Sandra and Karlee’s Fantastical FanFic Journey!

Sandra and Karlee wax nostalgic about their fanfic journeys over the decades (yes, sigh, decades). This deep dive episode came from Sandra’s stumble on the YouTube video “The Life and Death of Fandom Platforms” by Casey Fiesler. Give it a watch and check out all the research and reference materials in its description. It’s a fascinating exploration of the rise and fall of various fandom platforms.

Let Sandra and Karlee know what your fandom journey has been like and which platforms you’ve been a part of.

Speaking of fandom communities, if you are a lover of SPN FanFic - and come on, you’ve gotta be if you listen to these two ramble on about the topic - and you aren’t a part of it already, give SPN FanFic Pond a try!
