dc.description.abstract	This thesis sheds light on the relatively new concept of literary web series and their unique relation with their audience. Theories on transmediality and audience interaction are applied to four literary web series. The use of social media in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Emma Approved, Frankenstein MD and Carmilla gives the audience a unique chance to get involved with the things they see on a screen. Two series attempt to convey a realistic image whereas the other two have a clear supernatural influence which might influence the audience’s involvement. However, the distance between the two worlds in Frankenstein MD and Carmilla diminishes the number of metafictional elements and facilitate audience interaction and involvement, without those clashes between the reality of the series and that of the audience as seen in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries and Emma Approved. It will also be shown that every series is metafictional and transmedial to a different degree.	en_US
