Thank you to BRITA for supporting the podcast, helping us keep our deep dives going, and, of course, keeping us hydrated!Check out BRITA here: ⁠https://www.brita.com.au/turnonthetaste⁠In this episode, we dive into why fan-fiction remains a central part of pop culture. To help unpack the intricacies of this space, we turned to some experts. We first spoke to Alessandra Ferreri, Head of Content at Wattpad — and then we asked you, our listeners, to share your own experiences and opinions. From these conversations, we explored two questions: Is fan-fiction positive or negative for fandom culture? And how does Gen Z perceive fan fiction?Timestamps:00:00 Intro3:47 Fan-fiction definition and its origins6:16 The modern era of fan-fiction: the rise of fanzines & pastiches7:51 Fanfiction goes mainstream: Digital fan-fiction platforms9:10 The rise of Fanfiction.net (FFN)11:12 The popularity of AO3 and Wattpad13:45 Interview with Alessandra Ferreri, Wattpad's Head of Content37:04 How fan-fiction impacts young people and how they perceive it38:58 The positives of fan-fiction43:36 The negatives of fan-fiction46:49 Conclusions Find our podcast YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC18HclY7Tt5-1e3Z-MEP7Jg Subscribe to our weekly Substack: https://centennialworld.substack.com/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/infinitescrollpodcast/ Follow Lauren on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurenmeisner_/
