From producer Ciara Gilmartin:
This is a podcast episode about my friend Valerie “Ri” Palladino. She’s a junior at Fordham, and her main hobby outside of school is writing fanfiction. Although the video game, show, or whatever other piece of media she’s writing about changes frequently, Val always has several drafts of fanfiction actively being written at any given moment. What’s more is that this hobby has given her access to a huge, supportive, creative online community with whom to share her work. Her reality of this vast network of creatives is starkly different to the anti-social, chronically online stereotypes that people often have of those who write fanfiction. Ri can provide a unique view into that world.
