Abstract
In “Fifty Shades of Butter: Consensual Nonconsent in BTS Fan Fiction,” Raymond San Diego examines a subgenre of self-insert fan fiction featuring BTS. The phenomena of “Y/N” or “Your name” stories is a largely Anglophone genre of fan-fiction videos distributed on social media platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok where images and video clips of BTS members are deterritorialized and become erotically charged when juxtaposed with the author’s writing. Through an analysis of the visual and written texts, comments sections between fans and authors (both celebratory and disapproving), and their transnational circulation across social media platforms, San Diego details the ways in which these fan fictions move away from often-reductive conceptions of consent, enabling a demystification of sexual desire altogether.
