“Fanfiction,” according to Christopher Shamburg in English Language Art Units for Grades 9-12 “refers to the cultural phenomenon in which fans write and share fictional works based on the stories that capture their interests” (Shamburg 49). Scenario : Imagine that Tony Earley published his novel “Jim The Boy” without writing the final chapter. The publishing company received an overwhelming response from his fans to re-publish the novel with the last chapter. Earley told the publishing company that he was “totally over writing novels “ and will only consent to re-publish “Jim the Boy “ as a graphic novel - he was also out of ideas. So, the publishing company sent out a “Call For Comics” to his fans to create the final chapter. Your Task: Create, using Pixton’s comic creating website (link on the left), the last chapter of “Jim the Boy.” Subscribe to this page and create your own page.
