Lauren James is a genius. If you haven't heard about An Unauthorised Fan Treatise, it's a serialised story currently online that's inspired by a lot of the MsScribe-esque fandom conspiracy theories/scandals. It follows a blogger as she begins to investigate whether the two male leads on her favourite TV show are secretly in a relationship, but this quickly leads her to discover things she maybe shouldn't.

This story is amazing. It's fascinating to read, especially if you've ever been in a fandom like this one (Supernatural especially), mostly because you've probably seen a situation similar to this, even if it didn't end up going down the dramatic roads this one does. We've seen fans pick apart every social media post from celebrities, speculate wildly about their personal lives, and even do super illegal things just to get closer to them (anyone else remember that time 1D fans hacked airport security cameras to spy on them). Well, I have at least. If you've managed to never be in a fandom that's done all this on a large scale then god bless you because I don't know how you did it.

Other than that, though, James has just written a really compelling mystery. She's using the Internet format to her full advantage, having everything that happens be something that someone is telling you and therefore making it inherently unreliable while also having in-universe commenters who can sway your suspicions one way or another.

I've been reading this story since the second chapter and it's been a wild ride, but god has it been a good one. Would highly recommend checking out, it won't take up too much of your time and it's so worth it.
