43 | The Ms. Scribe Story and Our Fandom Histories

Katy returns to her fandom roots this week with a tale of no-stakes internet drama: the tale of MsScribe and her rise and fall in the Harry Potter fandom. JK Rowling is trash, but the shenanigans the fandom got up to after the release of Goblet of Fire is DELICIOUS.

But first! MM went on a road trip that was... something. Katy used to cosplay at anime conventions and write Sailor Moon fanfiction, so she feels qualified to talk about internet dramatics. MM and her brother share a love of Star Trek. Let's all have a Duncan Sheik renaissance. MM learns that fanfiction can be a dark place. PA Ollie weighs in.
