An increasingly popular trend taking over the world of fiction comes in the form of fanfiction or fanfics. Fanfictions are the original
works of fiction based off the works of other established works of art. Fanfiction authors create written works of fiction based upon all types of genres of art including other fiction pieces, television shows such as Supernatural, movies like the Avengers, and video games like Dungeons and Dragons.

Anne Jamison states in her novel, “Why Fanfiction is Taking Over the World”, that fanfiction is “a way of thinking critically about the media you consume, of being aware of all the implicit assumptions that canonical work carries with it, and of considering the possibility that those assumptions might not be the only way things have to be”(Jamison xiii). She makes the point of highlighting how the art of fanfiction is able to allow its users to find the art within art itself.
Benjamin argues the idea that the aura “withers in the age of mechanical reproduction” (cite). He feels that the more and more an object is reproduced the less and less it holds the same original impact.
