The Age of Fanfiction - Manifesting Our Fantasies

We’re living in an age of Fan Fiction. Today we're inundated with new stories that expand on and creatively reinvent old narratives. It’s the era of the reboot, the origin story, the cinematic universe and the spinoff. Period pieces, like Bridgerton, Dickinson, and The Great are remixing history or classic literature to reflect our modern sensibilities. At its core, fan fiction is an exercise in wish-fulfillment -- an act of imagining the world as we'd like it to be. Here’s our Take on why Fan Fiction-esque stories rule the moment and how they empower us to remake life in the image of our fantasies.
