## Resource

Wotcher! This week, Emily and V look at a massively, massively popular and influential fanfiction that blew up during the long winter of COVID lockdowns thanks to... long sigh... #FicTok. Unfortunately, it is a Harry Potter fic. We once again condemn every single goddamn thing JKR says, does, and stands for; however, we must discuss the Wizarding World because we are a fandom history podcast and those books changed, and continue to change, fandom. That said, "All the Young Dudes" by MsKingBean89 is as much about 1970s British queerness as it is about a magical wizarding school, and many of its ardent fans eschew JKR's version of Hogwarts in favor of ATYD's Marauders Era model, claiming that its gay, more nuanced Wizarding World is the "real" magic. Regardless of the politics behind it, this fic draws enough Numbers that it is, undeniably, a force and fandom of its own at this point, and we're gonna talk about it.
