Fan fiction

First of all, the most controversial quality of fan fiction is its transformative nature, which is the most important factor of fair use. In accessing the first factor of fair use, it depends on whether fan fiction can promote and contribute to the progress of the original by transforming and adding new insights and understandings (Leval, 1990). Fan fiction is transformative as it creates multiple situations for the characters and reflects new themes. According to Nolans (2005), fan fiction can be categorized into imitating the tone and style of the original sources, fulfilling the expectations and wishes of the majority of the followers and setting in unique regions or universe. The last two types of fan fiction are possibly to be considered…

The Ivanhoe “fan fiction” by Billy Adams describes a situation where Isaac and Ivanhoe escape an unfamiliar “figure” coming at them. In the story Isaac takes down the figure and then he and Ivanhoe continues as planned. This story uses a suspenseful hook, surprising action, and an open ended conclusion to captivate the reader. The fan fiction written by Billy Adams was compelling. The first sentence creates suspense, making the reader want to continue reading the story. It says, “He turns to…

Rising Action Before the climax could happen, there had to be some rising action, and in this book, there were lots of rising action. One of the most important parts, I feel, was when they found out the dinosaurs were breeding, and steadily getting higher. The numbers rose from 238 to 292. Another big rising action is when Dennis Nedry programs the system, as well as the power, to shut down, then steals dinosaur embryos to sell them. His plan fails when he meets a hungry dinosaur, and… gets…

inherited from Japan, including the terms such as “danmei” and “fujoshi”. The different is, Japanese girl subculture started before the Internet age, while the growing up of Chinese girl-oriented subculture cannot separated from the thriving of Internet. Both danmei and fujoshi connect with Japanese Dojin culture that generated in the late 19 century (Wang 2008). “Dojin” in Japanese is people who share the same interest, or fans of…

Fanfiction: On Trial for Kidnapping? While many people find themselves indulging in late night binge-watching or gauging on unhealthy fast food, some would consider their guilty pleasure to be reading fanfiction. Fanfiction is a story written by fans that takes elements from a previously established setting and transforms the already fixed plot into something entirely new. The elements that pre-exist might be characters, locations, objects, or institutions adapted from another source. A…

FANDOM Over the years since television came to the world shows came out after months and years, but over that years some shows got more attention than some others and that started the fandom on mainly shows that ”intrigued them” and that had started the fandom. Now I wonder how were they created and why they were, not just because they just like the show or movie. How were fandoms created and why do people hate them. From what I learned at first, Fandom is a word used to refer to a group…

the show or movie. How were fandoms created and why people hate them? From what I learned at first, Fandom is a word used to refer to a group composed of fans characterized by a feeling of empathy and chat with others who share a common interest. Also, I learned that in the fandom there are people that hate it, ridicule, to absolutely hate it because what they see to them it’s just a piece of crap.…

already there 's are negative connotations associated with "fandom" (which consists of taste, class and gender) the actors dressed like stereotype 'nerds ' as in wearing glasses, acting like shy and wearing Star Trek memorabilia e.g . We answered some questions that were given to us in the lectures for instance "what are the production team trying to about fandom" I wrote that it 's was an easy to follow so you could become a fan of the show easily, gatekeeper - so it 's easy for a fan to…

According to Wikipedia's general definition, a “fandom” refers to a group people whom are fans of a certain form of entertainment (i.e. a book, TV show, movie, etc). These fans are not just causally interested; they don't simply have light conversation or discussion of their favorite show/movie with friends and family, these fandom members are more obsessive than that (Wikipedia). They will obsess over the minor and most smallest details of the plot or of a certain character and want to expand…

brings in their fans and that can in turn lift them to the status of heroism. I feel it is not just the natural ability of the entertainer that elevates them to the status of hero but also their ability to relate to their fans and have a positive impact on their day to day life. I agree with Klapp in his argument that the fans elevate the individual to the hero status after they have acted early in their career. What keeps them in that…
