Our guest this week is Dawn, who has been a Starsky & Hutch fan since the show first aired, and who has written a large, long-standing, and eclectic collection of S&H fanfiction. We ask her about her fandom experiences, ponder some puzzling prior-fandom attitudes, chat about our favorite episodes, and learn more about her fic!

Just woke up from a dream where Hutch finds out his (never mentioned in canon) father was Steve Rogers aka Captain America! and I’m going to assign at least partial blame to listening to these podcasts. 🙂
Ahhhh!! That’s a FANTASTIC dream, would read that fic!! oh damn, it’s totally possible, too.
What a lovely episode! Loved Dawnwind’s guest appearance and I found her words to new S&H writers very encouraging. 🙂
Thank you for listening! And yes, Dawn’s thoughts on writing in a possibly-intimidating fandom are so encouraging! I admit sometimes I worry if the fic I’m writing has already been done, but Dawn is right that anything a new writer writes will be THEIR story.
