Big Name Fan

When two A-list celebrities famous for their on-screen chemistry as TV detectives (think: sapphic Mulder and Scully, or queer Rizzoli and Isles) are reunited to investigate a real-life Hollywood murder, fans who have been ‘shipping the leading ladies for years might just get the ending theyÂ’ve always wanted…Bexley Simon and Sam Farmer arenÂ’t detectives, but they play them on TV. Well, played, past tense. The iconic cult hit that was CravenÂ’s Daughter ended five years ago, and their friendship died along with it. Fans were disappointed that the pairÂ’s legendary chemistry went unfulfilled—and crushed that the actual spark between actresses Bex and Sam didnÂ’t pay off, either. The network never intended for two women to get romantic, in life or onscreen, despite the fans. But the bigger tragedy was the loss of their dear friend, makeup artist Jen Arnot, whose accidental death cast a pall over the seriesÂ’ last episodes.Now the network has decided on a reunion special, and Bex and Sam are thrust together once more as hosts of a rewatch podcast that will feature favorite episodes. Their first guest—a megawatt star who played a murder victim early on—drops a bombshell. Among the millions of pixels of fanfic written about the show online, one truly prolific author, known in the fiction world as the showÂ’s Big Name Fan, was an insider, almost certainly someone from the cast or crew.As the podcast moves along—and the spark between Bex and Sam threatens to burn down the studio—the pair realize theyÂ’re faced with two actual mysteries: Who is their Big Name Fan? And was JenÂ’s death an accident, or did someone want her dead? Sifting through clues as they question cast and crew, the duo will need to separate fact from fiction as they make their personal partnership into unmistakablecanon . . .
