What is fan fiction? Where did it come from? Why do people read and write it?

This module will explore fan fiction as a platform, independent of any particular universe (although we will touch on several, based on student input), including its origins, conventions and techniques, purposes, and the opinions of a variety of different stake holders: authors, show creators, and legal experts among them. If there’s time, we may even try writing some of our own! Students will complete this course with a high-level understanding of fan fiction as genre, community, and as a transformative response to the source material.
