Résumé

The multimodal gerne fanfictions have been one of the commonest cyberliterary texts produced on the internet. However, the various definitions of fanfictions seem not to be related to the cyberspace (JENKINS, 1992; TUSHNET, 1997; PUGH, 2005; THOMAS, 2006; HELLEKSON, 2014; COPPA, 2017). Therefore, the first objective of this article was to identify the students’ actual concepts about fanfictions (VYGOTSKY, 2004, 2007). The qualitative data was collected in a fanfictional creative writing (FCW) course. This course was organized and taught based on the Vygotskian sociocultural theory. The second objective was then to analyze if the FCW course did help its students broaden their concepts about fanwriting. As a result, the FCW students displayed signs of syncretizing, complexifying and conceptualizing about the fanwriting process.
