They consist of 15 five-minute episodes, and feature interactive fare such as contests, behind-the-scene material and blogging. They share key narrative and thematic conventions and a star system with telenovelas, the wildly popular Latin American version of the American soap opera. .... Webnovelas are, in contrast, a genre that is open enough to welcome user collaboration and use this collaboration as marketing intelligence. This is particularly true with the fan fiction or foronovela that Wikipedia mistakenly refers to as webnovela.
