273: Bad Book Club: Harry Potter and the Methods of Um, Actually
Manage episode 487146252 series 2762858
We're back with our favorite type of gimmick episode: Bad Book Club! Or in this case, Bad Fanfic Club. It's a two-parter where this first episode contains our general thoughts and context on the purpose of the text, who wrote it, and why it's essentially a manifesto wearing a lightning scar and circular glasses. Part two, coming next week, will get into the nitty gritty of what makes it so particularly terrible. If you want additional background, go listen to our recent episode with Adam Becker, where we first hatch the AWFUL idea to read this, and also more information on the author. If you really, really hate yourself and don't value your own time, this fanfiction is available to read for free online. No, I'm not going to link you to it, because I'm not a sadist. You can't say I didn't warn you.
