Show Notes

- This is The End is by The Doors, and Closing Time is by Semisonic.

- The RITAs were amazing, and one of the best things about it was this romance trailblazers video.

- Lila is a face character at Disney.

- Inside the Mouse is a book you should read, or just this New York Times article where John Jerimiah Sullivan (omg. his essays are so good! Read Pulphead!) trying to figure out the best place to smoke weed there. That Banksey video.

- Because Disney is too expensive, #TeamReadsRomance suggests Cedar Point if you like roller coasters.

- Hela's crown in Thor Ragnarok is PRETTY GREAT.

- It's interesting to think about a framing device and what it does for a story.

- Sarah's WaPo piece about the Alpha Feminist.

- All about archetypes and the princess trope.

- The Room of Requirement is part of Hogwards.

- When we talked about time, Sarah recommended Kylie Scott's Repeat.

- Tim Curry as The Darkness in Legend or The Devil in Fantasia.

- We talked about curvy heroines way back at the beginning of this podcast.

- Everything Sian owns is in a box to the left.

- The Beauty and the Beast Library.

- We're all on Munro Watch.

- Thanks to everyone for listening to season one of Fated Mates!
