Next, we are talking about fandoms and fanfiction at Page Breaks: what they are, what they mean for the people who are apart of fandoms and those that read fanfiction, and what happens to literature through fanfiction.
Thank you to Georgie Rowe and Kit Richards for taking the helm this week with the reading suggestions, they will also be leading the session. We’ll watch one short video essay and read one article to open up the topic. See you there.
