The Fanfiction Reader: Folk Tales for the Digital Age by Francesca Coppa

By Francesca Coppa

Written initially as a fanfiction for the sequence Twilight, the recognition of Fifty colours of Grey has made visible what used to be continuously transparent to lovers and literary students alike: that it truly is a vital human task to learn and retell epic tales of well-known heroic characters. The Fanfiction Reader showcases the level to which the archetypal storytelling exemplified through fanfiction has continuities with older types: the communal tale-telling cultures of the prior and the remix cultures of the current have a lot in universal. brief tales that draw on franchises reminiscent of Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who, James Bond, and others are followed through brief contextual and analytical essays in which Coppa treats fanfiction—a style basically written by way of ladies and minorities—as a wealthy literary culture during which non-mainstream issues and values can thrive.
