Summary
This reprint of our Special Issue on the past, present and future of fan 
fiction explores how digital culture and changing fan practices have 
helped to transform what was an already transformative genre. Experts in 
the field interrogate the form and nature of fan fiction today, as the 
rapidly growing digital world allows anyone and everyone to read, write 
and share their stories with a global audience. The focus is not just on 
established genres, authors or franchises, but also on aspects of social 
and digital media that offer platforms for fan communities to seek out 
and read fan fiction. This collection of essays and a roundtable of 
established scholars in the field serves to remind readers that while 
all fans enjoy the story worlds created for them, many want to expand 
and create their own.
