SUMMARY:

Highly popular among teenagers from various countries, fanfiction is a literary text that predominantly circulates in virtual environments, such as self-publishing platforms, and is characterized by rewriting preexisting narratives. Observing the formal aspects of this type of text led to a reflection on the themes addressed in fanfiction: is there a common repertoire among them? Thus, this research aims to analyze the fanfiction Não me deixe sozinho (2014) by Amapa-based author Gabriel Yared to identify the literary repertoire (Even-Zohar, 2013) conveyed by this work. This fanfiction is inspired by the film Hoje Eu Não Quero Voltar Sozinho (2014), directed by Daniel Ribeiro. The research employed a discursive-mediological (Debray, 1993) and bibliographical methodology. To achieve the main objective, the following specific objectives were defined: to understand the concepts related to the universe of fanfiction (fandom) and the slash/yaoi subgenres, and to relate Yared’s fanfiction to two other selected fanfictions, Dormência Juvenil and Ao seu lado, aiming to triangulate the characteristics of the slash/yaoi repertoire. The results indicate the existence of a common repertoire in the universe of fanfiction, referred to as the fandom repertoire, which prioritizes queer, feminist, decolonial, and other critical readings. Fanfiction, as a digital literary text, brings to light topics often marginalized in the source material, such as the expression of homoerotic subtext. Utilizing rewriting techniques (Jenkins, 2015) that expand, revisit, and recontextualize canonical narratives, Gabriel Yared's fanfiction, based on an LGBTQIA+-themed film, employs strategies such as recontextualization, moral realignment, emotional reinforcement, and erotization. These techniques allow the author to amplify their voice and explore the nuances between repetition and difference (Deleuze, 2006) concerning the canon. This study, therefore, contributes to discussions on digital literature, aesthetics, and the role of fanfiction as a form of contemporary cultural production.
