Episode 14: Beyond fan fiction

Good Librations Podcast episode 14 Fan fiction

We're back for another month with another journey behind the literary curtain!

This episode we dip our toes into the sometimes muddy but always fascinating waters of fan fiction and LitRPGs.

Come along with us as we discover which of Shakespeare's plays is fanfic, what Kirk and Spock have to answer for, and look at the increasing impact of gaming on literature.

Find out all this and more in this month's episode of Good Librations.
