We remained out of the whole evening, that’s only so out-of character for folks.

Let’s simply do the next action. And I also thinkis only already been just how our connection’s been for like 11 many years. Each step has just been like, “This component’s fantastic. What is the next thing we can easily perform?” therefore, yeah.
Theme song plays
Drew:
Hi, I Am Drew.
Christina:
And I’m Christina.
Drew:
And this is,
Wait, Is This a romantic date?
Christina:
Hold off, So Is This a Date?
is actually an Autostraddle podcast aimed at the burning concern: delay, so is this a romantic date? Where Drew and I also find all sorts of things about internet dating. What exactly is internet dating, somethingn’t internet dating. And extremely just have a grand adventure, I would say.
Drew:
I’d also declare that it has been a huge adventure to date and certainly will are. I’m called Drew Gregory. I am an author for Autostraddle and a filmmaker and a trans lesbian. And that I want something totally new to add to the combine. I never can think of everything new. I do believe those tend to be my personal identities.
Christina:
Often identification doesn’t transform, despite just what TikTok will say to you.
Drew:
I’m Jewish.
Christina:
Yeah. After All likeâ
Drew:
Kind of. I mean, yeah. No, I am not religious, but that is in addition part of my identification. You are able to tell from my locks.
Christina:
That featuresn’t altered however, i guess.
Drew:
That I Am Jewish?
Christina:
Yeah. You have been Jewish.
Drew:
No, I’ve been Jewish. Yeah, that don’t take place amongst the two attacks. Well, who’re you, Christina?
Christina:
I’m Christina. I am in addition a writer at Autostraddle. A loud homosexual on the web. I am really eager for the advent of Princess Diana period, AKA motorcycle short pants and sweatshirts. That is where i am trying to end up being. I’m in Philadelphia, so it’s 96 levels nowadays. So we’re slowly obtaining indeed there. It’s simply like i would like it nowadays. Its my perfect time. I want to end up being a principal personality in the fall, and it is not occurring but.
Drew:
Yeah. Well, what exactly is interesting you are disclosing just now is, thus for our listeners, it’s been per week since the final occurrence, that will be exactly what it usually is. But for all of us, we really taped the very first six periods while we were finding our voice and creating this brand new podcast. We taped that ahead, nevertheless now we’re very existing. Making this like we have had a whole summertime. Therefore we have not recorded in several months so we’ve already been around all kinds of things
Christina:
Uncharted area. The last time we recorded, we hadn’t satisfied. We have satisfied physically.
Drew:
That’s true! Yes!
Christina:
Drew was at my ding, dang home, just going out.
Drew:
Yes!
Christina:
I would personally simply awake and become similar, “Well, hunt, which is Drew over there.”
Drew:
Very great.
Christina:
It actually was truly wonderful.
Drew:
You’ve got these types of a gorgeous residence.
Christina:
Thanks. It really is a homosexual chaos home therefore we love it really dearly. Yeah. Therefore we’re merely on a brand new trip and it’s truly exciting becoming going on this opportunity with these listeners. Can we have anything we should pontificate about before we get into the little game?
Drew:
After all, I am not sure. I’d a big summer time, but I guess circumstances will come up due to the fact attacks arrive, butâ¦
Christina:
Yeah, I really don’t want you to weight it-all in the front.
Drew:
You do not need me to ruin any such thing?
Christina:
Yeah. Load all of it right in front? My personal Jesus, what a horrible phrase.
Drew:
It seemed somewhat sexual, but I Truly had a lot more of a considered wantâ
Christina:
It performed!
Drew:
I imagined more though that you are currently leaving Home Depot and were like stepping into the car, that we know you do not have, but which was in addition in which my personal head is actually, which also might-be sexual.
Christina:
I additionally only love your thing that is keeping me personally from browsing Residence Depot is actually a car and never ab muscles person that Im. Like whenever I’ve been at a Home Depot, some body has been like, “Ma’am have you been missing? Will you be secure here?” And that I’m similar, “No, frankly. Much wood around. I’m not safe.” Thus I have a game for Drew because we want to perform video games.
Drew:
I am listening.
Christina:
And I determined, in both respect of my self and our guest, that the would end up being a tiny bit intro into the arena of fanfic for Drew. Just what exactly I have accomplished is actually I’ve used five programs from Drew’s Favorite Characters in tv record, I am also probably read you some tags from AO3’s fanfiction and you are going to have to imagine which on the shows these tags are discussing. I am going to begin common, they’re going to increase specific on the tv series once we complement.
Drew:
Okay. I Recently involve some concernsâ
Christina:
Of course you will do.
Drew:
Because I don’t know many regarding the fanfic globe. Thus every program provides words being involving that demonstrate?
Christina:
Yes.
Drew:
That range in specificity, I would envision?
Christina:
Sure. Yes, they are doing.
Drew:
Therefore should you desired to get a hold of a demonstrate that had like, I’m not sure, medieval instances you might strike the medieval tag.
Christina:
We’ll say that i did not get a hold of any medieval times tags in virtually any of those shows. Want to find it.
Drew:
Well, that is not my flavor, but I was merely organizing some thing out.
Christina:
Yes.
Drew:
Because i suppose during my brain, I happened to be like, oh, well, in case you are checking out fanfic, you are considering demonstrates that have actually figures you love. But that’s not necessarily your situation. Sometimes you’re checking for a subject and after that you can find out programs through the fanfic?
Christina:
You could potentially. That would be an unusual method to approach fanfic because most men and women address it knowing the ship they usually have in mind. Right after which they do say, i wish to read probably an alternative world type of this fanfic. Maybe i would really like some harm convenience. Perhaps I would like a slow burn. Possibly i recently want some directly smut. There are many locations wherein people go. And there’s also simply extra tags, letting you know the kind of flavor and feeling in the story. And then wewill get taste and feeling. Because demonstrably ships will offer it away and an alternative world isn’t specially beneficial per the tv series, therefore weare going to end up being certain on the tv show.
Drew:
Okay, cool. Why don’t we leap engrossed.
Christina:
Fine.
Drew:
Let’s discover together. Yeah.
Christina:
Okay. Your first one. We’re going to start out with imaginary politics, praise kink, abandonment dilemmas, extremely slow burn.
Drew:
Compliments kink, political⦠imaginary politics?
Christina:
Imaginary politics, yes.
Drew:
Does which means that like politics which can be grounded inside the real world, however they are imaginary or totally fictional politics?
Christina:
We haven’t read the fic involved, but i am assuming it means totally imaginary politics.
Drew:
Okay.
Christina:
We could keep working.
Drew:
Yeah, keep going.
Christina:
Past abuse, harmed convenience, i want comfortable what to live so do you. Hilarious tag. Just was required to read any particular one.
Drew:
Okay, wait. Possibly i ought to get one minute and considercarefully what my favorite shows tend to be. Okay. Because I’m attempting to think of the suggests that have politics in them. Oh hold off, will it be
The L Keyword?
Christina:

The L Word.

Every thing clicks. Everything presses. It had been also hard because I’d to obtain ones that have been certain enough to the tv show, additionally like, it might surprise one know there’s a lot of praise kink situations around.
Drew:
Yeah.
Christina:
The same as a bunch. Just like plenty.
Drew:
I do believe that. I like all of our area.
Christina:
I’m sure. One of these just isn’t in your list of favored TV shows and/or preferred TV characters because a number of your preferred television shows did not have fics, that was sad.

Yeah, one other any would end up being “team bonding” and I was actually like, which is a straightforward one. There’s an easy one. Fine. Let’s see. Canon fictional character passing, LGBTQ personality of tone. There’s a tongue twister for you personally. Groups of choice. Mother girl commitment.
Drew:
Sense 8?
Christina:

The L phrase.
Drew:
Okay. I was like, ex-lovers to buddies back once again to ex⦠Yeah, the ex-lovers.

The L term
fanfic may be the staggering level of Bette Tina fanfic is like, y’all require toâ¦
