Written originally as a fanfiction for the series Twilight, the
popularity of 50 Shades of Gray has made obvious what was always
clear to fans and literary scholars alike: that it is an essential
human activity to read and retell epic stories of famous heroic
characters. The Fanfiction Reader showcases the extent to which the
archetypical storytelling exemplified by fanfiction has
continuities with older forms: the communal tale-telling cultures
of the past and the remix cultures of the present have much in
common. Short stories that draw on franchises such as Star Trek,
Star Wars, Doctor Who, James Bond, and others are accompanied by
short contextual and analytical essays wherein Coppa treats
fanfiction as a rich literary tradition, one that has primarily
been practiced by women and sexual and racial minorities, in which
non-mainstream themes and values are expressed.
