Praktik Menulis Fanfiction sebagai Sarana Literasi Digital untuk Pengembangan Keterampilan Menulis Kreatif Mahasiswa Pendidikan Bahasa dan Sastra Indonesia
Keywords:
creative writing, digital literacy, fanfiction, writing constraints, writing strategiesAbstract
This study aims to describe the practice of writing fanfiction as a form of digital literacy and its role in
developing creative writing skills among undergraduate students of Indonesian Language and Literature
Education (PBSI) at Surabaya State University. Using a qualitative case study design, the research involved 19 students who have experience in writing fanfiction. Data were collected through an open-ended questionnaire that explored the types of fanfiction chosen, obstacles encountered, and strategies applied to overcome these obstacles. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings show that Alternative Universe (AU) is the most preferred type of fanfiction because it offers flexibility in
exploring narrative possibilities and personal experiences. The main obstacles faced by students include
technical difficulties in structuring narratives, limited ideas, time management problems, low
motivation, limited access to relevant references, and challenges in conveying emotions. To address
these constraints, students employ various strategies such as regular writing practice, reference
exploration, structured time management, and seeking support from online communities and academic
environments. This study highlights fanfiction writing as a meaningful digital literacy practice that can
be integrated into creative writing pedagogy for prospective Indonesian language teachers.
