Over the years, I’ve read some truly dreadful fanfiction written by authors with a questionable grasp on human interaction, narrative structure, and mammalian physiology. Even so, no fanfiction author deserves a year and a half of forced labor for what they write!
Well, in Russia, they do just that. 36-year-old photographer and stylist Alexandra Kuzyk has just been sentenced to 18 months of hard labor for writing fanfiction about K-Pop group Stray Kids. So, was the Russian state concerned about copyright, writing skill, or the accuracy of her portrayals of the group?
