MythBreaker: An attempt to change the negative perceptions of fanfiction and fandom communities

The cover of MythBreaker.

This is my graduate project at MA Applied Imagination, CSM.

This project, titled MythBreaker, aims to rebrand fanfiction as a legitimate form of artistic expression, breaking the stereotype by creating a safe space for fans to experiment and innovate while exploring multi-dimensional narratives of beloved characters beyond simplistic portrayals.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
