A study of fan fiction as a cultural phenomenon: from its origins in Japanese doujinshi to Russian authors who are inspired today by Sailor Moon and Good Intentions.
Why do millions of people read and write fan fiction, rediscovering familiar worlds? With this book, you will take a cozy journey into the heart of fandoms: from ancient myths that were retold around the campfire to modern popular universes like Supernatural or Chinese novels. You will learn how fans save heroes from sad endings, create alternative realities and turn favorite plots into an endless quest.
There is no dry theory here - only the secrets of fan stories about how to "finish" Harry Potter, add romance to Star Trek or revive anime characters. And all this - with the warmth of nostalgia for the 2000s, when fan fiction was still written on forums. After all, dreaming about a continuation of your favorite story is normal, and fan fiction is not “secondary creativity”, but a way to remain in your favorite story... Forever.
