SUMMARY:

Storytelling has fascinated humanity since forever. Hearing and creating stories is one of the main characteristics that represent us as humans: part of our imagination, culture, worldview and explanations of reality are born from narrative aspects. This process is clearly linked to our constitution through language, to the fact that language engenders fundamental processes of our existence: both social and interior discourse, built in dialogic movement and in discursive arenas. Our involvement with these stories is, perhaps, then, just unavoidable: we love heroes and villains, adventures and inner dives, plots and wordplay. It is therefore not surprising that movements of people who passionately engage with cultural artifacts and form exchange and production groups have emerged: it is possible to trace a line of fan culture to at least 1800. Many people materialized derivative creative productions based on other media, especially after internet 2.0, and today these multiply by millions on sites and platforms exclusively for fanfics and are already on the shelves of physical and virtual bookstores. Fanfics, with this nomenclature, are artifacts of the cultural production of fan movement. There is a huge variety of formats, styles, tropes, that make up the fanfic. A fictional trope or subgenre of these productions is the Omegaverse: a fictional universe created and developed by fans in fanfiction communities, over the last decades, and which has become the center of several discussions and controversies, not only within the fan movement itself, around disputes over representations of body, gender and sexuality, but even in the pages of the New York Times, in a legal dispute for copyright. The aim of this work is to understand the Omegaverse as a dialogical product of the fan movement and to observe the discursive arena and the voice chorus that constitute the critical production in fandoms, in articles in wiki format, specifically those from Wikipedia (2021) and Fanlore (2021), their respective discussion forums and the academic production of fans today published around this universe and its issues, referenced in these articles. The partial results point to the expression of the Omegaverse in its relations with an archaica mainly characterized by science fiction from the 70s and 80s, notably focused on issues of body, gender and sexuality tested to its imaginative limit; its role in the production of ambivalent meanings within the fan movement, sometimes refracting and in open dispute with sexist meanings that permeate our society, sometimes reproducing them: which does not go unnoticed by the fan community, especially a significant part of this community composed of feminist women willing to question such meanings.
