Calling all fandom journalists—both current and aspiring! As promised, we've put together a doc for pitching Fansplaining (which will temporarily become a written-only publication after Flourish's last episode next month). If you've got an idea that fits in with our general tone and approach, please send int our way!

We highlight these pieces in the doc, but in case folks are unaware that we're *currently* a written publication as well as a podcast, here's a sample of some of the stuff we've published over the years!

Also please note: we're v transparent about money here. We *deeply* appreciate our Patreon support, but we can't afford to pay a ton or publish super frequently with the current amount we take in. So if any generous folks are interested in sponsoring smart, substantive writing on fandom in the future, please get in touch. fansplaining at gmail dot com. :-))

Periods should come with some kind of psychic attack so I can like knock the phones out of hands of people who listen to loud videos in public and pop the tires of people with evil bumper stickers. I feel I'm owed that for the horrors

you're right. I was just so blinded by period headache induced murder thoughts I forgot about one of the most influential horror novels of the 20th century.

Watch Black Sails While Skipping Sexual Assault

A guide for people who want to watch Black Sails but want to skip scenes with sexual assault 

There are only two actual rape scenes, and they’re both brief and non graphic (once it’s very dark and from a distance, once it’s just heard) but I’ve also marked related scenes since YMMV. (Things get infinitely better for the character from episode 6 to the end of the show.) 

Spoilers, obviously, under the cut. 

So we ordered this hardcover Death (2022) by @neil-gaiman with art by Mike Dringenberg, John Totleben, Mark Buckingham, and Chris Bachalo for our favorite promoted reaper Billie (Lisa Berry) to sign at Creation Tour: New Jersey next month.

We'll be offering it as a raffle prize for our fundraiser for Undue Medical Debt [FKA RIP Medical Debt], fundraiser kicks off on April 25.

Thank you @kristina710 for the autograph 💚

Reblog if you’re a true 90s kid and you remember this tumblr

In retrospect it was high key insane that they had the activity feed embedded into your dash board like that

It’s why you never wanted a post to escape containment here. It literally made your dashboard unusable for days or longer, obscured by notifications that didn’t even stack. It was wild. I miss it.

If you guys were on here at 11 years old what would you be posting about

#you people would be learning facts about minor characters from the movie aliens you didn't even know had full names

Superwholock (+ guests) : Happy Birthday Doctor! - (2024)

"Hey, angel! Why are we even here? It's the fifth time we're celebrating the Doc's birthday this year! Being a time traveler, it doesn't even make sense anymore! He's so old, I'm sure he doesn't even remember how old he is anyway. And there are two of them today? Shall we celebrate this one's birthday too? How does this even WORK?

Can you behave for a minute? We are here because it's fun, because it's a great occasion to be together again, and because he's our FRIEND. We are enjoying ourselves!

Are we? I mean, is he going to regenerate and go PshHhiTt at the same time as the candles? *That* would be entertaining!"

The 6th script of 7 donated by Eric Kripke as a raffle prize for our final fundraiser for Undue Medical Debt [FKA RIP Medical Debt] is 6.22 "The Man Who Knew Too Much."

Our fundraising page and our raffle open on April 25, but you can preview all of the prizes here.

i miss you guys in a different life we were all organs in the same angel

I'm generally of the opinion that trying to resurrect prematurely cancelled shows is like necromancy—odds are they'll come back wrong.

Except for Galavant. Any Galavant revivial will be funnier the longer it stayed cancelled.

Tags pass peer review, etc, because they SO perfectly capture the spirit of the show.

[Image description: Screenshot of tags: #TRULY #galavant #the characters in the show wouldn't even believe they got a reboot #like 'are you sure? our ratings were shit #'no m'lord but you had cult appeal* #smash cut to a cult that resurrected the show with necromancy etc. Description end]

Contact Details

The majority of this Raffle will be happening through Twitter (the handle is destielaid) and the website. Transparently, I'm not often on Tumblr, and though I'll do my best to check the platform regularly, the most reliable way to get ahold of me will be via Twitter DM's or through the contact form on the website.

Lastly, a huge thank you to everyone already involved, those who will be involved, donors, and signal boosters. One of the things that most humbles me about this fandom is how we're able to come together and get shit done for a good cause. You all are amazing, and I am grateful for all of you <3
