In this week's Horn Book Podcast, Siân talks with Mackenzi Lee (This Monstrous Thing) about how they found kindred spirithood via The Raven Boys; and about fandom, fan fiction, and 'shipping (there totally should be an apostrophe so shut up). I admire the impulse and envy the enthusiasm but so not my thing. I'm reminded of a book I believe I have recommended here before, Camille-Bacon-Smith's Enterprising Women: Television Fandom and the Creation of Popular Myth, a 1980s ethnography of Star Trek fandom from before the Internet convinced us it was responsible for all such things. (And as Shoshana Flax reminds us in the upcoming issue of the Horn Book, even Louisa May Alcott had dealings with fans displeased with the way things turned out for Jo.) The fanfic, filksongs, and relationships among fans Bacon-Smith documents was eye-opening back then; now it serves also as a valuable picture about how the like-minded found each other before Twitter.
