Bad Fan Fic Podcast

About Bad Fan Fic Podcast

In 2006, a person going by the name Tara Gilesbie published perhaps the worst fan fiction of all time, My Immortal, a goth reimagining of Harry Potter. In 2024, four comedians decided to read it out loud at a party. Then they uttered the seven coolest words in the English language: “should this be a podcast?” Comedians Laura Merli, Rebecca Kaplan, Arielle Dundas, and Amanda Lynn Baez explore the worst fanfiction the world has to offer.
