The Great Fanfiction Debacle of Anne Rice | I'm a Fan of That!

This week, Holly struggles to chat with fangs in their mouth because we're talking about vampires! More directly, we're chatting about Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire, and the great fanfiction debacle of the early internet years. Strap in you youngin' listeners as Old Folks Vivian and Holly explain how the internet used to be with online chat rooms and the early days of fanfiction and fandom online. We talk about the actual notion of death of the author, and try to explore what ALLEGEDLY happened in the 90s and early 2000s.
