(Gently) Taking Authors To Task - runawaydr3amer’s “Drag Out From Your Mouth”

If you’ve been listening to the podcast lately, you have heard snippets about Kasey, Dreamer, and Sandra’s collective experience participating in this year’s Wincest Big Bang. Now that the Bang is over, it’s time to reflect on their experiences. So, Dreamer is along for the ride. Find Dreamer on tumblr, Discord (runawaydr3amerao3), and AO3 (runawaydr3amer).

Last up but most certainly not least (or shortest!) to discuss the WBB is Dreamer, with her Unrelated Wincest mega-fic “Drag Out From Your Mouth.” (Check out the song that inspired the fic title.)

(Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings - SA and Non-Con in fanfiction)

You can read the fic on AO3 here. Check out the accompanying artwork masterpost by i_already_know_im_going_to_hell.
