Join us every week for a trip into the weird and wonderful world of trailers. Whether it’s the first teaser for the latest instalment in your favourite franchise, an obscure preview for a strange indie darling, whether it’s good, bad, ugly or just plain weird – your favourite pop culture baristas are there to tell you what they think.

Fans can be the worst – and the best. On the one hand, fans can be gatekeepers, they can be reactionary and bring out the worst in a franchise. On the other, fans can be welcoming and giving and creative. Last week, Melanie wrote about the joy to be found in fan translations. This week, I’m asking you to indulge me in a trip down Memory Lane, to my own experiences writing fanfic.
