Abstract
V originále
The performed surveys suggests that one of the most active user groups of electronic media - fans of television series, who are often highly qualified electronic media users, create and cooperate on a vast amount of activities (video-clip editing, fan fiction creating etc.) that further enhance their spectator's pleasure as well as the impact of original product. The activities should be supported by nowadays educators. This article will present the case study of Czech virtual fan community of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on both subjects mentioned: fan activities and social communication in virtual community. As regards the age, the interviewed group is not homogenous. It includes both the teenagers and young people from 20 to 35. The socio-economic status of the group is also diverse. Some of them are pupils, other high school or university students, and many of them already have regular income and families. Despite their differences, we can identify their common values, attitudes and purposes in relation to their interest. Before the study, I knew the respondents of this study for more than two years thanks to the discussion forum at www.buffy-angel.org, which enabled long observation of the group development in the sense of our similar values, attitudes and purposes.
