CarterCat and Co. is a small group of manga purist teachers, oldtaku engineers, 18+ writers, and artists with “opinions” about media. We have been running panels together for over five years, attending cons, and have been part of fan spaces for as long as we’ve known what they are. Led by CarterCat, the aforementioned manga purist teacher trying to wrangle the rest of the group’s strong opinions. We like to use our diverse backgrounds to over-analyze manga, anime, as well as western animation and comics, and hope others can learn something or just have fun with us along the way.

So You Think You Can Fanon is a Midwest-based podcasting/panel group dedicated to covering fanfiction, fanworks, writing, and Fandom. Whether it’s making you laugh with our unique brand of comedy or using our knowledge to break down your favorite works of fiction, you truly never know what you’re gonna get when you come to our panels.
