Join our intrepid host DarkWiccan and Delayne as they dive deep into the sometimes sweet, sometimes spicy, and always varied world of fanfiction for the Wynonna Earp fandom. MUSIC : A Proper Story by Darren Korb DARKWICCAN: Thanks Announcer Guy and welcome everybody to a brand new fourth season of the Earp Fiction Addiction , the podcast dedicated entirely to Wynonna Earp fanfiction. I remain your host DarkWiccan and with me are my fantastic co-hosts. From here in the United States... DELAYNE: Hi it’s Delayne. DARKWICCAN: And from all the way over the pond in bonny Ireland... LARAGH: Hey it’s Laragh. DARKWICCAN: Well gosh it’s so good to hear your voices, I can’t even begin to tell you. DELAYNE: [laughs] No kidding. DARKWICCAN: I have missed you guys so much, and now we’re all trapped in our homes so I can’t come see you. DELAYNE: All the plans that we had made to perhaps see each other have so far been delayed. DARKWICCAN: Delayed, not cancelled entirely, but at the very least delayed. Yes. Darn you Covid- 19. You know who I feel really bad for? I feel really bad for Corona beer. Because even though their beer is literally the worst, [laughs] this is truly going to destroy them. DELAYNE: Because corona just means crown in Spanish so... DARKWICCAN: Right, because the virus looks like it’s wearing a whole bunch of little crowns, like I get the idea but seriously, the branding on this, I feel really bad for the beer. But let’s talk about other stuff that’s been going on. So before we wrapped up season three of the podcast we learnt that Wynonna Earp had been given the green light to start production again and we were eagerly anticipating the beginning of that when we finished up season three of this show. Other things that happened, so okay you remember how in the last episode of the season when I was nine months pregnant I said that my goal was to pull a Melanie Scrofano and have my kid four days after the end of production? Well I beat Melanie Scrofano you guys. ALL: [laughs] DARKWICCAN: I had my kid three days after the end of production. DELAYNE: [clapping] Good job, congratulations, proud of you. Way to Scrofano that up. DARKWICCAN: Right? So yes, as everyone who follows me on Twitter knows at this point I had a wee baby, a wee baby girl named Éilis Rose. She’s doing spectacularly, she is the light of my life and the apple of my eye and all of those other sayings. She is adorable and super smart and the greatest baby ever and you can’t convince me otherwise. ALL: [laughs] LARAGH: We wouldn’t want to. DELAYNE: Yeah, we agree, hard agree. DARKWICCAN: So that has been quite an adventure so far and will continue to be for the rest of my life but I’m loving every second of it, even when I’m getting spat up on, haven’t gotten pooped on yet. I’m sure it will happen. I have gotten peed on, that was due to me not thinking when I was changing my kid out of her diaper to take a bath, I changed her out of her diaper and then I was just holding her to carry her over, I was literally turning to carry her to the bath, and then she started peeing all over me. “She’s peeing, she’s peeing,” I’m yelling at my wife Jen, “Jen she’s peeing, she’s peeing.” And Jen just laughed, laughed, laughed. I mean I was also laughing to be fair. LARAGH: It sounds like fan fic material. DARKWICCAN: Yeah, totally. Pocket that away there Laragh for future use in one of your family fics. LARAGH: You’re joking but I’m actually doing it. ALL: [laughs] DELAYNE: We didn’t think you were joking, we figured you were going to do it. DARKWICCAN: Yeah, yeah, I was not joking at all. So had a baby, so that happened. Let’s see, um, what’s been going on for you guys since we wrapped production on season three? LARAGH: oh. DELAYNE: uh. DARKWICCAN: You’re like, “jeez Jen, how do we fricking top” LARAGH: I got a new rug. DELAYNE: [laughs] DARKWICCAN: Hey, nice, what style. LARAGH: It's, um, you know, the style of art. DARKWICCAN: It’s a style of art? Okay. LARAGH: Yes, that’s about as much as I it has [inaudible] and it is soft to put your feet on, like a rug. DARKWICCAN: Nice, well that sounds wonderful, yeah. LARAGH: Pretty much it. DELAYNE: Uh work. DARKWICCAN: But you recently moved into a new place right? DELAYNE: I would love to say that, because we were supposed to be there on friday, and we’re hoping we’re able to get the keys on monday. So, anyway I could vent about the many many issues that has been. But right now I am in my room in my apartment but everything has been disbanded so I’m not shoved into my plaid studio at the moment, so I’m out in the open, hopefully it sounds okay. DARKWICCAN: I think you sound great. I’m just thrilled to hear both of your voices honestly. DELAYNE: Right? LARAGH: I know yeah. DELAYNE: I mean it’s not like we don’t pretty much talk every day, with the texting, with the words. DARKWICCAN: But not with our voices. It’s different, it’s a different thing, yeah yeah. But so it’s been a while, it’s been a minute, it’s been four months. Literally four months since we sat down to record so this is one of our longer hiatuses, I think. Our previous hiatus was only, what, a month and a half? Not even two months. DELAYNE: I don’t know. You keep track of that stuff. DARKWICCAN: Yeah, but I mean, you guys LARAGH: And I think the show aired in that hiatus as well didn’t it? So there was stuff going on. DARKWICCAN: It did. There was. So we thought okay we’re sitting down coming back after a pretty epic hiatus and we want to do something kind of, well to be redundant, epic. And we’ve interviewed Kat, we’ve interviewed Dom, we’ve interviewed Varun and Varun kind of put an idea in our heads with his interview in that he said you know it would be great to get Tim on. Now he pitched both him and Tim together and I think, yes that is something that will definitely be checked off the bucket list down the line, I just wanted to talk to the man himself, Doc Holliday by himself to start off. And you know, you never know until you ask, right? So I did my usual kind of thing, reaching out through the proper channels, always the proper channels, and seeing if there was some interest on Tim’s part, and yes! He agreed to come on the show! Even though we can’t actually talk to him about what the show’s about we can talk to him about characterisation and all the other fun stuff that we always talk to actors about. So we will be talking with Tim, that’s our premier surprise. Surprise everybody! DELAYNE: [laughs] LARAGH: Yay. DELAYNE: Well, it’s kind of fun because I think Tim is like, he is the “earpiest Earp” but also he has like the dream of almost every fanfic writer has come true for him, he has participated in writing of the canon comic. DARKWICCAN: Now, I’m glad you bring that up, he’s gotten to participate in the official comic. I don’t actually consider the comic to be canon. DELAYNE: Oh yes, we’ve had this discussion before. Either way he’s working with original material. DARKWICCAN: Yes, and it’s official, with IDW’s publishing label, it’s an official Wynonna Earp comic. DELAYNE: Yes. DARKWICCAN: So yes he is definitely living the dream that way, because not only is he a huge comic book fan so there’s that, he’s also as you say the “earpiest Earp”, he truly is, I mean everybody on the show is supportive of their own show but Tim is like a super-fan for his own show. And it’s delightful to watch him get so excited about it, and how much love he puts into the character and the show and also the fandom. So yeah, you’re absolutely right Delayne, he is living that dream. So it’ll be great to talk to him about the writing process, writing these characters outside of the television series so that’s going to be great to talk to him about. But this is the Earp Fiction Addiction so we must discuss some Doc Holliday fanfiction before we can get to the interview and I think we’ve stretched this opening bit as much as we can that it only makes sense at this point to dive into the fics that we’re going to talk about. DELAYNE: Sounds great. I’ll let you go first.
