Internet Radio Interview - Nikki & Nora and author katiepult
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 four 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 discussions in recent weeks of popular femslash pairings in TV crime drama, like "Women's Murder Club", "NCIS", and "CSI: Miami", the series continues, airing LIVE on Thursday, October 1st, at 10 PM EST:

Beating the Odds #1 - Nikki & Nora, the Show That (Almost) Never Was, and Author Silk
In the first of a two-part series on unlikely femslash successes, we'll discuss Nikki & Nora, the biggest femslash TV pairing that was never on TV. Featuring two lead actresses as New Orleans police detectives who are partners in the bedroom as well as in the squadroom, N&N inevitably attracted a great deal of attention from the gay & lesbian media when UPN announced the pilot. That saved N&N from obscurity when UPN chose not to pick the pilot up for a full series. Rather than being consigned to oblivion, N&N took advantage of the Internet by releasing the pilot onto the Web, where it has been seen by hundreds of thousands of fans. One of those is the author katiepult, who wrote the ongoing "Trouble" series about the intrepid detectives played by Liz Vassey and Christina Cox. We'll talk to her about how a single 40-minute episode motivated her to author a series of successful, well-written stories which have lived on even longer than UPN itself.
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 http://www.blogtalkradio.com/allaine to hear all previous interviews.
You can also join the F4F mailing list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/femslash4fansradio. There you can find show updates and polls, and you'll have the opportunity to volunteer your opinions on past shows and future guests.
Remember, the show airs at 10 PM Eastern Standard Time and runs until 10:30 PM. Please join us. We're all very excited for this occasion.
Sincerely, Allaine
