Fics rewriting from interactions in a WhatsApp group

Resumen

This research aims at analyzing how the interactions / suggestions made by 4 friends, aged between 17 and 19 years, young high school fanfares from a School of the State of Pernambuco State, in a WhatsApp group (WA), stimulate the fictional production of texts in a digital environment and influence the rewriting of Fanfictions (Fics). As a qualitative research, it is a scientific investigation of a longitudinal nature, based on theoretical assumptions related  to Textual Linguistics, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and studies on Multiliteracies. The results show that the Fics producers, in the context of the research, are motivated to produce for interlocutors in real production conditions in digital environments, thus exceeding the limit imposed by the prescriptions of the Portuguese language class, with regard to the production of written texts. The results confirm the influence of the interactions / suggestions of the WA group in the rewriting of the Fics. We affirm that the screen research is considered to be emerging in regarding the linguistic studies, with an emphasis on Fics, and for the contemporary relevance of social media WA, also known as a messaging application.
