Dear readers,
Femslash For Fans at
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/allaine is a call-in Internet radio show I've been hosting for the past three months, devoted to Internet femslash fan communities and the authors who write there. The goal is to give femslash fanfic authors the chance to be interviewed over the medium of live audio, and readers the chance to hear what their favorites have to say.
In the wake of the extremely successful interviews in recent weeks of popular fanfic authors like
harper_m and
fembuck, as well as top authors from fandoms like "Guiding Light", "Grey's Anatomy", "Private Practice", "X-Men", and "Los Hombres de Paco", the show continues its look at femslash in televised crime dramas in this special hourlong segment, airing LIVE next Thursday, September 3rd, at 10 PM EST:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/allaine/2009/09/04/Womens-Murder-Club Liz Estrada, Demeter, Inspector Boxer and the Virtual Seasons of Women's Murder Club
In the second of a series on femslash in televised crime dramas, we'll be discussing the short-lived ABC drama Women's Murder Club, based on the popular novels by James Patterson. WMC was crippled by the writer's strike, then allowed to die an agonizing death worthy of the Kiss-Me-Not Killer in three final episodes that the fans . . . well, some of them wanted their EYES sewn shut. But, like so many other cancelled shows, WMC lives on in the fan fiction of authors such as our guests
liz_estrada,
demeter94, and
inspectorboxer, and we'll talk about that in the first half of a special, hour-long episode. UNLIKE many other shows, however, WMC also lives on in its popular Virtual Seasons. My guests all had a hand in the writing of VS2 and VS3, and we'll talk about their experience, Lindsay/Cindy, and what to expect as VS3 continues in October.
I hope people here will listen in. If you can't listen live, you can listen later by downloading the .mp3 file. There will also be a live chatroom while the show is on. You can also go to

Remember, the show airs at 10 PM Eastern Standard Time and runs until 11:00 PM. Please join us. We're all very excited for this occasion.
