All the Young Dudes | Summer FanFic Book Club | "From this day forward we are marauders."

Hot fandom summer starts now: we launch our “In Deep Ship FanFic Book Club” summer series with the AO3 juggernaut All the Young Dudes by MissKingBean89. Across six episodes, we'll dive into the Marauders-era Wolfstar ship (Remus Lupin/Sirius Black). We start off with a look at the Marauders fandom as a way to revisit the Harry Potter world ethically, discuss fanfic’s appeal and discourse, and note the fic’s massive scope (about 500k words) and upcoming publication. Covering chapters 1–30, we'll talk about the Marauders' early days at Hogwarts. We'll also introduce segments where we rate our anxiety levels, measure how shady everyone's least-favorite rat is behaving, learn what is canon vs. fanon, and our visit our most important metric... the cry count.This week's art is by @kateroning.
