In Defense of Fandom

Welcome to the first episode of In Defense of Fandom! We’ll be exploring the world of fan creativity, using Supernatural as a lens. In particular, over the course of this short series I hope to show how SPN Family, as the Supernatural fans are known, display a strong sense of creativity, community, and collaboration. I really hope you enjoy this labor of love.
