This book explores the intersection of folklore and new media
storytelling in feminist adaptations of traditional fairy tales.
Focusing on the Germanic folktale, the author investigates how
retelling and reinterpreting fairy tales in online fan fiction both
criticizes traditional narratives and reinforces the continued
importance of fairy tales, while also mirroring contemporary
concerns and changes in German-speaking society. Fan versions of
the examined folktales are repurposed to serve new functions within
the communities in which they are told. Within the community
investigated in this book, the stories open an online space where
women can reclaim and reconsider the role canonical fairy tales
play in their lives. Introducing fandom and new media studies to
the realm of oral storytelling and folklore produces a new way of
understanding the importance of communal folklore even in an age of
mass culture. The adaptations traced throughout this book show the
fascinating longevity and flexibility of the folktale and its power
to reimagine the Germanic past into the future.
