LAS NARRATIVAS TRANSMEDIA COMO MEDIO DE EXPANSIÓN DEL FAN FICTION EN LÍNEA Y SUS DERIVADOS

Abstract

This research connects transmedia storytelling as an entity that indirectly contributes and intervenes in the expansion of published material by the fan community through fan fiction websites. It starts from the premise that the fan is emotionally attached with the subject of avocation, and reflected by the high levels of consumption. To prove it, a qualitative method is applied to analyse it by case studies. Fanfiction.net is taken as reference, for being the most representative fan fiction platform. From the main categories on the website (anime / manga, books, cartoons, games, miscellaneous, movies, plays / musicals, TV), each subcategory is selected to observe the activity in a specific period, and thus assess the relationship in regards with the official content being spread. It is obtained as a finding in the observation that the fan community tends to publish more material online every time the official part broadcasts new content.
