<p>Troubled kids, unite! This week, V and Emily -- well, okay, this week, V basically recaps the Percy Jackson series for Emily, because eighteen years ago this week, <em>Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief</em> was released and fandom got a new fave (good riddance to a certain magical wizarding school). However, V and Emily do have some words for Rick about his complete inability to understand children's ages when creating, say, love triangles, or cool guys. Are you in the PJO fandom? Which Greek god is your parent?</p>

July 1, 2005: Percy Jackson Takes Fandom By (Lightning) Storm

Co-hosted by V @aimmyarrowshigh (I Met You On LJ) and Emily @idontgettechnology (I Ship It), This Week In Fandom History celebrates fandom culture's highest highs and weirdest lows. 

With which short-lived vampire cop drama was the very first X-Files fic crossed over? Who is Tara Gilesbie? How recently did the Starsky & Hutch Lending Library rent out its last zine? What were Strikethrough, Racefail, LGBTFansDeserveBetter, and Conchobar, anyway?

V and Emily trade off some deep-internet research each week to learn and laugh (and sometimes rage) their way through the annals (heh) of fandom history. Come join us!
