Jael and Lin are joined by queer romance author Alli Temple to talk about two popular fandoms: Taylor Swift and the K-pop group Stray Kids. We chat about creating a community of fans, presenting an authentic version of ourselves, and the power of merch.
Alli Temple is an indie author with 18 queer fantasy and romance titles published since 2018. She thrives on chaos, feelings, writing on instinct, and talking to anyone who will listen about kpop, kdramas, and her adorable pack of rescue pets. She lives with her very patient husband in Etobicoke. (allisontemplebooks.com)
