Using the printers at work for something fun

[amongthestackspodcast]

I have finally gotten myself a steady job that pays consistent hours which means that I can finally finish paying people for the work they’ve already done on Stacks (I’m sorry it took so long) which means we can finally get back to the show.

We return by year’s end! -N

Hi all we’ve just been informed that since we defaulted on the web hosting we had on Hover our website has been taken over by an incredibly terrifying spam of adverts, so heaven only knows what’s there. We’ve taken it off our linktree and we’re removing it from all the episode descriptions currently. Be safe and don’t click anything!

If you’re looking for transcripts they can be found through a Google Drive link in the individual episodes - and if there’s anything you want to know that you can’t find already, just shoot us a message or tag us and we’ll be happy to help you out.

I have at last figured out how to update the colours and logos of the blog. I know this is basic stuff but please people I don’t tumble!

I have yet to figure out how tumblr works but I’ve been spending today ponderously looking over plan for the show. It’s currently a five season plan with a lot of the major plot beats sorted out already. It may not seem it from what we got out before our hiatus but it makes all sense

I hope one day you’ll get to hear it

Jess Berson

Buckle up friends, this one's gonna suck. I don't like having to do this, but we need to talk about a member of the audio fiction community who is a bad actor. TW: Stalking, abuse, self-harm and extortion. Let's talk about Jess Berson, creator of Regina Prime

In October of last year, my business partner had a very brief involvement with Jess. Their entire relationship began and ended in less than a month. Jess then started to behave erratically and abusively. Posts altered to not name victims.

The real troubling behavior began almost immediately. Jess started lashing out at Joseph with threats and images of self harm she'd perpetuated on herself. This is a textbook case of domestic abuse.

When Joseph didn't respond the way she wanted, she escalated her behavior. She began sending harassing messages attached to PayPal donations, all the while claiming she didn't have the money for copays for her mental health visits.

When these were refunded and failed to have the intended effect, Jess further escalated. She sent a package to Joseph's former home with a vague threat against another creator in the community.

All the while, an email thread purpose built to harass people Jess had felt wronged her raged on. Jess has emailed as often as 2 dozen times a day, adding and removing people seemingly at random. This has been sent directly to people's bosses at networks as well.

Included in this email chain were messages that Jess had exchanged with Joseph's ex after Jess's abuse spilled out into the real world. Joseph's mother also began receiving odd and harassing phone calls and fake process servers showing up at her house around this time.

I'm certain that Jess will respond to this in some format with her own twisted version of events. We don't expect the abuse to stop by making this post, in fact we're sure it will get worse. That's not the point. The point is to save other people from being victimized. Jess has been engaging in abuse of SEVERAL members of the audio fiction community for at least seven months now. Her behavior has everyone in fear of what the next escalation may be. This is only our account of that abuse. Others have similar stories, I'm certain. Be forewarned.

We are one of the shows affected by this prolonged campaign of harassment, abuse, and stalking. We’re finally speaking up because something needs to be said. Please read and be forewarned about any future interactions you may have with Jess Berson

Hey gang, haven’t really used this account all that much lately so just to restate that we’re still working on more episodes in little ways and we hope to be back sometime soon. We hope you’ll like them, but I am frankly terrified at the thought of returning.

Stay safe, be good.

[amongthestackspodcast]

We can promise that, and a lot of gay! (If we can get the time)

If I had a nickel for every audio fiction podcast that started as an anthology before slowly weaving in an overarching narrative with heartfelt character growth, interactions, and maybe a little bit of gay as a treat… I’m not sure how many nickels I’d have but it’d be more than two.
