This Week In Fandom History
Co-hosted by V. Arrow (@aimmyarrowshigh) and Emily Jaye (@idontgettechnology), This Week In Fandom History celebrates fandom culture’s highest highs and weirdest lows. With which short-lived vampire cop drama was the very first X-Files fic crossed over? Who is Tara Gilesbie? How recently did the Starsky & Hutch Lending Library rent out its last zine? What were Strikethrough, Racefail, LGBTFansDeserveBetter, and Conchobar, anyway? V and Emily trade off some deep-internet research each week to learn and laugh (and sometimes rage) their way through the annals (heh) of fandom history. Come join us!
