Using the Harry Potter fandom on the platform Archive of Our Own (AO3) as our case study, we combine close reading and computational analysis to examine the narrative features of fanfiction and the rhetorical commentary surrounding it. Our approach models a rapprochement between literary studies and fan studies, offering a new data-driven method for analyzing the relationship between traditionally published fiction, web-based fanfiction, and empirical forms of reader response.  \nFictionality is an amorphous concept. Fiction is not a genre in the formal or institutional sense that accompanies the novel, poetry, or drama. It is a manner of classification that eschews verification but nonetheless makes a truth claim on the world. J. M. Coetzee, for example, categorizes his late works Elizabeth Costello (2003), Diary of a Bad Year (2007), and Summertime (2009) as “fictions” not necessarily to evade the constraints of the novel but to pitch his aesthetic project at  \nMFS Modern Fiction Studies, Volume 70, Number 1, Spring 2024.  \nCopyright © 2024 for the Purdue Research Foundation by Johns Hopkins University Press.

The divisions between the authorial self (Coetzee) and the invented character (Elizabeth Costello, J. C., John Coetzee), empirical history and the imagined event, are blurred in Coetzee’s fictions, but the theoretical location of fiction itself is confined to the cerebral spaces of the book and the lecture hall.  \nBut what happens when the location of fiction moves outside of these curricular spaces and onto the “extracurricular”(Vadde 461) social platforms of the Web? Moreover, how do the uses of fiction change when fans are doing the writing, as opposed to professional novelists? Coetzee is highly attuned to the epistemological status and power of fiction, but his and other postmodern interrogations offictionalityare more self-reflexive than outward-facing and consequently more engaged with the novelist’s own capacities as an author than with the creative capacities of readers of fiction. This essay explores the affordances of fictionality from the point of view of the reader, and more specifically examines the transformations that readers enact on cherished texts when they become paraliterary writers offan fiction on the social Web.1  \nFan fiction is the textual means by which fans assert their imaginative power over foundational works (the canon) and renegotiate the terms set by their original authors. The popularity of this practice has grown exponentially since the birth of Web-based fan fiction sites and the exposure fans have received through them. Digital fanfiction has reignited and widened old debates about author-reader relations and has illuminated the myriad ways in which readers have crossed the authorial property line established by modern copyright.
