March 27, 2024

Tropeisode

Hey baddies! This week, join Kelcie, Addie, and Tiff as they talk about what happens when your favorite AO3 fic gets picked up by a traditional publisher. This tropisode goes through some of the Baddies’ favorite parts of fanfic, how the publishing process impacts fanfics we love, and the true source of inspiration for Crescent City.
