On our most recent episode, @effietheant discusses her research on self-insert fic (aka y/n or reader x character formats), and the "slip-ups" that fracture the idea of a "blank slate" the reader can project themselves onto. Listen or read a transcript: fansplaining.com/episodes/221-s…

.@effietheant was SUCH a good guest, and I'm so excited to follow her work on this in the coming years. I also highly recommend the TikToks in the show notes...I had a real Back in My Day moment as I marveled at the fanworks young people are creating with their own faces today 😭

If you found something of value in my @fansplaining article about life as a fan-journalist, you can also listen to my guest appearance on the Fansplaining podcast. @elizabethminkel and I commiserated about culture journalism & @flourish kept us on track!

An excerpt from @kaytiburt's article for us this week, "The Fan-Journalist Tightrope," on the challenges of being a fannish pop-culture journalist—which are only heightened when you're covering topics like K-pop for U.S. outlets: fansplaining.com/articles/the-f…

In addition to publishing @kaytiburt, we also had the delight of having her on the podcast. (Which is mostly the two of us complaining about media/freelancing while @flourish desperately tries to interject with things like, "SO AFTER YOU GET A PITCH ACCEPTED WHAT HAPPENS?")

This was a very difficult piece for me to write—probably because, like so many other culture journalists/entertainment reporters, I am in the middle of trying to figure out if this career is sustainable & if this work is worth it. (Still hanging on / Still think it is.)

Today we're thrilled to publish our newest article, by longtime pop culture journalist (and longertime fan) @kaytiburt! On the especially precarious position of fan-journalists in an already precarious industry: fansplaining.com/articles/the-f…

Very weird that our 9-year partnership is coming to an end (will save further 'tribute to Flourish' thoughts til their final ep lol). Fansplaining will transition to a written pub in June (fandom journalists, I will want your pitches!) and ideally become a podcast again later on.
