Welcome to a Bite Sized episode of Not Another Teen Wolf Podcast, where we take one aspect of the fandom and discuss it in a mini-episode! This time around, Natalie, Karen, and Courtney talk about Teen Wolf fan-fiction and shipping!

Featured Song: “What I Like About You” by Lillix (as inspired by one of our favorite fan vids)

In this episode…

Shipping

-What’s canon?
-What’s fanon?
-Which pairs are our favorites and which ones can’t we stand?
-This is a judge-free zone. Mostly. Natalie has words about one of the pairings.

Head Canon

-What are some of the more commonly accepted pieces of head canon?
-We talk about ones that are hilarious, and ones that make a lot of sense.
-We also wonder about the origin of some of these…

Tropes and Themes

-What are some of the more commonly used tropes in fic?
-There are some we really can’t stand, and some we really like to see.
-We try to figure out the origin of Demon!Stiles.
-We also talk about AUs – Alternate Universe fics for the uninitiated.

Sterek

-You didn’t think we wouldn’t have a whole section on this, did you?
-We discuss why it’s so popular.
-We also talk about some of the issues fic writers often overlook when writing about Sterek.
-What does Jeff think about Sterek?
-We also get into slash shipping in general and, well, we get kind of philosophical. Here’s Selina’s article that we referenced.
