They explore the good and the bad of TV shows including Supernatural, Teen Wolf, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, and more. The essays also touch upon the resulting fandoms and aspects of geek culture such as shippers, cosplayers, and the tight knit communities that have formed due to a shared love of fiction. Fandom and works of fiction have the ability to empower, but they can just as easily tear people down. We're fans. We have FEELINGS. We hope you'll enjoy these essays about them. |
