In some cases, creativity can transform an older work into something new and different. Italo Calvino takes the myth of Perseus and says that Perseus is saving Calvino from the proverbial Medusa’s head. N. Katherine Hayles introduces us to the delicious world of artists’ books.

I, on the other hand, take you into the world of fan fiction. In this world, canon series are given new life, extended story lines, extra characters, and just about the same amount of crazed fans. True, some of us tend to be on the psychotic side, and some of us border on ignorant, but please don’t allow the lower level works frighten you away from eLiterature all together. Not all of us are thirteen-year-old girls without any sense of grammatical rules, only hoping to realize an outrageous dream that certainly will never come true.
