The practice of writing fan fiction and tutorials for fan fiction writers is situated in its broadest of contexts by the creation of fan fiction published on the Internet. It applies to the reception which the texts receive from the pop culture circle, often under the sign of the bestseller. These „steps” can be seen as the practice of reading and writing about the works published and recognized amongst the readers. The effects of fansite interpretive work exceed the wildest of expectations. Amateur short stories, poems, video clips which somehow spring up around the original work, comple-ment it, function as errata or an afterword. Fansite text takes the quality of an individualized presentation of source reception and demonstrates its importance for the fan. It turns out that the prototype stirs the imagination to such an extent that one has to “rewrite” it anew, deepen the selected plots, unveil some mystery, change the viewpoint, accept a perspective of a supporting character. The author of fan fiction wishes to live the story once again but on his own terms, which creates a contextualized reading of the original.

The work within fan fiction is proof of creative and critical reading at the same time (Jenkins 2008, 12.09.2013). Its results – fan fiction stories, in the sense of – proof from reading, are posted on literary forums and in blogospheres. Fans – both authors and critics, have developed their own vocabulary to talk about them. In many of the comments it is visible how strongly the legitimacy of the text and its implied opposition to the source text is negotiated as well as how complex conditions a fan fiction text must meet.
