Description: The studies about creativity have increased since 1996 in Brazil. This is partly due to its teaching and learning reinforcement by the Brazilian government through the Brazilian Law of Directives and Bases of National Education. Based on this law, creativity is apprehended as a fundamental cognitive skill for today’s world, and it requires systematic learning and constant practice.

The proper development of creativity should happen in all levels of learning (primary, secondary, and tertiary). In relation to the tertiary education, many researchers have demonstrated the importance of improving undergraduate students’ creative skills by providing the adequate teaching of creative writing. But how can Brazilian teachers teach creative writing adequately, if there is little research about it in Brazil?

For this reason, the motivation of this research was the conspicuous lack of studies related to teaching and learning of fanfictional creative writing, especially at Brazilian Languages and Literature Universities. In addition, the conduction of this research has also opportunized the exploration of data collection methods that may be used by researchers of creativity, fanfictions, and creative writing in future investigations.
