Abstract
Fanfiction is a digital literary phenomenon that expands, reinterprets, and challenges pre-existing narratives. This article examines how fanfiction reframes contemporary myths such as romantic love (by proposing relationships more diverse than those in traditional literature); individual authorship (by promoting collaborative writing); and even globalization (through the interplay of cultures, narratives, and languages across digital spaces). By doing so, it demonstrates that contemporary literature is not solely produced by publishing industries, but also by interconnected creative communities. Thus, fanfiction is posited as a historiographic source that, though absent from traditional archives, it documents the desires and conflicts of digitally networked creative communities.
