Episode 15 - Fanfiction
What is fanfiction? Who is making it? What’s the tumblr apocalypse and how has it changed fan community? And what on earth is a "tag-wrangler"? We talk with scholar and writer Milena Popova about all of these questions, and their research on fanfic and consent, the nature of trusting authors, and who owns stories. We also discuss the digital project and fan-owned Archive of Our Own, which is successfully doing incredible things with its tech, as well as with its culture.
