The Creativity and Community Behind Fanfiction | Cecilia Aragon | TED
The wildly diverse, thoughtful and hilarious world of fanfiction — where writers reimagine favorite stories like “Harry Potter,“ “Pokémon,“ “My Little Pony“ and more — is ever-growing and becoming a vital social and learning tool. Author, professor and fanfiction writer Cecilia Aragon has observed how this incredible outlet for creativity encourages and empowers young people to embrace their imagination. Detailing her research into the vast online fanfiction community, Aragon shares its potential to foster a sense of belonging, strengthen writing skills and shape the future of literature.
