Episode notes
Attention class: It's time to put on your gay binoculars and your tin foil hats, because this episode is all about the wild world of real person fiction. Using Larry Stylinson as our case study, we'll be dissecting this often contentious part of fandom culture, and attempting to answer questions such as "is RPF ethical?" and "do we care about celebrities' feelings?" Here's hoping Mr. Tomlinson doesn't try to get our podcast shut down!
