In Episode 98, "The After Effect," Elizabeth and Flourish talk about characterization and RPF, pegged to the release of the film After, adapted from Anna Todd's massively popular Harry Styles fanfic. What happens when different groups of fans clash over their interpretations of a celebrity—especially when some are interested in trying to divine the "truth" about their fave, while others are primarily interested in personal fantasies? They also answer listener questions about anti culture, fanfiction, and cycles of attention online.
