In today's episode, MissSnowfox and Xancredible are again joined by Amphigoury and Altocello to finally continue and conclude our talk about fanart! This is the second part of a two-parter, in which we're talking about where you can go to find fanart, and how we feel about people making money off of fanart.
The episode is roughly 2.5h long, which is yet another miracle job of editing work by Rox because still none of us can shut up, and the raw file is 4h long.
To get in touch with us, send an email, an ask on tumblr, or tweet at us on twitter. You can also join our discord and find our podacst on iTunes!
If you'd like to tip us for the work we do for this podcast, you can find us on ko-fi.
ALL TIPS WE RECEIVE ON KO-FI WILL BE FORWARDED TO UK-BASED ORGANISATIONS & CHARITIES THAT BENEFIT BLACK WOMEN OR BLACK QUEER PEOPLE.
The charities that will benefit are
Southall Black Sisters
UK Black Pride
The Hackney Migrant Centre
The Unity Project

In today's episode, MissSnowfox and Alex are joined by Brent and Joelle to discuss the ships Arthur/Morgana [Armor] and Merlin/Gwen [Merwen].
Unfortunately, Brent had some tech issues and is therefore hard to understand a lot of the time. Please be patient with it, usually Rox or Alex will sum up Brent's point at the end. We just didn't want to cut them from the episode entirely.

In today's episode, MissSnowfox and Xan talk about the eleventh episode of season two: The Witch's Quickening. Join us for a little under 2.5h of questions over questions, a lot of rage about everything, and the regular amount of nitpicking just with fewer headcanons to fix any of the issues, sadly.
Also, if you find it strange that Connor has things to say during the talkback and then not for the rest of the episode, it's because we used the talkback recording of a different episode and added it to this episode because tech failures mean that the Costumes episode for misc. characters wasn't fully recorded but we managed to salvage this massive talkback.

In today's episode, MissSnowfox and Momo are joined by Amphigoury, Altocello, and Brolinskeep to talk about fanart! This is the first part of a two-parter (because we have a lot more to talk about than we thought........), and it includes some "definition" of different types of fanart, talking about resources, and airing a whole list of grievances and pet-peeves surrounding the treatment of fanart and artists in fandom.
The episode is just under 2.5h long, which is honestly a miracle job of editing work by Rox because none of us can shut up.

In today's episode, MissSnowfox and Momo talk about the second part of the series two mid-season two-parter, "Beauty and the Beast." There's appreciation of Arthur's characterisation, and no appreciation for the way this show makes fun of victims of sexual assault.

Disclaimer: The works listed below (especially the ones in the Top 3 categories) are Mergana works by the best estimation of momo, who compiled the stats. Momo checked the summaries, tags, and author's notes to determine if these fics looked like they actually focused on Mergana as a pairing, or at least gave the pairing a central role, rather than treat them as background decoration. If any of the listed fics aren't Mergana works by the estimate of a Mergana shipper, we apologise for the error.
