Welcome to SEASON 2 of Open Tabs! We're back and starting strong with everyone's favorite subject line: STATS. We've got AO3's ship stats of 2025 to discuss as well as some very information about who's accessing the website and when from the OTW (Organization of Trasnformative Works) themslves. We get inevitably distracted when Sasuke enters the conversation - and we're only a little sorry about it.

Welcome to Open Tabs! Tappy's whole new personality is the gay hockey show, government name, Heated Rivalry: the Crave Canada production airing in America and beyond on HBO. We talk about how it came to be, what it started out as (hint - it MIGHT just have been fanfiction) and why its so fucking good. Heads up! This episode may contain spoilers for the first three episodes of Heated Rivarly.

Welcome to Open Tabs! IT'S THE OMEGAVERSE EPISODE - we've been promising and like a bunch of weird looking storks, we're delivering! And to make things ever more fun we've brought on our friend Shivam, you might know him from his work in the Magic the Gathering community, with the Dragonlace folks or his religious essays - He's been a big ol' nerd longer than any of us and today we find out if he can hang with the weird stuff.

(Spoiler alert... he ABSOLUTELY can!)

You can find Shivam here (https://bsky.app/profile/shivambhatt.bsky.social) on blusky and here are some of his myriad projects: https://www.youtube.com/@casualmagicwithshivambhatt
