I think I might need a PowerPoint to understand this post.

It's relevant to note that, while shipping (focused on romantic pairing) fanfic (derivative fiction written by fans) is really popular, you see fanfics about almost everything, depending on the media. For example some give redemption to a tragic villain, showing them by a different view; some seek to fill some plot hole left by the original author of the work; some explore the afterstory; and some are simply weird.
