What is it about fan fiction that we love so much? For my friend Mackenzie, it means getting some peace of mind and answers to unanswerable questions. It also means praise for writing ... but maybe not so much for reading? This episode has stigmas, music, and more - oh my!

This episode of W&W takes us all the way to Portugal to discuss Fan-fiction with my friend Vanessa (aka Vilindeer on A03) Stay tuned for a recipe for writing the perfect one-shot. Blended nicely with a dash of bilingual writing ability and topped off with a discussion of fan-fiction  as a marketable skill. It's perfection.
