Abstract
This paper was written to show the importance of fanfiction through examples and examination, specifically looking into how fanfiction can be used to create representation in many underrepresented communities as well as samples of some of the history of fanfiction. This paper shows that fanfiction is not a new phenomenon but that it has instead been around for centuries. Focused examples are The Inferno by Dante Alighieri, City of Bones by Cassandra Claire, and the marauders fandom.
