I wrote World of Riverside fanfiction before I got hired to write and produce on the prequel serial Tremontaine. To celebrate the release of the season 1 hardcover and paperback, I wrote a little bit about how that happened, why it’s weird, what fanfiction does better than many traditional literary spaces, and why doing both makes me a better — if sometimes super socially awkward — writer.
