As the digital age reshapes the way we read and write, fanfiction has emerged as one of the most vibrant forms of participatory. Through platforms such as Wattpad, Webtoon, Archive of Our Own (AO3) and Character.AI, readers are no longer mere consumers of stories but active creators, reimagining characters, words, and narratives in ways that reflect their own voices and perspectives.
This book focuses on exploring fanfiction as a powerful medium of digital literature, highlighting the ways in which online platforms and social media foster creativity, collaboration, and community. It aims to help students, educators, and enthusiasts understand the structures, genres, and cultural significance of fanfiction, while also offering practical guidance on reading, writing, and publishing in the digital realm. Through examples, discussions, and assignments, readers are encouraged to analyze existing works, experiment with different forms, create their own original pieces inspired by fandom culture.
