Fanfiction jako przypis – amatorska twórczość literacka na marginesie popkultury
Fanfiction as a Footnote – Amateur Literary Work on the Margins of Pop Culture

Summary/Abstract: Fanfiction, amateur literature based on the works of pop culture, has been an important part of the activity and culture of fans of different fictional works - books, comics, films and series - since the 1970s. Its marginal nature is visible in the verymethod of publication and distribution - it is unofficially and anonymously placedon niche websites. It does not profit anyone or enjoy the recognition of anyone,except for a small circle of other fans. It can be understood as a footnote to popculture, as it is primarily a testimony of reception, a work that exists only in relationto the original that inspired it, and to other fanfictions. The paradox of thisphenomenon is that this imitation does not exclude creativity and transformationof meanings, and the intellectual distance needed to create and receive it coexistswith emotional intensity.
