- Title
Why do people create imaginary worlds? The case of Fanfiction.
- Authors
Rodríguez-Fuentes, Bárbara; Ulloa, José Luis
- Abstract
Dubourg and Baurmard ask why people consume fiction with imaginary worlds. We extend this inquiry to ask why people engage in creating imaginary worlds. In Fanfiction, the writing of fiction by fans involves both an immersive creative experience and a very interactive community that may explain the high (social) engagement of people with Fanfiction.
