English literature Language Arts Literacy Literature Theater fanfiction fan fiction Shakespeare Shakespeare fans literary criticism fandom Internet Internet fanfiction online fanfiction Shakespeare fanfiction Shakespeare fan fiction This paper explores how fans construct works of fanfiction based on William Shakespeare's plays. Fans situate themselves within the modes of discourse common to online fanfiction communities, and within those modes of discourse, their works serve four primary functions. Writing fanfiction helps to familiarize writers with the content and style of their source texts; it also allows writers to expand upon the events and characters available in these texts; it serves as a medium for subtle critical analysis of texts, which in many ways parallels mainstream literary criticism; and it allows writers to interact with a shared-knowledge community of fanfiction writers and readers. 2008-05-09 English text Marietta College Honors Theses / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=marhonors1210350662 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=marhonors1210350662 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
