Deep thoughts are important, especially in these times. Sarah Z has such thoughts regularly. Let’s see if we can accommodate them here as well. This post is about fan fiction and the question of whether it is art. Have a look here:
There are many different grievances that need to be shared, but the following points are what we feel are the most grievous and should be known by the public above all.” With these words, on April 2, 2018, a ball was set in motion that triggered an avalanche and forever changed the structure of Internet reviewers.
