Fandom Friday: Divorcing an Author

My Harry Potter journey began when I was just 3 years-old. Instead of the typical bedtime stories, my dad would read the Harry Potter books to me.

There are so few comic book movies that focus solely women, so it's extremely important to note when they do.

Female geeks, we've all been there. We've all been a part of a fandom-oriented Facebook group that turned toxic due to misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, etc. Ever wished there was a forum where you could geek out without having to worry about the gatekeeping or discrimination?
