Fandom
It’s callback hour! This ep we’re diving into our teenge years of reading and writing fanfiction, consuming fanart, and living it up in this strange and awesome subculture on the internet. We talk about the power of fanfiction, the voice it lends to its predominantly female and minority authors, and the strange ways it can play with canon, and sometimes, real life.
This episode definitely wasn’t an excuse to talk about homestuck and slash.
