Yer Amish, Harry: Discussing Amish & Mennonite themed Fan Fiction

About this episode

The MennoBrarians explore the world of fan fiction, focusing on Amish and Mennonite themed works.

This week, the MennoBrarians do a deep dive into the world of fan fiction. The first half of the ep we chat about fan fiction generally - what it is, perceptions of it, and what fandoms we tend to read from. The second half, we chat about Amish and Mennonite themed fan fictions, of which there are about 200 on the site Archive of Our Own (a site that contains almost 18 million fics). Tillie pulled what she could find into a collection: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/AnabaptistFics&nb...
