Leslie’s version, it’s Rainbow’s version.ĮLM: Which has caused, I think, some anxiety and confusion and…the anxiety frustrates me because it’s like why can’t we just, it is what it is, right? You know?ĮLM: It doesn’t have to be like fanfiction of the…you know what I mean?įK: Which just came out. It was her-ĮLM: Her original take on this concept she had come up with with these characters she had come up with.ĮLM: It’s not Cath’s version and it’s not Gemma T. So in the book, there’s her fanfiction, and there’s also excerpts from the actual books, the quote-unquote “actual,” right?ĮLM: So Carry On, which Rainbow wrote a few years later, was intertextually connected but not any, you know, not really either of those things. And so Cath writes Simon Snow fanfiction and then her ship is Simon and Baz, who’s like…ĮLM: Yes. That’s the heaviest influence, that seems like what she’s riffing on, right.ĮLM: And there are these, Simon Snow is the, the main character. And it’s not a direct, I don’t wanna say it’s a direct one-to-one. So basically the main character of Fangirl, Cath, is a college freshman who had been a big fic writer with her twin sister, and they get to college and the twin sister is like “I’m an adult now and I’m fun, goodbye!” And she’s like “What, but, I’m not, I still,” you know, “I still love fanfiction, I still love this world,” that they had both loved together, which is a Harry-Potter-esque world called “The World of Mages.”ĮLM: Written by Gemma T. You know?įK: Carry On, which is a spinoff book based on a story that one of the characters in Fangirl was writing, and then Wayward Son…ĮLM: OK, I think we gotta give a little more explanation. So Fangirl was sort of the first book that I ever read, really, that sort of presented fanfiction fandom in a way that I was like “Yeah! That seems real, there you go, there we are.”ĮLM: Had you read other books before that, like, fiction that was about fanfiction fandom?įK: Not mainly-it had been mentioned in books. And I believe most of what we’re gonna be talking about falls on the YA side because there are a bunch of her books-she is, she’s a fannish person, she is in fandom, in whatever definition that means, but like, there are three of her books that I would say have more to do with fandom than the others.įK: Yeah. Rainbow, author of books.ĮLM: Some are YA, some are adult. Each author has also written a unique, personalized note addressing BookCon fans.FK: And welcome to Fansplaining, the podcast by, for, and about fandom!ĮLM: This is Episode 112, “Rainbow Rowell.”įK: Uh, I am incredibly excited to have our mutual friend Rainbow here to explain…I wanna know all about her fandom journey cause I feel like there are unplumbed depths.ĮLM: OK so very quickly.
