Show Notes

+1! This week, Emily and V look at everyone's favorite fic format, the 5+1 fic. This humble story structure seems like it's always been a part of fandom, or just a part of human storytelling, but no! It all started with a little Clark/Lex story in Smallville fandom back in 2002, and boy, are we grateful. Come along with us as we talk about which fandoms grow these babies like lemons on trees, which stories have devastated us the most, and more Times than you can count.
