Shipwreck SF

Shipwreck is a San Francisco-based erotic fanfiction competition that pits six great writers against one great book each month. Fics are performed to a live audience by our resident thespian, that we might preserve author anonymity till the votes are tallied. Hosted by Amy Stephenson and Casey Childers.

Dick Van Dyke's British Accent invites you to experience the reunion episode of Shipwreck in the comfort of your earholes. We invite seven formerly dignified writers to take on adult characters from P.L. Travers's series of novels about haunted nannies and talented *ahem* chimney sweeps. Does Mrs. Banks have a first name? And what the heck's a "matchman" anyhow? Can and should you absolutely still be shopping at Booksmith ...

Break out the Cutty Sark and jump in the nearest well: it's time for The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. We take four humans and two animals from Murakami's most iconic book and assign them to six writers tasked with the impossible: creating even weirder sex scenes than the ones in the book. Is naming yourself Malta better or worse than saying 'the loo' after your year abroad? Is Toru the most boring person in all of literature? W...

Hey Whalers, and welcome back aboard The Good Ship Wreck, where we take on possibly the only book with more penis jokes than an episode of this show. We'll talk whale facts, take that smarmy Captain Ahab down a peg, and confess our sincere, unabashed love for this truly unhinged tale of whale vengeance and smokin' hot platonic love. To put it in Melville's own words: “I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it wi...

The main thing that Shipwreck and The Sun Also Rises have in common is that they render sex thoroughly unappetizing and deeply frightening for all parties involved. We hope Sebastian Sangervasi, Adriana Vazquez, Kirstie Haruta, Vivienne Pustell, and Corin Chellberg are enjoying their hangovers from our Pamplona vacation.

You would think that removing the children from A Wrinkle in Time would improve it considerably, but unfortunately that means you're left with religious overtones, a bunch of witches who think they're better than you, and a general sense of being disappointed by your parents. With thanks to Annalee Newitz, Yona Malone, Lily Miller, Molly Sanchez, and Sarah Lyn Rogers for tesser-acting in good faith. Stories performed by B...
