In this episode I interview fanfiction writer Casuallyneurotic about her WIP Supernatural fic 'Maybe Sprout Wings.' She remembers discovering her first fanfiction on LiveJournal sites, posting her first House fic on FFN, what it was like participating in Supernatural fandom as a kid, and what she loves about the Castiel/Dean pairing. We discuss the controversial nature of Slavefic AU and ABO tropes, and themes of love, trust, choice, and healing in her fic. Casuallyneurotic talks about the surprising interactive reception to her fic and what it's been like working with an amazing beta reader. I share my own embarrassing writing fails, and Casuallyneurotic gives some great writing advice and encouragement for other writers. She shares some exciting developments for future MSW spinoffs and offers some insights into what we get to look forward to in future MSW chapters.
Thank you for coming on the show, Casuallyneurotic!

Really enjoying the podcast!! I loved and appreciated the conversation about the ethics of reading "morally reprehensible" tropes and topics. I think it is so important to be able to be creative, and create and appreciate content that many consider taboo. With all the cancel culture out there, or the "antis" on many media platforms, it was so refreshing to hear conversation with an obviously talented author and interviewer. Thank you for the episode!!
