Discussion of fan fiction, memes, and social media discourse as an extension of the original media content.
This paper explores the shifting landscape of entertainment content in the digital age, specifically focusing on the transition from "passive consumption" to "active participation." As popular media moves away from centralized broadcasting toward decentralized streaming and social platforms, the role of the audience has fundamentally changed.
