fansplaining: elizabethminkel: HELLO I am going to need everyone to pre-order this asap. I finished it yesterday, in advance of talking to @brittalundin for next week’s Fansplaining, and it is SO GOOD I CANNOT. Notable highlights include: The most clear and accessible breakdown of fan/creator interaction I’ve ever read (specifically about a TV show and its predominantly female audience; obviously there many kinds of fans and many kinds of creators) A beautifully drawn and really nuanced group of characters A VERY charming teen f/f romance (Teens. Are. So. Awkward.) A++ mom character, she is a DELIGHT Real variation in fans’ perspectives on fandom/how it relates to creators/canon, something that I don’t think I’ve seen much of in fandom YA novels, which usually hug closely to the protagonist’s view I’m literally going to press this book on every single person who works in the entertainment industry—including those who write about it—but this is also a novel about fandom by someone who’s been in fandom for a very long time. So quick!!! Pre-order it!!! Or request that your local library order a copy!!! (And if you don’t have a specific local bookstore to support, can I recommend this wonderful list of queer indie bookstores with online shops!) After you’ve pre-ordered the book, you should listen to our first conversation with Britta, from last year, to prep for next week’s episode! -- source link
