SpellCast: Episode 13

It's that time of year again, so SpellCast is bringing you a special holiday episode to supplement your celebrations - or help you escape from their stresses. With our second podcast play's debut and holiday filks rounding out the episode, we hope you'll find it as unforgettable as we do.

- We ease into the holiday spirit with an Artist's Corner as Venessa asks Margie (cauldroncakebkr) for tips on holiday baking.

- "Letters and Maps" makes its fandom debut as our second podcast play. It will be available to read on FictionAlley on December 25.

- As a special episode treat, the hosts review two fics for the episode: Lady Ravenclaw's, A Black Christmas and Cedar's, One for Each Night.

Along the way, listen for filks sung by Zorb, Sidney, and Venessa: - Zorb channels the Basilisk for "Change 'Em to Rock" by Caius Marcius; Sidney brings us Lavender's point of view in "Won-Won Baby" by Lilac; Venessa finishes with "Norbert Roasting on an Open Fire." You can read more holiday filks at the Harry Potter Filks site.

Whether and whatever you celebrate, we hope you're enjoying the holiday season. Let us know if SpellCast brought you seasonal cheer at our LiveJournal, MySpace, or FAP forum!
