Marcus and April are two people who, for vastly different reasons, have a hard time letting their guard down around new people. Secondly, the romance was extremely lovely. This is the kind of fandom specificity I am here for in fiction.

April and Marcus Caster-Rupp write Aeneas/Lavinia fic for fun and I loved both that general premise and also the specific thing of the fandom believing that one specific character on the show enjoys pegging. I have not lived through half a year of pandemic to answer your quibbling questions about whether Oscar Isaac writes Finnpoe fanfic in his spare time (he does).

Olivia Dade is obviously a woman with a healthy Marked for Later list on AO3 if you know what I mean, 1 and it was wonderful to see not one but two protagonists for whom fandom is a joyful escape. A of all, I loved the representation of fanfic writers. I am very excited about this book but will endeavor to calmly ennumerate the reasons for my joy. It’s not Game of Thrones! But it’s definitely Game of Thrones! Please someone page the burn ward, as I will be delivering Benioff and Weiss to them posthaste! Are you salty as fuck about how Game of Thrones ended? Have you spent time surfing the “Pegging” tag on AO3? (sorry Mom that I am talking about pegging on the internet again) Do you yearn for more fat romance heroines? Cease your peregrinations, your search is at an end! Olivia Dade is here for her you with her latest novel Spoiler Alert, which is all about a fat fanfiction-writing geologist who goes on a date with the star of the biggest fantasy show of our time (who secretly also writes fanfiction).
