The last two decades have witnessed a shift of attention from translation and translator to the study of readers in the field of Translation Studies. Technological advancement and the emergence of the new generation of Web have empowered online translation users to take the role of translators and create user-generated translations. The present study aims to investigate the demographic characteristics and preferences of the readers in selecting fanfictions translated into Persian and shared on social networks. Using the online qualitative survey method, a questionnaire with 16 open items was prepared. It was sent to 150 translated fanfiction readers in the form of a Google form. Employing thematic analysis, the results showed the readers of translated fanfictions in Iran are mostly high school girls and teenagers who read these stories on Telegram and Wattpad channels. Readers have years of familiarity with stories, mostly through friends or by reading other content on social media platforms. They choose the stories by paying attention to the translated and original titles, fanfiction covers, and most importantly, to the genre, and they ignore the age filter of the stories. Moreover, readers do not pay much attention to the fact that the stories are authored or translated. However, most of them can name a few fanfiction authors or translators, since almost half of them choose the stories by the author’s or translator’s name. The results can be used to improve the translation quality and to familiarize the transition trainees with new scope of research in TS.
