In the face of media convergence, modes for production and dissemination of the contents have changed. Writing and reading practices also have changed in this context. On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that individuals surrounded by media show a new position due to dialogues established with them. At the current juncture, standing out the transmedia storytelling, emerges a new context regarding the production of contents on the fruition of the subject. This individual starts being an actor, but, actor of his/her own history, which are characterized by traces of an existing one, as is the case of fanfictions. Therefore, this study aimed to discuss fanfictions in the media convergence context, transmedia storytelling, in order to show the emphasis to the education field.
