Abstract

Using Henry Jenkins' concept of participatory culture as a theoretical framework, this study aims to explore the themes existent in fan fiction based on the drama. The study employs a thematic analysis approach to examine a selection of fan fiction pieces based on said drama shared on fan fiction websites. Results indicate fan fiction based on "Mere Pas Tum Ho" is a reflection of the fans' engagement with and interpretation of the original work. Fan fiction pieces provide an alternative perspective on the characters of the drama. Fans use them as a platform to express their own ideas and opinions. The study shows fan fiction is a form of participatory culture, as fans actively engage with original work and use it as a springboard for their own creative output.
