Happy Halloween! Your intrepid hosts (Alison, Tonya, Megan and Lia) decided to brave the wilds of fan fic and see what lurks in the woods. We read fic with shapeshifters, a walk through the omegaverse,  alternate universes and grim reapers. No shaming, just exploring where fantasy and fandom can lead...with a side detour to get thinky over implications of AI. Please be warned there is talk of shipping and puppy play...and Lia lets you know exactly what goes down in Omegaverse. But please don't take it too seriously. This is strictly for fun. Meow. PS: We also aren't here for shaming fan fic. No literary snobs allowed.
