The Wild World of K-pop Fanfiction

Welcome to Not Your Average Netizens' first K-pop Fandom Forum, special episodes devoted to discussing topical issues related to K-pop in all its intricacies. And we decided, why not start off our first episode with one of our fave topics - fanfiction! Yes, fanfiction has pushed its way out of the dark corners of fandom to become widely recognized as a powerful creative force in fan communities. K-pop fanfics, in particular, have grown more numerous; but is that healthy for the fandom? Is writing about famous idols an invasion of their privacy or an acceptable creative outlet for their admirers? We discuss these issues, as well as reveal what our favorite fanfictions are and you'll find out if any of the NYAN podcasters is writing Bangtan novels on the low. Join us for another fun debate, and tell us in the comments if you read K-pop, what kind, and where!
