Defending Fanfiction Jay

Is crack fanfiction an art on the same level as poetry? Yes. Join us as we discuss why and then listen to me ramble about other tangentially related things to pad out the hour of audio.

On this forth of July, we discuss the topic of real people fiction and explore the only piece of RPF I've written, that being the illustrious Founding Fathers Fanfiction. 

We also want to talk about the racial inequality and police brutality in the US that is going on today. I think it's important to remember that while the founding fathers were wrong about so much, they did believe in revolution and in fighting for the world you want to live in. So take what comfort and courage that may give you.
