Abstract: Fans often express their love of authors or books by creating and sharing fanfiction, a genre wherein fans write new narratives that add to beloved works or take place in existing story worlds. In this article, we describe a kindergarten teacher's efforts to enhance students' foundational literacy skills by combining author studies with composing fanfiction. Pairing these practices throughout the school year can encourage kindergarteners to recognize textual patterns, playfully adapt these patterns, and compose their own stories and art. By playing with literacy, kindergarten fanfiction writers can begin to see themselves not just as readers, but authors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
