    EPISODE 5: Fanfiction and Found Family with Lana (Part 1)

    New Unapologetically notification!  On each episode, join your host, Sharon, to talk about literature and society with a special guest. I’m thrilled to introduce Lana, whom I met on TikTok. Her videos appeared on my For You Page, and I messaged her because she seemed like a lovely human being — and she is! I admire how unapologetically she loves the things she loves, which is exactly what we talk about in this episode: queerness, finding community, and fangirling over Harry Potter fanfiction.
