Send us a textAnd that's a wrap for 2023, folx! Chris and Lore are going on hiatus with some talk of spooky stories, smelly ancestors, five minutes of actual topic, and a whole lot of cracking themselves up. Join us wherever social media is to be had, and we'll catch you next year! Make sure to check us out on Instagram @unrelatedbutpodcast and tumblr @unrelatedbutartwork by jickdraws
Send us a textAre you a ~spicy~ author or hoping to be one? Lucky for you, Christopher has been writing explicit fiction since every fanficcer had their own geocities site. Lore's new to the craft but she's been reading it long enough to have a few pointers to share.Join us for an unhinged exploration about how to write desire, sex and sexuality.

Send us a text Struggle along with Christopher and Lore as they desperately try to stay on topic. After an amusing aside about the rating system of "spicy" scenes and a leisurely walk down memory lane, they finally arrive at the topic of the episode: favorite first lines. Books mentioned in this podcast are: Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen To Kill a Kingdom, Alexandra Christo Jewels of the Sun, Nora Roberts The Only Good Indian, Stephen Graham-Jones She's Too Pretty to Bu...
Send us a textNo matter how hard we might try to avoid it, there comes a point in every story where you simply have to do the worldbuilding. Join us as we map out the basics about the monarchy, the landscape and the general attitude of the people of Aoirlaad.

Send us a text *SPOILER WARNING* If you have not seen Season 2, and have managed not to be spoiled, please note this is very very spoiler-y. It's been weeks now since Season 2 of Good Omens hit our screens and provoked..well, if we're honest, damn near the entire spectrum of human emotions on the way out. In a surprising twist; Chris is full of absolute unending rage and Lore is officially the new driver of the Struggle Bus and has been crying/screaming/throwingup this entire time. &n...
Send us a text Settle in for a longer than normal episode as Christopher and Lore discuss how to create conflicts that work for your characters and theme. Watch them (very, very bravely) read their character studies out loud for the first time. As always if you enjoyed our podcast let us known on Instagram @unrelatedbutpodcast or tumblr @unrelatedbut where we are almost always hoping to meet other writers who enjoy talking too much. Make sure to check us out on Instagram @unrelatedbut...
Send us a text Naming characters is either the easiest or one of the hardest aspects of starting a story. Forget all the world building and plot development, just coming up with the right name for your new OC can feel both terribly exciting and terribly overwhelming. Well, Christopher has a fool proof way to name that character while Lore has a well thought-out way to pick the perfect name. Oh, and we get side tracked about the Sarah Stusek drama. Find us on all our social media...
Send us a textThoughts on the WGA Strike (#HoldTheLine), the industry's irresponsible use of funds and manpower, AI(it's trash, we do not support), and much more. Featuring Lore's angry rummaging and Christopher's food metaphors. Catch up with us on what's going on in the writing world!

Send us a text Hey there guys! Guess who's back? It's us, obviously, Christopher and Lore. We're starting season two off with a new feature and a new project: we're writing a novel! Since writing is one of those things that is best taught by doing, we thought we'd go ahead and put our advice into practice by showing you how we go through the steps of writing a story ourselves. Episode one starts where all good novel writing should start, unfiltered and vaguely ma...
Send us a text An (oddly subdued) conversation about the necessity of exploring all types of human relationships in writing. Featuring a segue about how much Chris and Lore made themselves hate Wyatt Earp (oops), another mini rant about 'She' (also known as Nora Roberts) is definitely one of Lore's favorite relationship-builders, and of course, a bunch of other stuff they can't remember. Make sure to check us out on Instagram @unrelatedbutpodcast and tumblr @unrelatedbut artwork by ji...
Send us a textIn their usual fashion, Chris and Lore *attempt* to talk about a very common idea in the writing world and inevitably end up rambling on about Sheen and Tennant like the absolutely shameless fic writers they are. There is, miraculously, some actual discussion on drafting styles, bless their hearts. Make sure to check us out on Instagram @unrelatedbutpodcast and tumblr @unrelatedbutartwork by jickdraws
Send us a text Join as we discuss the validity of the term Mary Sue and what exactly a wish-fulfilling or self insert character entails. Absolutely filled to the brim with pop culture references (Supernatural, Star Trek, Harry Potter) because one of us simply cannot help themselves. (Hint: it's always Christopher.) Interact with us!

Send us a textPlots can't move if the writer isn't making decisions (and sticking to them). Christopher has her own novel-length ideas about this and Lore is just here for the LOLs.Interact with us!Twitter (Lore): https://twitter.com/UnrelatedBut_Tumblr (Christopher): https://unrelatedbut.tumblr.com/ Make sure to check us out on Instagram @unrelatedbutpodcast and tumblr @unrelatedbutartwork by jickdraws
Send us a text Maybe it was the topic, the lateness of the hour or the unbelievably taxing week we just survived but recording this episode brought out a bit more opinionated chaos than our previous installments. The randomizer chose 'Magic Systems and how to make them interesting' and we managed to squeeze in references to Superman, Captain America, My Hero Academia, Megamind, Good Omens, Supernatural and Serpent and Dove. We hope you enjoy the episode! If you did (or did not) ...
Send us a text Love it or hate it, the thesaurus is in every writer's toolbox. It's knowing how and when to use it that's the trick (and we all know we're at least 58% bullshitting our way through figuring that out). Join Chris and Lore as they discuss the dubious nature of the Thesaurus ; where accents are frivolous, Christopher REALLY wants to start a fight, and the mastery of DreamWorks' 'The Road to El Dorado' remains unchallenged. Interact with us! Twitter (Lore): https://twitter...
Send us a text The randomizer picked a good one this week: live reading posts we found under the writing tags on tumblr (the only social media Christopher understands) and Twitter. Tune in to hear a well thought out, totally on point, absolutely never distracted discussion about the word 'said', paragraph structure, the need for higher education and why you should probably not be flippant about colonization. Make sure to check us out on Instagram @unrelatedbutpodcast and tumblr @unrelat...
Send us a text This go around Chris and Lore talk about writing communities and how to avoid the muddy waters of the dreaded Group Think, how to navigate what kind of critique is right for you, and how super incredibly rude it was for Zoom to cut them off at the pass while they were on a roll. What about, you ask? They're not even entirely sure. Social Media Links: https://linktr.ee/unrelatedbutpocast Make sure to check us out on Instagram @unrelatedbutpodcast and tumblr @unrelatedbut ...
Send us a textJoin us as Christopher and Lore dive into that age old question of what comes first your plot or your character. While we start out 100% convinced that it's always going to be character we sidetrack ourselves with exceptions and an inevitable discussion of first person narration.Instagram/Twitter links - https://linktr.ee/unrelatedbutpocastMake sure to check us out on Instagram @unrelatedbutpodcast and tumblr @unrelatedbutartwork by jickdraws
Send us a text Next Up! An episode about World Building rapidly dissolves into chaos when Chris and Lore's take on the subject turns into the horrors and boons of exposition and how it affects the story. As they always manage to stay off-topic (and will inevitably never get to say as much as they want to) lets call this Part 1 of many.

Send us a text Welcome to the podcast! In this inaugural episode we completely ignore the whims of the randomizer (you'll see why) in favor of an easy topic: Do writers need to read? Well, Christopher seems to think there's definitely only one answer and can't stop speaking in metaphor but Lore provides some solid, real-world supporting details.
