Summary: It’s an episode a DECADE in the making! Professional fan-artist, freelance illustrator, and all-around lovely person A. Loveunlaced (aka Ada) joins us to talk about being a Professional Fandom Person, the complexity and nuances of fannish experiences, and the intersections of mental health care and transformative works. We are *also* amazed that this episode came in under an hour, lol! You can find Ada’s art (NSFW; all subjects are 18+), their fanfics, and more via their carrd: https://aloveunlaced.carrd.co/ and/or their website, https://www.aloveunlaced.com/ Content Advisory: This episode includes discussions of Harry Potter and J.K.
