Abstract

The article from Wake Forest University explores the intersection of fanfiction, television content, and fan practices, focusing on the specific case of Real Person Fanfiction (RPF) highlighted in an episode of HBO's Euphoria. The research analyzes the reactions of different fan groups to the portrayal of fanfiction in mainstream media, highlighting how fans navigate contested practices and regulate behavior internally. The study sheds light on how idealized fan performances can be both weaponized against fandom by mainstream culture and used internally to mediate behavior. [Extracted from the article]
