I Do Not Own Gossip Girl”: Examining the Relationship between Teens, Fan Fiction, and Gossip Girl

Abstract

After reading Gossip Girl, I explored several pieces of fan fiction related to the series that were created by teen authors. From these pieces, I observed how teens can use fan fiction to exercise their own creative ideas, align a fictional world with their own, connect with other fans and writers, and receive instant feedback on their work. From these findings, I suggest how teachers and librarians can use this knowledge to support teens that are engaged or interested in the practices of writing fan fiction and writing for pleasure.

“…Además de los ya mencionados estudios sobre Buffy Cazavampiros, existe una amplia literatura académica sobre adolescentes y series de televisión. Por un lado, tendríamos análisis centrados en series concretas como Dawson Crece (Brooker, 2001; García-Muñoz y Fedele, 2011), Glee (Wee, 2016), Es mi vida (Stern, 2013), Sensación de vivir (Rockler, 1999;Simonetti, 1994), Friday Night Lights (Butterworth y Schuck, 2016) Gossip Girl (Land, 2010) o Física o Química (Chicharro, 2012). Por otro, nos encontramos con estudios que priorizan la representación de los adolescentes y sus problemáticas (Guarinos, 2009;Masanet, Medina y Ferrés, 2012;Raya, Sanchez-Labella y Durán, 2018).…”
