For our one-year anniversary, we indulge our theater-loving, literature nerd selves and dive into absurdism. Could Tom Stoppard’s renowned play actually be… fanfiction? Yes, obviously it is, but we discuss all the angles of that question before meandering through the text of the play in search of direction or meaning. It is an acceptable diversion on the road to our inevitable, incomprehensible deaths.

Our first Fan-Q Award winner, from fandom stalwart Deb Walsh. Could it be that Fox Mulder’s sister… was abducted by aliens, exactly as it appeared that she was? The only way to be sure is to return to Mulder’s home island of Martha’s Vinyard, eat chicken pot pie, and forensically analyse an extremely grody old pillowcase.

A glasses switcheroo leads into a time-travelling adventure that aims to explain various oddities of the Smurfs setting. We go off on tangents musing about Smurf spores and whether the entire population of Smurf village are Squibs. The author wins a bet against their sibling, thus averting the Great Smurf Wars.

Urusei Yatsura turns into deadly serious political intrigue in this novel from the dawn of the internet age. Tory is surprised to learn that the source material does not address Lum’s culpability as an imperialist, enslaving warmonger. Everyone gets a heterosexual romantic partner, up to and including Megane. The answer to the question of the title is “no.”

We return to Sailor Moon with a fanfic based on Sailor Stars, the most high school shenanigan-y season of the show. Minako and Yaten are a miracle romance, as in it’s a miracle that Yaten puts up with the company of any other sentient being. Shakespeare is quoted liberally. Usagi and Seiya explain to their friends what a donut is.

Despite harrowing technical difficulties, MSTing archivist Yesmar joins us to discuss Adam Cadre’s treatment of Jim Theis’s infamously blundering Conan pastiche. “Crimson droplets of escaping life fluid” flow freely. Wenches are an excellent source of exposition. The riffer’s major challenge is choosing what NOT to make fun of.

In trying to carry a rancor to Tatooine, which will become more wasted: the interior of the Millenium Falcon, or our protagonists, from all the space booze they're drinking?

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.

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.

In Trunks's post-apocalyptic future, Androids are like cockroaches - you just can't get rid of them for good.

The amount of fan Japanese almost does us all in, but we try to gaman.

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.
