Abstract
In contemporary Japan, hundreds of thousands of girls and women participate in a spiral process of reading-writing-reading through the practice of do-jinshi manga and fiction: reading stories, re-writing those stories, and in turn having their re-written works read by others.1 In this chapter I will relate this contemporary practice to the intertextuality found in earlier sho-jo texts in various media.2 Here I examine texts in the category known as “yaoi ani-paro,”3 which bears some resemblance to English-language slash.4 Specifically, I will examine fan fiction based on the Harry Potter imagined universe, purchased at the two large Comic Markets in Tokyo in 2004.
