Dead Dove

Welcome to our first Debate Club episode! Way back when, Georgie and Matt had this discussion/argument...and that is how Dead Dove was born. Now, we bring the debate to you...what do you think?

Merry Dead Dove! Georgie and Matt are here with a little gift for you lovely listeners - two lil fanfics we have written just for you this festive season! Enjoy, and we will see you next year x

Georgie and Matt look at how fanfiction, like any art, can be used as a tool for healing and expression, even when we might not realise it. Also, Link from the Legend of Zelda gets an egg-shaped surprise...

It's Language!time at Dead Dove, as Georgie and Matt explore the connection between fanfiction and language - how we use it, how we write it, and how we change it.

In the first of our "Hall of Fame" episodes, Georgie and Matt explore the heavy hitters of the fanfic world. So, where better to start than the Omegaverse?

Georgie and Matt are back! Get your chains and whips ready for the first episode of the new season as we explore the sacred fanfic tradition of Kinktober, writing challenges, and flex out drabble muscles...

We know you've been waiting, but Georgie and Matt are back! Welcome to Season 2, where we will get (even more) deep and weird...we can't wait!

Goodbye, Harvard! It's time for the Season 1 finale! Georgie puts Matt to the ultimate test with a Season 1 quiz, and we reflect on how far we have come, what we have learned, and how we have changed...

It's time! Here's a sneaky little bonus episode in honour of the AO3 top 100 list coming out (you know the drill by now - Georgie gets excited and talks anime at the long suffering Matt).

In this episode, Georgie and Matt cast a wide and filthy net - from Matt's famous canonical fanart to his newfound "relationship" with Georgie's favourite anime character, it's time to see what else fandom has to offer besides the written word...

This week, Matt and Georgie get into the history of the greatest archive of our time - AO3. From its creation to its Hugo award win (and its recent takedown issues), it's time to talk about the best there is.

This episode gets really real, real quick as Georgie and Matt explore the concept of RPF, or Real People Fic (and Matt gets sold to One Direction for drug money). This episode contains sexual content and themes - viewer discretion is advised. **Sorry about any phone interference you might hear on this one, folks! Blame Matt, definitely not Georgie**

Georgie and Matt head into Y/N's world to uncover the ins and outs of self-insert or reader-insert fanfiction, and Matt comes to us with a book report of his latest fanfiction obsession...

In this universe, Georgie and Matt drop everything to explore the others. From coffee shops to fix-it fics, Georgie takes Matt through the endless options of AUs, or alternative universes.

This week, Georgie and Matt explore fanfiction tropes, from the best loved to the unheard of - but which will become Matt's favourite? Article referenced: www.fansplaining.com/articles/five-tropes-fanfic-readers-love-and-one-they-hate Please note that the section of the article about most hated tropes contains some difficult material which is why we didn't cover it - if you aren't in the right headspace to see that then skip that section.

*Please note!! This episode contains some VERY explicit material, so listener discretion is advised* This episode, Georgie and Matt explore the sheer range of fanfiction, from fluff to smut, from outer space to Middle Earth...

This episode, Georgie and Matt set sail with ships. What is a ship? Why do people ship certain characters? How do we come up with ship names? What are the most popular ships? And, most importantly...which ship is our favourite?

What is fanfiction? Seems like a good place to start... Georgie and Matt discuss the history of fanfiction, from its inception to its current iterations. From Star Trek to Fanfiction.net, Matt gets the full crash course.

A fanfiction podcast...or a podcast about fanfiction?  Georgie and Matt are friends. Georgie knows a lot about fanfiction, and Matt knows nothing about fanfiction. One day, the pair thought "why don't we make our lunchtime conversations into a podcast?" ...I don't know what you all expected.
