Ohpoo #nopoo (early bird!)

Baking soda: it's terrible.

(For your hair, I mean. It's pretty good for other things.)

Sick and gross

Uuuuuuuggggghhhhh.

OK, so owing to the aforementioned ughness, there will be no Stuff You Like episode next Tuesday, because I've been ill, the baby has been ill, and sleep is a distant memory. A be...

SYL 145: Hitch

PUAs, date coaches, and ethical picking-upping (that's totally not a phrase I just made up, shhh).

Also Will Smith attempting a charm offensive in spite of some truly sub-par writing.

Early Bird: Hitch

I did a lot of reading about the PUA community for this episode.

Don't even ask me. (It must be pointed out that most of that stuff got cut, but still.)

Keep polling, polling, polling, polling, yeah?

Welcome, one and all!

Time for a poll... which, sadly, Patreon doesn't seem to offer.

So: four choices! What gets your vote for a  not-next-but-soon episode/video?

STUFF YOU LIKE: S...

Thumbnails, I make them!

Yes indeed. Mostly I make them the day before the episode goes up, because I have consulted The List and on there is "make thumbnail", a thing I often forget about. But today I am ahead of myself, so ...

HOFF3: Slashing Up An Ion Storm

Maven link to follow,  which will include the impressive list of sources for this episode.

Come on down for Star Trek, Star Wars, fanzines and slash!

HOFF3 Early Access!

Star Trek, Star Wars, Gene Roddenberry and, of course, a little slash.

Let me know if you spot anything that needs correcting, and drop me a comment regardless to tell me what you think!

HOFF 3 Titles

Hey everyone! I hope you're all holding up ok. Especially those of you in the US.

I am here to distract you with things, though, so I'mma do that.

Feel The Berne (Convention): History of Fanfiction Part 2

Hooray! Mickey Mouse, Queen Anne, Sherlock Holmes, and A B...

Tada! The new reward tiers post of usefulness!

All right people! There are now reward tiers on my Patreon again! (This means if you are a Patron you may have to go tick that you're a $5 or $10 or whatever Patron. But we'll see how that works.)

I...

It's just Tiers and Rain...

Hello Patron-type people! Soon it will be November, and as I said in my Patron video in August, I'm thinking of bringing in tiers again. Thank you all for your suggestions, they were very helpful.

HOFF 2 - early access!

Come and see History of Fanfiction part 2, with copyright, Queen Anne, and Mickey Mouse!

SYL 144: The Force Awakens

https://www.maven.video/c/jillbearup/BkpLlo7Je

I think it worked! I think it really embedded the thing! I do! ...

Early access: The Force Awakens!

Not that I'd use you all as an unofficial sound check service, honestly. But if the music is off-puttingly loud, (or if you see anything else that looks dodgy) let me know!

I think Carrie Fisher's b...

It's here! Virgil was a Homer Fanboy: History of Fanfic Pt 1

Storygami version on Maven is here: https://www.maven.video/c/jillbearup/HkolSVZA

but for those who prefer YouTu...

History of Fanfic Part One is not a snappy title

So I'm thinking maybe 'Virgil was a Homer fanboy', as we mostly talk about the Ancient Greeks and Arthurian legend in this instalment.

(And yes, I made a Monty Python joke, but yes, I limited myself...

Coyote Ugly and The Little Lady Agency

SOCIOLOGY YO!

Or emotional labour, movie dads, and why I'd rather read about Melissa than watch Violet.

An August update!

Just for you, dear Patrons, a lighting test (oh the excitement), some discussion of what's coming up on the show, and a request for thoughts on Patreon perks/tiers/rewards/thingies.

Let me know your...

SYL 141: Ghostbusters, Kevin, and the Dunning-Kruger Effect

I ain't afraid of no ghosts.

I do have the theme tune stuck very firmly in my head, but that's a minor price to pay.

Kevin, Dunning-Kruger, being too stupid to know you're stupid, and who will...

Who's got two thumbs and a proper space for her greenscreen?

THIS GIRL.

Last time I made a greenscreen video, I had to tip my bed frame on its end to make space, and my poles were made from bamboo I cut from the garden. But now I have a dedicated space in the...

Is this thing on?
