This paper discusses one of the productions of one of these genres that emerge from digital
culture, fanfic, which became popular in the 1960s and 1970s through Science Fiction (SF)
fanzines, especially Star Trek fanzines. Fanfic is understood as fan-to-fan writing that aims to
provide continuity or an alternative ending to the characters of their favorite universe. The
fanfiction Right Place, Right Time, a fanfic by Amanda Maloes about the singer Shawn
Mendes, was defined as the object of study of this work. The objective of this work will be to
analyze the processes and elements of figurativeness of the central characters, in addition to
seeking to interpret the “enunciation marks” chosen in order to give veracity to the narrative.
The methodology of this work takes place in a bibliographical and documental way, focusing
on the semiotic analysis of the French line. For that, we resorted to studies proposed by
Barros (1999; 2005), Fiorin (1996), Greimas and Courtés (1979), among others. Despite the
variety of themes and styles, we sought to observe what may be a recurrence of writing in the
genre, close to what Barros (1999) calls pink literature.
