Summary
Ardith waited near the jeweler's shop in Fairmont, wondering where her fiancés were. Before the dragonborn woman could get too worried or impatient, she spotted Aleyn's lanky form descending from a hired carriage. He waved to her and hurried up to the little sheltered overhang where she stood. "I'm so sorry, Vedran had a last-minute meeting come up - he'll be with us as soon as he can, but it'll probably be an hour or so, and he asked me to come and let you know so you wouldn't be kept waiting, and he says he's sorry but it's with Lord... uh, somebody Varades, he's been trying to get to see him for weeks, and it sounded important anyway, but I know he felt really bad..."
She smiled and held up a hand to still his nervous babbling. "It's fine, Aleyn, the rings aren't going anywhere. Maybe until Vedran is able join us we can take a walk together - provided the rain holds off," she added with a glance at the grey clouds.

Summary
Okay, after a long delay (for which I apologize profusely), we are finally back with Episode 3. Hooray! In this episode, we follow on from last time with a discussion of what constitutes fanfiction and how it is best described and understood. Is there really a good metaphor that can encompass this whole crazy, multi-faceted world? Thus we tackle "Archontic Literature: A Definition, a History, and Several Theories of Fan Fiction" by Abigail Derecho. It is the first chapter in Karen Hellekson and Kristina Busse's Fan Fiction and Fan Communities in the Age of the Internet: New Essays (2006). We hope you enjoy!

Summary
"It's not about that. It's about me, and Vedran..."
"What about him?" His mother's eyes narrowed cautiously, as if bracing for bad news.
"It's all right," he assured her. "It's good, actually. He's getting married..."
His mother scowled despite his claim that this was good news. "Not to you, I suppose. Some noble girl?"
"No, and yes," Aleyn said with a smile.

Summary
One of the reasons she liked Aleyn was that he wasn't pushy or grabby or impatient like most boys their age. Still, Lila sometimes wished he would sweep her into his arms and embrace her more passionately. Maybe not here, though, where people were watching - including her mother, who was conveniently sweeping off the steps and keeping an eye out for her youngest daughter's return. Besides, Aleyn wasn't really the passionate type. At least, she thought, not yet, but maybe that would change tomorrow.

Summary
Shardene moves in so gradually Lester hardly notices. It starts as giving her a safe place to stay for a few days, maybe a week or two, and she just... stays. Sure, she goes home to get things - a change of clothes, the book she was reading - always with him along for the ride, in case. Lester gives her his bed and sleeps on the couch. "You're such a gentleman," she said, and laughs.

Summary
The new girl wasn't fit for house duty, at least that's what the dealer who'd sold her said. She'd been a runaway, that much was plain from the brand on her cheek. But she was pretty, aside from that, and well-spoken, and seemed docile enough now, whatever her past might have held. It seemed a shame to waste her in the fields, to let hard work roughen her hands and darken her skin. "Let me try her," Lara Lee begged her brother.

The complexities of sleeping arrangements by Nary for Measured_Words
Books of the Raksura - Martha Wells
21 Jan 2013

Summary
"Do you want to come to my bower tonight?" Chime's expression was odd - Moon read it as nervous, but that didn't make any sense. He'd slept in Chime's bower before, on nights when they'd stayed up late talking and it seemed too far to go to his own, and he'd learned in his time at Indigo Cloud that although Raksura normally all had their own places to sleep, they were often very casual about sharing them with other people.
"I didn't know I needed a formal invitation," Moon said, shrugging in confusion.
"You don't," Chime told him hastily, "you can sleep there whenever you want. I just wanted to... I thought I should ask... never mind."

Summary
Vedran and Aleyn reach a milestone in their relationship, the night after the big meeting in Highmark:
"I’m pretty sure I’m awake enough to want to rip all your clothes off the minute the door closes behind us.... if that’s okay?”

Summary
Lila gave him a measured look. "So, what's his name?"
"Who?" Aleyn feigned innocence.
"Come on, you can't fool me. You don't go all blushing and glowy over getting home from a trip and seeing your mother, or even me. So I conclude - new man in your life."

Summary
The first sentence Wren learned in Orcish was “How do you say…?” She filled in the last part with pointing or gestures or mime. “I took an elective in mime!” she said brightly when Rilk looked confused, but since he didn’t know what an ‘elective’ was, it didn’t really clear anything up.

Ficthropology Episode 2: Henry Jenkins - Textual Poachers: Television Fans and Participatory Culture by earis, Lukoni, Measured_Words, Nary

Summary
For our second episode, we introduce our fourth contributor, Earis, and spiral off on an involved discussion of Henry Jenkin's 1992 book Textual Poachers: Television Fans and Participatory Culture. This text is now twenty years old, but though it is dated, still contains some interesting insights into fandom, and seemed like a reasonable place for us to start delving into an exploration of academic works on fandoms. Please share this around if you're interested, and feel free to join our communities on either Livejournal or Dreamwidth to get regular updates. We have plans to start crossposting to Tumblr as well, and if anyone has suggestions on how to promote and disseminate this podcast, we would be pleased to hear about it!

Summary
Philip's journey from Paris was the shorter distance, yet he arrived later, almost as dark was falling. Richard, knowing his tactics well, refused to be goaded so easily into impatience. "I'll wager you wish you hadn't burned the bridge at Porte Joie now," he said cheerfully by way of greeting. "You could have been here in time for dinner. It was splendid, by the way. We saved you some scraps."

"I'm not sure about his cock," Sandoval said doubtfully, poking the item in question with one outstretched finger. "It should be magnificently erect, not sad and flaccid. It's depressing."

Summary
Macen stirred from his trance, unsure what the strange noise was that had disturbed him. There was no light coming from outside his bedroom, so it was still trance-time, but he didn’t want to settle down again, he wanted to get up. He looked over to the other bed, where Nursey should have been, but it was empty. He was all alone, and that was a little scary. He crawled his way over to the edge of the bed, squeezing around the end of the rail that was there to keep him in, a trick he had learned not long ago. He padded across the soft rug in his bare feet, to the edge where it turned into hard wooden floor, and then past it, bravely venturing out of his room.

Summary
The job was a book - a family heirloom, he gathered, passed down from Loric's father. Jacobine had been able to provide a careful description of it: less than an inch thick, about nine inches tall, bound in red leather, no title on the exterior but the family crest on the spine in gold, full of handwritten notes. Apparently it had belonged to some long-dead great-aunt who had been a professor at the Castalia. Jacobine herself was a professor at the Castalia, and felt that she was more entitled to the book and its contents than her heretic cult leader of an older brother. Dez's father worked with her, but he himself had never actually spoken with her, and had no idea what the book was supposed to contain, since she allegedly didn't know herself. Dez didn't buy that for a minute - no one hired professionals to break into their sibling's house for a book they didn't know would be valuable, or at least useful. It probably had some magical crap in it, if he had to guess, with an outside chance of 'map to family treasure'.
