Get ready to fulfill all your fictional fantasies because this week we’re chatting with writer and podcaster, Diana McCallum (she/her), about the only artistic medium that is - for legal reasons - fueled exclusively by the power of fandom; It’s FANFICTION! We discuss the history of the genre, best-selling novels that started as fanfiction, the popularity of slash ships, male pregnancy, and all-werewolf universes, what ‘whump’ means, the perils of censorship, and why Anne Rice is probably rolling in her grave right now. Plus, Kyah and Steph share their own forays into the fanfiction world.
