Episode 56: Ships and Showrunners. Elizabeth and Flourish talk to Lilah Vandenburgh, a long-time fan who is now a writer, director, and showrunner for film and television. They discuss how shipping culture has evolved in recent years, the pressures on showrunners and other entertainment pros to interact, and the ways that structural inequality shapes fan behavior. Also Elizabeth reports back with her review of Sean Stewart’s narrative game, “Sherlock Holmes: The Last Breath.” (transcript | show notes)

Fans + creators + shipping + activism = cooooomplicated dynamics. I’m so glad we got to talk to Lilah about this stuff! 

This is a really awesome episode! And like, the art changed, from when I saw it the first time? Before it was just a headshot. This is WAY better.
