Christmas Special: We Read Tom's Fanfiction ⁠— Chapter 1

As a special Christmas treat this year, we're making a Patreon episode available to all. This is the first instalment of our reading/writing of Tom's rather cringeworthy Waterloo Road fanfic. Enjoy! In 2010, a 16-year-old Tom Beasley decided to post Waterloo Road fanfiction on the internet. Little did he know that, more than a decade later, he'd be re-reading it to cringeworthy effect on a podcast while questioning his career choices as a professional writer. That's right! This new Patreon series delves into the two existing chapters of the short-lived fanfiction Rimmer's Return, in which Jack Rimmer flies back to the UK to take the helm of a new school — only to be shocked by the arrival of faces from his past. In this opening chapter, we learn exactly how long Jack has been away and meet a potential problem pupil at the new school. ----- *** If you want to subscribe to the PATREON page and hear the other fanfiction episodes, visit http://www.patreon.com/waterlooroadpod/ for full details.
