Fan Fiction - A Review

Papova interviewed readers and writers about what all this meant in terms of real world implications. Fan fiction communities provide a space where readers and writers can make issues of consent and its representation in main streat media visible. In particular, when the sexual situation depicted in the story includes elements of ambiguous or dubious consent, or as a depiction of rape,. Both readers and writers use the meta data around the story, such as tag warnings and authors notes, to determine whether these elements are deliberate. This stands in contrast to the kind of unsuccessful attempt to depict consexual sex that we saw fan fiction critics criticise for being problematic.
