Episode 81: The First Pioneers of Archive of Our Own (w/BrightneeBee)

Canonically Incorrect

Fanfiction reader, writer, and survivor BrightneeBee joins a lone Sydney to talk about how fanfiction has gone places she never thought possible, the atrocities of Critics United on FanFiction.Net, what it was like to be the first handfuls of people invited to join Archive of Our Own at its infancy, and tells the newbies of fanfiction and fandom how to join a space such as this one with the same care and love that was used when building it. Plus, Sydney and Bee share their love of the Mary Sue character. As always, send us your fic recommendations, or reach out if you are a fic author who would like to be interviewed in the future, at [email protected].
