Paratext (secondary text + tertiary text); producer made, other producer made, fan/audience made. You begin to make a religion out of the tv show, you follow it so closely. The show is the leader, the audience is the follower. Cult: combination of secondary text and inter text; expands meaning of primary text. Extra-industrial result that has to be connected to extra cultural courses. Similarities between transmedia and cult text (simpsons and game of thrones) Outside text assigns and expands meaning of inside text.
