Yr grls return to discuss everybody's favorite pandemic baby - A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES BY SARAH J. MAAS!
Feyre thought things couldn't get much worse while she was desperately hunting a mysterious wolf to feed her starving family. She was right! Because things actually get pretty groovy once she's kidnapped by Tamlin the Beast/Fae King of the Spring Court (whatever that means!). But then they do actually get worse when she chases her new love under the mountain and has to face a buncha magical trials.
How can a text subvert the dread Mary-Sue? Can we identify genre fiction by its references? IS this a romance?
Order a third El Presidente Margarita - this one is for the Maasholes and greenhorns alike! Spoilers ahead.￼

We're officially kicking off FANFIC-UARY here at Whoa!mance--We're dissecting an Isabeau fav fic in the Castlevania canon. Want to have sex on your period AND fight demons? Fanfic can get you there baby! Want to wander Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages killing Dracula's nigh creatures while watching two characters fall in love? Join us as we follow the winding questions of who's fanfiction written for? What is the earnest/sexy equation that creates the fanfic magic?  Why do we love interacting with texts we already love? Why does fanfic love romance so much?

Is it more than watching characters you love love up on each other? 

Yr grlz are pulling the threads that yoke romance and fanfic and their fans together in a beautiful and now lucrative tapestry.
