Sometimes, fanfiction gets a cult following, just like a band, a franchise, or a TV show. To such a point it creates its own sub-club of fans. On this episode, Lianza talks with Harry Potter enthusiast Lalitha Pamidigantam of YWCA Columbus about a fanfic that was published in 2018, but making the rounds again on TikTok as it surges again in popularity. Plus, Lalitha speaks on why its love and close following is rooted in the story's portrayal of disabled characters.
