This Week In Fandom History

Summer 2000-2003: Harry Potter Fandom and the Three-Year Summer


Listen Later

Icicle?! This week, Emily and V hold a sort of jazz funeral for a fandom event that shaped both of them as human people, and that cannot and should not ever happen again. The Three-Year Summer was a pivotal stretch of time for fandom culture as a whole because a) every fucking person alive was in this fandom, b) the whole point was that there was no canon and the world was wide open for the taking, and c) the Internet was young enough that you could claim ANYTHING on that shit. And we all did! And we all believed each other about it! It was amazing! It was fresh and new! And it has been tainted forever!

We completely understand if you do not want to listen to an episode about Harry Potter. We get it. We'll see you next week. <3

We denounce JK Rowling and her bigotry with every fiber of our beings. Her views, words, and actions are utterly abhorrent and antithetical to everything that we value. She 100% must be deplatformed.
