In this very special episode, the guys from So You Think You Can Fanon explain what has become a subject of intense fixation for them over the last year: a series of self-published novels called Chain of Memories that amalgamates the author's favorite parts of several different movies, video games, and anime pretty much verbatim from the source material. Why is this series so fascinating? Why hasn't this author gotten in trouble with the copyright holder? Why are there neither quotation marks nor pronouns in any of these books? We don't know, and we probably never will.
