It's time to truly understand the secret behind such a massive phenomenon as "fanfiction." Millions of readers around the world are captivated by it, so what's the secret behind its fascination? To explain, the author will guide you through the tangled labyrinths of the human imagination and show you how we read books, why we become attached to fictional characters, why we rewrite familiar stories, and how culture continues to live on long after the final period has been written.

With this book, you will understand:
- what fanfiction is and why it can't be considered simply amateur literature;
- how fan practices are connected to classic works – from Jane Austen to Leo Tolstoy;
- why fanfiction helps us understand the psychology of reading;
- how fanfiction influences contemporary literature, cinema, and popular culture;
- what it can tell us about our memory, imagination, and the future of education.
Why are you also part of the fanfiction community, even though you may not realize it?

Culture is constantly changing, and it's time to dive into a new era! Ksenia Romanenko, a cultural studies and education researcher, Associate Professor at the Higher School of Economics, and the author of scholarly works on contemporary popular culture, fan practices, and methods of studying culture and education, will help you with this.
