Emma, Tabitha, and Maura chat about two of their favorite things: TikTok and fanfiction.

New to fanfic? Or maybe you’re an AO3 pro. Either way, welcome! We’re getting into the academic weeds with the history of fanfiction: what it is, what it’s become, and where it’s going. Also learn about our obsession with Supernatural and Dramione. There might also be a shout out to Dark Angel if you squint.
