Then began discussing the concept of Fan Fiction. The club's Organizing Secretary, Ms. Jhilam Chattaraj, first talked about the recent phenomenon that fan fiction is, and how it has changed the way modern readers, writers and movie-goers view pop culture these days. We then talked about how fan fiction has made activities like reading works of fiction or watching movies and TV shows, an inclusive experience, where the creative process flows into the viewer, making them come up with alternative or complementary story lines of their own.

When someone is deeply engrossed in a literary form, they are captivated by the characters so much that they write their own story with them. The members of the Club talked about many critically acclaimed series and movies and suggested their own versions of it. We listened with great attentiveness, improved our stories and widened the boundaries of imagination.
The debate over whether or not fan fiction is "real literature" was also touched upon. However, irrespective of the category we put this modern genre of literature into, fan fiction is here to stay. A work of creativity enhances our own creative abilities. Fan fiction arises from this creative sphere, and enables viewers and readers to connect better with not just the original work of art, but also its other followers all over the world, just like it allowed the members of the club to connect with each other, and discover similar passions.
Fan Fictions Galore!
