This fic is a wild roller coaster ride with twists and turns that will keep you guessing. As soon as I started reading, I knew I had to chat with Neilistic and get the inside story.

Some of our topics we managed to cover: her lack of social media, Gabby Windey, calling people "cunt" affectionately, MMA fighters, Nicolas Cage, and so much more. Be advised that there are spoilers for the fic throughout the ep...

I switched it up slightly in light of the current fandom climate. I said, "screw my bi-weekly schedule," and went rogue with this critical conversation.

Remember, above all else, be kind to each other. In the end, we're all here to have fun and read ...

Professor Julian Wamble, I had so much fun chatting with the host of Critical Magic Theory.
