Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the methods of citing primarily internet genres in stories publishedonline, based on Imagined’s English fan fiction Like-Hate-Love, in which the author, thanksto the possibilities offered by Archive of Our Own website, imitated the genres both by imagesand text. The latter is used also to show internet genres in print which allowed to describesimilarities and differences in presenting them between print and web publications. Bycomparing the genres included in the story (posts and comments from social network sites,SMS instant messaging) with their definitions, I show that regardless of the publicationmethod the most faithful elements of such imitations are structural and pragmatical aspects ofgenres. Presenting these genres through an image, which happens more often in online texts,allows one to more fully show these two aspects, including two characteristics of internetlanguage, i.e. multimodality and interactivity.
