Abstract

This paper presents a study on the influence of computer-mediated conversation on building a collective fictional writing in the universe of online fandoms. The study focuses on the online interactions of a Brazilian female group of fans that calls themselves Snapetes. This group is formed by adult women who write stories starring Severus Snape, a Harry Potter character. The study verified the migrating of conversation between different platforms, as well as the creative potential of the group to fictionalizing the content of their online conversations. This paper considers two theoretical approaches: the research on computer-mediated conversation, supplemented by studies on fandoms and fan fictions.

Keywords: computer-mediated conversation, migration and fictionalization of conversation, Snapetes group.
