"Great art is not that which creates something utterly new, but that which takes something we have seen before and forces us to look at it in a new way. Fanfiction, therefore, is not the lowest form of literature, but, indeed, the highest."

(If you write fanfiction, please copy and paste this into your profile.)

Fanfiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don't do it for money. That's not what it's about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They're fans, but they're not silent, couchbound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language.

Housekeeping:

I am on Archive of Our Own (AO3) under the name TrivialPursuit. Due to its superiority in user-friendliness things will be updated there faster and are more likely to be correct. Almost all of my work can be found there.

Most of the pairings I ship are bizarre, potentially creepy to non-shippers, and defiantly do not conform to everyone's tastes. Equally, many popular ships I find bizarre and creepy. If someone doesn't like something that I've written you can just click that handy little arrow in the far top-left corner of your window and you never have to read the ramblings of my creepy brain again and I will afford you the same courtesy. Nasty reviews are neither necessary nor helpful.

However, I don't catch all the mistakes I make, nor do I make use of a beta reader. If you see a spelling/grammar/continuity/plot/continuity mistake, please let me know in a non-agressive manner and I will endeavour to fix it. My feelings won't be hurt. I promise.

I am pro-podfic, fanart, fanmix, and whatever else there is. Just shoot me a link to what you've done.

To the lovely people who read Welcome to Hell and liked it:

I have deleted that particular story from my account since I felt it was unfair to continue to have it up considering I will never finish it. If you would like to PM me about this, please feel free to do so and I will answer your questions to the best of my ability.

The Triviaglass Avengers 'Verse is a collaboration with glassfacet. There's some stuff posted on her profile so check it out.

I will not pursue legal action in the instance that my plot/original character(s) or something resembling my plot/original character(s) appears on the media outlet I am writing fan fiction for (I would actually be pretty flattered). Also, I don't own any of the fandoms I write for.
