FAN FICTION! The wonderful domain of art and creativity where all of our dreams about all of our favorite characters come true. Harry and Draco, Luigi and Peach, and more recently Korra and Asami! Korrasami, colloquially, is a popular fandom that has sprung up in the wake of The Legend of Korra. It’s popularity may be indebted to a lot of different factors, but, more importantly, it’s popularity demonstrates the NEED and WANT for meaningful female relationships in media! Join Mike in this week’s Idea Channel as he goes into this and more. And Happy Valentine’s!
