In Episode 53, Elizabeth and Flourish discuss what could be called “stealth fandom”: subtle cosplay, non-narrative ways that people feel close to their favorite topic or story-world, all the tiny things that remind people of their fandoms (even if they don't make sense to anyone else)—and how that differs from official merchandise. They also answer a pair of listener questions: one about whether one should seek permission to write fanfic of someone else’s fanfic, and one about monetizing fanart—but not fanfic.
