off of trains, and speculating about Lily Potter's extramarital affairs. Katherine learns about Mary Sues. We all learn Carlin is the evil one. After the episode, we highly recommend everyone read some good fan fiction. Our recommendation this week is Pendulum Choice by Rushlight (http://slashcity.org/rushlight/hp/pendulum.htm)
