Basically the object of the show is primarily to allow talented, experienced authors of lesbian fan fiction to talk about their craft in a setting that comes pretty close to actually being on your car radio. Since fan fiction is technically copyright violation to a lot of people, we occupy a somewhat grey area, and I think that's one reason why I don't hear many authors like us showing up on C-Span. As someone who himself wrote femslash fanfic for over nine years, I always wanted to be the subject of an interview, and I imagine many other authors also would enjoy that kind of recognition.
Currently Femslash4Fans Radio, which has been on the air for almost two years, typically airs live on every other Thursday. Most shows have 2-3 fanfic authors from a specific popular fandom in the lesbian community - Xena, Law & Order:SVU, Guiding Light, Grey's Anatomy, etc. The length of the show can be anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours, depending on the number of guests. Occasionally I speak with an individual author who has produced a substantial amount of work in multiple fandoms. And I've also expanded the show's focus to talk with other people involved in the creation of original lesbian-oriented fiction that can only be found on the Internet. That includes webseries and fanfic archives.
Listeners have the choice of tuning in live, when they can also participate in the chatroom or call the show with a question of their own. Or they can download an .mp3 copy of the show after it airs.
And this is the information for the next show, which airs a week from Thursday on April 28th, and which can be found on the homepage.
Boldly Going - "Star Trek: Voyager" Author GL Dartt
www.blogtalkradio.com/allaine/2011/04/29/gl-dartt
Tonight Femslash4Fans Radio airs the latest in an occasional series of interviews with individual authors. Normally we focus on specific fandoms and speak to multiple authors from that fandom, but every now and then, we have a guest who has written, and written wellm in so many fandoms that we can't limit the discussion to a single fandom. Past guests have included Fembuck, Della Street, Sharon Bowers, and Harper. This time we're privileged to have on author GL Dartt, who is probably best known for her massive body of work for Star Trek: Voyager, featuring the Janeway/Seven pairing. Dartt's stories include the "Just Between" and "Millenium" series, BOTH of which were so long that they had to be broken out into multiple seasons. But Dartt has also written in several other fandoms, including several Bianca/Reese stories from All My Children, the Helen/Nikki series "After Larkhall" from Bad Girls, and a number of Xena: Warrior Princess stories including the two-parter "Enemy Mine/Enemy Ours". Oh, and she also found time to publish two original novels, "Unexpected Sparks" and "Unexpected Ties". We'll find time to discuss it all. Joining us will be my cohost Dreiser, who has herself performed extremely well on this show several times as both cohost and guest.
Sincerely, Allaine
