Wattpad... we all know it, we all have our opinions about it (good or bad), but there's one thing that we can't stop talking about and that is its fanfiction. From reading the worst Wattpad fanfiction to criticizing the highly popular book and movie series After, which is also fanfiction, anyone on the outside would think Wattpad is a sight similar to AO3 or FanFiction.Net. But did Wattpad start as a fanfiction site? And is that where Wattpad sees its future? Join us today as we ask ourselves these questions and talk all things Wattpad - the good, the bad, and the fanfiction.

The reboots, remakes, and sequels of Avatar: The Last Airbender only reminds us that people love the animated television show and the characters who reside in the world. Out of all of the main and beloved characters (Aang, Katara, Sooka, Toph, Zuko) people either know or have headcannoned their futures as adults, couples, and parents. But there has always been one character that even the official sequel show, The Legend of Korra, has never shined a light on. Azula. Fire Lord Ozai's daughter. Prince Zuko's sister. Firebending master. And ultimately arrested and taken away never to be seen again at the end of the show.

There's always one trope or Alternate Universe that every fanfiction reader never touches. It might be arranged marriage or accidental pregnancy or anything explicit, but for Sydney it's Hanahaki Disease. She has never read a Hanahaki fic, never wanted to read a Hanahaki fic, until the day a lone listener sent her a recommendation for a Hanahaki fic that might be right up her alley. Listen and learn about the origin of the trope, their favorite and least favorite parts of the trope, and if the characters make it out of this fic alive.

Plus, lavender is faced with the knowledge that she has written in the Chainsaw Man fandom 366% more than any other fandom.

Our very own certified lore whore is back to lore dump on us once again. But she is back to promote and hope (fingers crossed) that you play one of her favorite indie games of the last few years. Chockful of sci-fi elements, horrifying gore, a very purposefully confusing plot line, and a hard as fuck survival system, GTFO has everything Maya could ever ask for in a video game, and she hope that she can find it an audience in our listeners.

Do you all remember a certain chest that Sydney has stored under her bed? Do you remember what that chest was filled with? Well it's been over a year and Sydney has dragged that chest out from its hiding spot and has opened it for all (of age 18 and older). She's dug around, rummaged between items, and pulled out a camcorder. If you are do willing, you may sit down and relax as Sydney pops in the tap she has found inside. Maybe there will be happy home videos... or maybe there will be the nastiest porn you've ever seen between Castiel and Dean Winchester. As always, send us your fic recommendations, or reach out if you are a fic author who would like to be interviewed in the future, at canonicallyincorrectpod@gmail.com

Fanfiction author MildManneredMuse (Loving You Black & Blue) joins Sydney to discuss rejoining fandom after years of being away, how fanfiction is created for the sake of being created, the realities of needing to keep her fanfiction far away from her working professional life, and why Muse loves writing smut from a narrative and character driven perspective rather than just a pleasure-driven experience. Plus, Sydney tries to convince Muse to try her hand at omegaverse fanfiction.

Is Overwatch maybe a red flag game? Possibly. Is that going to stop Maya's streak of playing the game and reading their fanfiction? Absolutely not. She hasn't stopped for eight years, and she isn't stopping now. And out of all of the characters that you could play (Maybe I'll be Tracer/I'm already Tracer, What about Widowmaker?/I'm already Widowmaker), there is one character that has captured the hearts of their fandom even after a name change.

We are in the very middle of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians television show, a show Sydney has been waiting for practically since she picked up The Lightening Thief at the age of 10. In tandem with watching the show as it comes out, she also finished reading the new Percy Jackson book, The Chalice of the Gods. And as soon as she opened those pages, she was transported back into the world of her childhood. And today, in the midst of the new years chaos, she wants to relax, take us back to the summer and to the place that started it all... Camp Half Blood.

Sydney is a certified word girl. Fanfiction, traditionally published, self-published. However the words come to her, she'll take it, but Maya has always been, will always be a video game girlie. And we are getting close to the end of the year, which means The Game Awards are upon us. To commemorate the awards and Maya's love for gaming, she is taking us through this year's Game Awards and the culture of awards, independently made products, and the love and passion the community surrounding those products has all year, award or not.

However, the tranquil evening takes a dark turn when the host is found dead under mysterious circumstances.

Baldur's Gate 3 has completely taken over Maya's time and her heart, and as the very best friend and cohost, she must make sure that Sydney knows who she would be most compatible with if she were to ever pick up the game and share in the hyperfixation.

Pokémon has become a staple in every generation of child, but underneath that façade of cute, family-friendly content there's always been a dark and creepy underbelly. From disturbing Pokédex entries to Easter Eggs of ghosts and ghouls purposefully placed in game by game designers, the world of Pokémon has become ripe for horror lovers and fans of everything scary to go wild with terrifying fan theories, scary fanart (some by famous manga artist Gunji Ito), and spine-chilling Creepypastas. Creepypastas were once the scariest thing a child could read on the Internet, and while may not be cheesy and cringe in retrospect, there's something about those silly little stories that have such a special place in Sydney's heart. So mixing her love of Pokémon with her love to the macabre, Sydney's will tell two tales from the dark with the help of her friends Unown and Hypno.

Plus, Sydney and MrsAckerman talk extensively about the Omegaverse, their interesting shipping and world dynamics, and the ways that writers turn the AU on its head.

Well... we've made it. Our 100th episode is finally here, and, of course, we're going to go all out. We wouldn't be here as fanfiction and fandom podcasters, as fanfiction readers and writers, or even as friends if not for one little site you may have heard of... Archive of Our Own. This site has given us so much, so it seems fitting to commemorate 100 episodes with a tribute and a bit of history of AO3. Celebrate with us (and a few special guests who you will hear along the way) as we celebrate fanfiction past, present, and future.

Hi everyone. This is a bit of an unexpected update, but we will be taking a break for the next two months (July and August) to focus on our physical and mental health. We've been running full speed at this project of ours for over two and a half years, no breaks, no end in sight, and it has been a wonderful journey with all of you, but we've come to the point where out burnout is greater than our passion. We love working on Canonically Incorrect, so we're giving ourselves this time to remember what makes this so special in the first place. You will still be receiving content from us in the form of our joint Patreon episodes and monthly author interviews. Thank you all in advance for your understanding and support. You have been the reason this has become such a passion project to the both of us. We will see you soon.

SKIP TO 15:15 FOR A THING OF VIKINGS PART II

Last time on A Thing of Vikings, tames dragons have changed Berk and the inhabitants' lives forever. The entire world has their eyes on the small isle of Berk and Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third doesn't know how to be a good chief, a good boyfriend, a good son, a good hero even without the eyes of nobles and royals on him. Today, Sydney reads chapters 7-12 of this beloved (and terribly long) fanfiction, digging a bit farther into the story and getting a clearer view of how this story will lead us in the future.

The long awaited Super Mario Bros. movie is finally here! As a lover of animation and Nintendo, Maya has, of course, come prepared to sing the praises of the crew, the cast (except for Chris Pratt), and the franchise in which it was born from... in the form of reading a Mario Bros. fanfiction of course. But unlike the movie, today's tale follows the younger, taller, and greener bro, Luigi, alongside the King of Koppas himself, Bowser.

Have you ever wondered why fanfiction authors had to write a disclaimer that the people/story/setting they were writing was not their own for the longest time? This story begins long before some of you were even born, back when vampires were new to the modern day zeitgeist and fanfiction was called speculative fiction (spec for short). Back when fanfiction authors didn't have much to worry about other than finding a new Usernet group to chat about your favorite new show, book, movie. But, in the shadows rose an enemy of fanfiction. One that did not care if you disclaimed that this world or characters were not yours, or that you were not making money off of your work. She was going to find a way for authors to stop writing fanfiction one cease and desist letter at a time.

To plan or not to plan? That is the question. Today in our March bonus episode (chosen by our lovely Patrons) we are debating the illusive concept of planning or pantsing in our personal writing styles. We've spoken about this from time to time, but today is the day to get into the nitty gritty of why Sydney doesn't plan a single thing before work vomiting on a page and why Maya extensively plans every chapter before even writing a single word.

The mesmerizing, glorious, heartbreaking show The Last of Us is ending their first season on Sunday, and you know what that means... it's fanfiction time, baby! While the show has been getting so many rave reviews for it's adaptation, the acting, the practical effects; but there has been one man who has been getting more attention (for better or worse) than the rest. Pedro Pascal as Joel has stolen our hearts and filled our FYPs with many a sexy man edit. Even before Pedro Pascal took over the role, this fanfiction from 2017 has proven that Joel has always been a bright spot in our hearts. But in this world of infected, zombie-like people and every man for himself, is there really any room for happily ever afters?

March 16 brings the beginning of spring, but it also bring the second season of Netflix's Shadow and Bone. To celebrate this incredible show adapted from a beloved Young Adult series, Sydney shares a fanfiction from a friend of the podcast, Chel (a.k.a. destinies), villainy lover, amazing guest, and an even more amazing fanfiction author. Her fanfiction welcomed the new Grishaverse/Darklina fans that came from the show, and with season 2 on the horizon, she will do it again with her fan-favorite fanfiction, Out of Time. Will this be everything we want from the new season and more? Will we walk away hoping this was actually what was coming in the show? Probably not because Leigh Bardugo is a very gifted writer... but so is Chel.

We're talking all things Tron, baby!

If you don't know Sydney and Maya yet, (first on hello, welcome to the show) the first thing you should know is that Sydney is the queen on happily ever after, love at first sight, and any other cheesy love-filled saying you can think of.

Every individual who's life in enthralled by fandom and fanfiction will come at a crossroad of a fandom that is... less that fun to them. And today, Maya has brought Sydney to this crossroad. We have always known that Sydney and Maya were two sides of the same coin, but they could more or less come to an agreement or enjoyment for the sake of the other... unless the Star Wars fandom is involved. Now, admittedly, the fic Maya has brought today is an incredible fic that writes real life issues with such complexity and care that you could learn so much from this piece of fiction alone, but it is enough for Sydney to open her heart to Star Wars... or at least to its most beloved character, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Happy 2023! Season 3 is kicking into high gears with a Modern AU, Scientists AU, College AU, Slow Burn, Friends to Enemies to Lovers fanfiction that is perfect for the chill we're all still feeling in these winter months.

The most isolated place in the world, no one but scientists are allowed to travel to the continent, and such as isolated place makes the perfect situation for romance. Extreme cuffing season, am I right? So join us as we follow Adora and Catra from the wildly popular show, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, up to the Amundsen Scott Station in the South Pole to get on each other's nerves, run away from their feelings, and make out under the Southern Lights.
