Do you want an extra hour in the ball pit? This week, for the first time, V and Emily are joined by a VERY SPECIAL GUEST, @thelaurenshippen of the podcast @dashboarddiaries! They discuss the convention to end all conventions, the first (and only) DashCon. From its birth on the blue hellsite to its death in a Chicagoland hotel, DashCon was truly a lesson for the ages that just because sometimes fandom can pull off amazing and inspirational feats, sometimes it… cannot. Lauren brings her expertise in all things Tumblr to TWIFH with humor and grace. Did you go to DashCon? WOULD you go to a DashCon?

This Week In Fandom History is a fandom-centric podcast that tells you… what happened this week in fandom history!

[thelaurenshippen]

I know you said previously you weren't going to do an episode on 911 till buddie becomes canon, but I do hope that you at least talk a little bit about what happened this week in an upcoming episode.

Your joy is so infectious and I would love to hear more of your thoughts on Buck coming out as bisexual :)

oh gosh, we DID say that, didn't we? well, I'm thinking the odds on that episode of @dashboarddiaries happening after all are, uh...not bad!

but oh my god absOLUTELY! for those that don't listen, every week @overchers and I end the show with our feels corner, where we talk about what's giving us feels and you KNOW that bi evan buckley is going to be my headline as well as a huge part of what my last month on tumblr has been like!!!! you WILL be hearing my thoughts and joy!!!!

first in my heart @dashboarddiaries 🫶🫶🫶

@fandom @dashboarddiaries has there even ever been a week these last few years without destiel or supernatural in the top list for ships or tv shows?

[smugairle-roin]

Absolutely agog for @dashboarddiaries to do a Goncharov episode

[piratenami]

I feel like @thelaurenshippen needs to see this @dashboarddiaries

DASHBOARD DIARIES, EPISODE 3 - You Wouldn't Eeby Deeby a Blorbo, A Guide to Tumblr Terms

This week, we take a beat to talk through some Tumblr terms and the finer points of navigating the website. Whether you're brand new to the hellsite, diving back in after years away, or just a user who feels as passionately about terms like OTP and Glupp Shitto as we do. It's time to go back to Tumblr University! Drop comments, questions, etc., in our ask box or email us at dashboarddiariespod@gmail.com!

Thank you Pia for sharing your feels with us!

You didn't think we were done talking about Dashcon, did you? We've heard what it was like to BE there, but what was it like to RUN Dashcon. In this episode, we talk to Lochlan O'Neil, the Tumblr user who started it all.

on our most recent episode, we read an incredible email that we got from a listener, Mackenzie, in which Mackenzie gave us this incredible information:

You asked if anyone had read all of Destiel fanfiction, and I am here to tell you that it is physically impossible. After estimating the average length of a Destiel fic and multiplying that by the number of Destiel fics on AO3, it comes to 1,171,662,455 words. This would be like reading LoTR (including the Hobbit) and the Twilight Series 1000 times, which is about 6 years and 10 months worth of reading. This means that if someone read Destiel fic 12 hours a day, every day, since Castiel was introduced as a character less than 14 years ago, they would almost be caught up. Of course, if you include all Supernatural and RPF fic, the total reading time is 18 years, 10 months, which is longer than the show has existed.

[thelaurenshippen]

hello!!

I've gotten a lot of new followers in the last few days, I'm assuming because of the twitter exodus and while I imagine most of you are hopping over from following me there, I figured it wouldn't hurt to re-introduce myself to tumblr!

my name is Lauren Shippen and I am a

podcast writer/director/producer

novelist

sometimes voice actor

enormous fangirl

longtime tumblr user

my writing usually involves

supernatural/speculative elements

found family

queer stories

imperfect characters who you hopefully still love

stuff that may want to make you yell at me/get a tattoo/write fanfic/draw fanart

when I say I'm a longtime tumblr user, I mean it. I first joined the site in '09 (I recently found my first post, which is still up on my first blog which was about me moving from Blogspot. boy, that sure was 15 years ago, huh?) and have had *counts on fingers....runs out of fingers* a lot of blogs on here. this is my main front-facing tumblr, along with:

@dashboarddiaries (a podcast I do with @overchers all about tumblr!)

@breakerwhiskey (a daily microfiction podcast about shouting into the void at the end of the world and hoping it shouts back)

@thebrightsessions (an audio drama about ppl with supernatural abilities in therapy, I've reblogged a LOT of fanart for it on this blog)

@chambersandfogg (a yearly fiction podcast (with monthly posts!) about two rival magicians who discover they're both immortal. the slowest of slow burns)

@maxinemilespod (my choose your own ending YA mystery! not terribly active at the mo, but hopefully will be if/when we do S2)

@bridgewaterpodcast (my spooky podcast I do with thee Misha Collins and thee Aaron Mahnke - again, not active at the mo, but there's lots of great fanart and yes, I'm the one answering asks over there and probably one of the few folks with the login info lol)

I'm going to try to more consistent on here - maybe not as much as I am on my personal (guys, I spend a lot of time on tumblr), but certainly more than I do on twitter. okay. this post has gotten too long. happy we're all here!

[tiktaalic]

got an ad for a podcast about tumblr where the hosts introduced themselves as the last of the classically trained tumblrinas and then said a) they didn’t know a single thing about supernatural but were doing a supernatural episode with zero research anyway and b) they were forged in stucky. GIRL? That was 2014 you were years late to the classical training class. Pack it up dashboarddiaries you will never be bait: a queerbait podcast

a little preview of tomorrow's @dashboarddiaries

[chiefnooniensingh]

I'm listening to @dashboarddiaries whilst having started The Sandman yesterday and I am both horrified and desperately unsurprised that Tumblr has taken to The Corinthian as the "hot one". And i want it to stop.

[gradschoolcryptid]

I learned about the show "For All Mankind" from the @dashboarddiaries podcast, and as someone who's job involves teaching about the space race, I've decided to watch and do another live reaction
