In GBA 237 we get better acquainted with Muffy. We met in a pub in Brighton to have an in depth conversation about fandom, fan fic and slash fic. We cover how Muffy came to fandom, community, shame, enthusiasm,. ethics and politics, art and artistry, gender and sexuality, working through trauma, how texts, fanfic and fans relate to each other, representation and so much more.
