Episode 47: Grace and the Fever
In Episode 47, Flourish and Elizabeth interview Zan Romanoff, the author of the forthcoming novel Grace and the Fever, about a boyband fan who winds up in the band’s inner circle. Topics covered include vintage Beatles fanfic, the Hanson brothers' tendency to marry fans, fans’ search for the truth about celebrities’ lives, and of course, a discussion about and critique the book. They also discuss a reader comment about Mary Sues and fandom ambivalence towards original characters.
