19th century Dickens fanfiction! Actually more common than you'd think, he had a huge fan following. We've talked about some other historic fanfiction here!
Highly recommend charlieissocoollike's playlist of eloquent, thoughtful videos on YouTube fame and fandom, particularly those by Vicky, neafcy, and Anthony D'Angelo (sociological theory, heyyy). Even if you're not up on teh YT dramaz (no seriously it's horrific and any searches you do into it come with a sexual abuse trigger warning), anyone who is a fan of a ~real life person~ or who is a ~real life person~ with fans should check it out and have a think about perception, image, and difference.
