What Is TeenDramaWhore?
The original TeenDramaWhore.com: TeenDramaWhore.com is the go-to destination on the web for fans of teen soap operas. What’s going to happen on Gossip Girl? Is The O.C. still on TV anywhere? And how does the new 90210 compare to the original? You don’t have to go to different sites for each of your favorite shows. Find it all out here! With news, exclusive interviews and content, spoilers, polls and more, TeenDramaWhore.com is the most thorough site catering exclusively to the genre of teen dramas.
The NEW TeenDramaWhore: Welcome to the reincarnation of TeenDramaWhore on Substack, the only newsletter for fans of teen soap operas. Much of the above about the original TDW still holds true: I provide a plethora of content exclusively focused on the teen drama genre. This includes analyses of teen drama tropes, reflections on “Beverly Hills, 90210,” “Dawson’s Creek,” “The O.C.,” “One Tree Hill,” “Gossip Girl,” and “90210,” and even interviews with fellow fans.
All Content Is Free — Really
For most of Year One of TeenDramaWhore on Substack, there was a mix of free content and premium content, the latter of which was only available to paying subscribers. For Year Two, Year Three, and Year Four, I’ve decided to pause premium subscriptions. Now all TeenDramaWhores can enjoy my signature “Teen Drama Links” roundups each week, as well as in-depth essays examining the teen drama genre, and even invitations to private online events, like Teen Drama Trivia and Zoom chats with the genre’s key players. And if you’re a subscriber, you’ll get this mix of fun facts, analysis, and commentary delivered right to your inbox. All. For. Free.
But What If I Want to Support TDW Financially?
I’ve always operated TDW at a deficit. For the original website, I still pay for hosting and the domain, and while Substack is free, our private online events do cost money. And, of course, there is the blood, sweat, and tears that go into producing each issue of the newsletter (and that’s not always figuratively speaking). If you would like to support TDW financially or just use your dollars to show appreciation, you can contribute to TDW’s “Buy Me a Coffee” here. No matter what, though, my gratitude for every TDW reader knows no bounds.
Can I Contact You?
Please do! I can be reached via sharigweiss@gmail.com. I welcome all post suggestions and am always interested to know which teen drama topics you want to see explored. And can you do me a favor? If you find any typos, let me know. I may be an editor and a former journalist, but I make mistakes all the time. To make TDW the best it can be, let’s work together!
