Notes *Fan Fiction is stories based on or closely inspired by characters, situations, and other material from pre-existing, usually professionally produced, books, TV shows, etc.   **Crossovers combine material from two or more such "universes." ***Filks are the fan fiction of the music world: new lyrics set to old melodies, usually for comic effect. DISCLAIMER: In creating these works of fan fiction, crossover, and filk, and likewise in posting them here, my intent is only to entertain, not to infringe upon the trademarks, copyrights, or other intellectual property rights of the original creators of the books, movies, and/or TV shows I've borrowed from.  On the contrary, I believe that good fan fiction helps to build and invigorate a fan base, which in turn makes sequels, prequels, merchandising, and conventions even more profitable for the holders of such rights.
