    Heated Rivalry Book Review: Part 4 - Rose
    2026/06/07

    Declan and Silvan dive into Part 4 of our Heated Rivalry book review series. This is one of the most important introductions in the entire story, Rose.


    We compare Rachel Reid's novel with the TV adaptation, and explore why Rose feels different on the page versus on screen. I’m e discuss how Sophie Nélisse's performance elevated the character and why Shane and Rose's relationship serves such an important purpose in Shane's journey toward self-acceptance.


    Along the way, we unpack the idea of "meeting the right woman," reflect on our own experiences of questioning identity, and discuss how both the book and show portray the pressure to follow a traditional path before embracing who you really are.


    We also spend time breaking down the club scene, from wardrobe choices and celebrity culture to the emotional tension between Shane and Ilya. Does Shane and Rose's whirlwind romance feel longer than it actually is? We dfiscuss if Rachel Reid missed an opportunity to explore Shane's perspective more deeply during one of the story's most pivotal moments.


    This episode is packed with character analysis, adaptation comparisons, personal reflections, and plenty of tangents about dancing, fashion, skinny jeans, and why Rose remains one of the most beloved characters in the Heated Rivalry universe.


    The next episode of the podcast will be published on Sunday 14th June.

    Heated Rivalry Fan fiction Part 2: Angst, Tropes & Emotional Damage
    2026/05/31
    Declan and Silvan are joined by Jenn from the Book Refuge for Part 2 of our Fan fiction and AO3 episode. We go deeper into the world of AO3 and fancition. We cover tags such as hurt/comfort and soulmate Alternate Universess to secret marriages, social media disasters, and the infamous plane crash fic. Jenn guides us through the stories that have captured the Heated Rivalry fandom's imagination. We explore why readers are drawn to angst, whether suffering makes a love story more meaningful and how fanfiction allows us to revisit beloved characters in entirely new ways while keeping the original story intact.We also unpack the difference between canon, fanon, and headcanon, discuss why some fanfiction can successfully transition into traditionally published novels while others lose the very thing that made them special and debate what makes readers emotionally invest in a story in the first place.Jenn puts us to the test with a fanfiction recommendation game, where we rank a selection of Heated Rivalry fanfics based only on their summaries. Some are romantic, some are chaotic, some are surprisingly emotional and a few leave us wondering what exactly we've gotten ourselves into.This episode is a celebration of fandom creativity, storytelling, and the many ways readers keep Shane and Ilya's story alive long after the final page.The next episode of the podcast will be published on Sunday 7th June.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Fanfiction and AO301:46 Exploring Heated Rivalry Tropes07:22 The Community of Fanfiction Writers11:20 Understanding Gender Dynamics in Romance18:09 Recommendations for New Readers of Romance18:39 Exploring Romance Preferences20:56 Character Connection in Storytelling23:40 The Value of Emotional Stakes26:33 The Role of Antiheroes in Fan Fiction29:03 Transforming Villains into Heroes32:25 The Impact of Fan Fiction on Canon35:55 The Appeal of Catastrophe in Stories39:57 The Creative Process in Fan Fiction42:46 The Challenge of Traditional Publishing45:24 Understanding Canon vs. Fanon51:40 The Separation of Fan Fiction and Traditional Publishing01:08:00 The Fallout of Public Breakups01:11:01 Fan Fiction and Social Media Dynamics01:13:58 Exploring Alternate Universes in Fan Fiction01:19:36 The Complexity of Relationships in Fiction01:23:44 The Appeal of Fake Relationships01:28:42 The Intrigue of Cheating and Open RelationshipsJoin our Long Game Podcast Book Club on Fable to read along with us each week.: https://fable.co/club/long-game-pod-book-club-with-long-game-pod-349252537194?invite=fc285de0-86ea-45c4-ab3f-8dcc82b8cad8&referralID=4tVUzsxlCCFind Jenn:Instagram: thebookrefuge18Youtube: TheBookRefugeFind us on instagram: longgame.heatedrivalry.podWrite to us: longgamepod2481@gmail.comFind Declan: Instagram: declan712Tiktok: declanmccallion1Find Silvan:Instagram: SilvatesTiktok: silvates1Listen to the Podcast on:Apple podcast: Spotify podcast: Amazon podcast: Watch it on youtube: https://youtu.be/ua60zP9zahkListen to Silvan’s ‘Silvates’ podcast here:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/silvates/id1531620495Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2xMX59teVzpf6M86Cv7WG9?si=016f5477aed14697Fic recommendations we spoke about in this episode:Mutually Assured Exposure: https://archiveofourown.org/works/77434821/chapters/202760196 Slipfast: https://archiveofourown.org/works/73643456/chapters/191997696 The Game Plan: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42797457/chapters/107510184 Something You Can Fix: https://archiveofourown.org/works/76495636 Shane Hollander is dating a nice man from Montreal: https://archiveofourown.org/works/77871996/chapters/204023421 If This Is It: https://archiveofourown.org/works/80245286/chapters/210674496
