In this week's episode, we have a brief and temporary Michigan invasion! Sheila Coursey interviews friend and former colleague Anne-Charlotte Mecklenburg about her work on serial narratives, from Victorian novels to contemporary pop concert tours, and the way that seriality shapes fan writing and engagement. They also discuss how practices of reading and writing fanfiction have influenced their own pedagogy as writing instructors.
