Episode 5: Love Letter to Fanfiction with Denise Briggs

When scholars, publicists and critics debate the legitimacy of Fanfiction as a form of Literature, I can’t help but wonder how many great stories are being abandoned or locked away in writers’ hearts simply because of doubt. Who decides which stories have inherent value, and which don’t? The writer? The reader? Or some rich dudes in suits?

This week, I had so much fun talking about Fanfiction with my guest, Denise Briggs, a talented and seasoned fanfic writer. I hope you enjoy our conversation about fanfiction as a form of literature, love and self care.
