Abstract

This article presents the quantitative differences in the content of author's notes, treated as an act of communication, in Polish Harry Potter fan fiction on FanFiction.net and Archive of Our Own. It shows the influence that additional communication mediums and tagging systems have on the fan fiction, as well as on users' habits, story length, the visibility of archive tools, and rules.
