The world of fan fiction is a world unto itself - another universe of literary imaginings for book-lovers and day-dreamers to explore. While we’re not well versed in fan fiction, with the increase of authors entering mainstream book publishing with a fan-fiction background, we decided it was time to educate ourselves! To begin, we discuss a few popular books and series that were once mere fan-fics. We then share our thoughts on some Harry Potter fan fiction that we recently read. To wrap it up, we dissect the allure of reading and writing fan fiction - and of course, we leave this episode with many more reads added to our ever growing TBR!
