– Fake Don Draper (in my book, the only real fake Draper), in response to the dust-up over Mad Men fan fiction in Twitter
I like the idea of Draper calling out the writers of this shitty fan fiction not for infringement of intellectual property, but for artistic ineptitude. (Have you looked at it?...
