Episode 011: Fan Fiction with Kyla Neufeld

In this week's episode, I'm talking fan fiction with poet and editor, Kyla Neufeld. We talk about the popularity and suspicion of fan fiction, where fan fiction fits in the overall hierarchy of fan culture, and the changing attitudes of creators towards fan fiction writers. We also discuss the gender-bias towards fan fiction and the ways fan fiction provides space for fans from marginalized communities to write themselves into their favourite fandoms.
