In this State of the Field episode, Amy and Sarah start a new miniseries on the unconventional and ungovernable world of fanfiction. What is fanfiction and how does it differ from just another adaptation? Why do people write fanfiction and where do they publish it? Can fanfiction ever go mainstream? And how do authors feel about it: a contributor to canon, free publicity, or a copyright nuisance?

In this episode, Amy and Sarah are back in the Regency-era but with Julia Quinn's The Duke and I, things are a whole lot steamier. If you loved the Netflix series or are generally a fan of more dialogue than plot, then this is the fake-dating romance for you: it's got duels at dawn, hot gossip, more siblings than you can count, and very questionable sex education. Grab a cuppa (or a snifter of brandy) and get comfy, we have much to discuss.

In this State of the Field episode, Amy and Sarah discuss the sudden increase in book-to-screen romance adaptations. The rom-com might be dead, but the 2020s are full of filmic fancasts of your favourite romance fiction. How can you judge a good adaptation from a bad one? How similar to the original should a movie or tv version be? Is it fair for fans to cry when they have their hearts broken? And should we be striving for accuracy or authenticity when reshaping a story for a new audience?
