The Fic List

The Fic List is a fandom podcast, hosted by Alan and Erin, that discusses and recs fanfiction. 
In the earlier episodes, they would feature four works: two based on the tag of the episode and two based on the AU of the episode.
For their second season, having decided this led to very long episodes, they cut down to alternating a tag one episode and an AU the following episode. They would usually discuss two works per episode, but the occasional episode would also include recs sent in by supporters of the show or guests.
Works from all categories are discussed, but M/M works are the most common, followed by F/M. A small number of F/F, Poly, and /Reader works have also been discussed. Some pairings feature more regularly than others, most notably Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh of The Magicians. Other common pairings in works are: Patrick Brewer/David Rose, Stiles Stilinksi/Derek Hale, Poe Dameron/Finn, and Uchiha Sasuke/Uzumaki Naruto. 
On 04 September 2023, the official description read:It’s like a book club… but for fan-fiction; or, the podcast in which two nerds send each other fanfics to read, recap, and review. Join two fan-fiction fanatics, Alan and Erin, as they join forces to spread their love of geekery and well-written fan-fiction. Welcome to The Fic List!
