Episode 29 -A clever quote or abhorrent nonsense, you decide.

This is Fictional Problems, a podcast where we discuss all things writing, in association with Speculative Fiction Ireland. Join hosts Gary J. Martin and A.R. McNevin as they explore a viral definition of the writing process.

"You can create the characters, you design their personalities, their past, their dynamics, and then they refuse to behave the way you plan. At some point, you stop arguing with them and just take notes."

The hosts debate that idea—examining planning versus improvisation, character control, talent, fanfic influence, and the realities of long-term projects—offering practical takes and lively disagreement. Join us.
