“…For similar reasons, according to Tirocchi (2018), Wattpad is an interesting environment since it is a socializing environment where youth experience peer support and share their tastes, interests, values and feelings, and it is a confrontation and growth area where youth can confront by representing various aspects of daily life and comparing reality and fiction. According to Coelho et al (2019), Wattpad texts can be read and produced both outside of school and in the classroom; however, this depends on how and for what purpose the application will be used by teachers and students in the teaching and learning process, the educational suitability of the text, the technological infrastructure and usability.…”

This study aims to discover the view, opinion, perception and experiences of Turkish teachers and secondary school students towards Wattpad, an online literacy community, to interpret them educationally, to determine the reasons for their use and to interpret the main plot of youth literature on the axis of changing reading perception/behavior and expectations of youth. It is foreseen that the study has comparatively discussed literature-education and new reading types on the axis of the teacher and student, the direct participants of learning-teaching within this scope, and therefore fills the gap in the literature. The research design is phenomenology, one of the qualitative research designs. Data obtained through semi-structured interviews from Turkish teachers and secondary school students were subjected to content analysis. The findings of the study are as follows: Youth enjoy spending long time on Wattpad via their phones and feel themselves free. They think that the application develops reading and writing habits; read and write mainly about love and science fiction; prefer digital reading over printed books and/or classics; comment and criticize books/articles with their peers. Turkish teachers have educational concerns and do not find appropriate for youth to spend time on this platform; because it includes violence, sexuality etc. Therefore, it can be said that there is a conflict and a difference of opinion between teachers and youth.

“…Exceder esos números significa el riesgo de perder la atención del lector, que puede sufrir una lectura cansada a causa de la pantalla, además de provocar la sensación de una historia infinita. Por estas razones los capítulos tienden a ser concisos, con oraciones breves, ya que se diseñan para ser leídos en dispositivos móviles y en lapsos cortos (Farias-Coelho et al, 2019).…”

En el presente trabajo se expone un caso de lectura y escritura participativas realizadas en el contexto de una comunidad de aprendizaje mutuo en soporte virtual llamada Wattpad. Se enfatiza el concepto de cultura participativa que cobra especial importancia en estos nuevos escenarios de creación literaria. Por medio de un método de etnografía participativa se analizó el caso de una escritora considerada una micro celebridad, y una de sus obras con mayor impacto entre los lectores. Se les dio seguimiento a sus publicaciones durante seis meses, así como a las interacciones generadas entre los lectores a través de las aportaciones o comentarios vertidos en los capítulos. Se utilizaron las técnicas de análisis de contenidos, observación y entrevistas a los seguidores y a la autora, para conocer de qué manera la interacción actúa para transformar la creación literaria convirtiéndola en un producto de cultura participativa. Se concluye que, en efecto, estas nuevas formas de interactuar en plataformas virtuales permiten remodelar las creaciones literarias que finalmente se comparten como un producto que gratifica a una comunidad.
