same setting as a popular work and/or it involves characters from a popular work” (Thompson). Saying this, however, can also be a bit misleading, for, although fan fiction is generally “amateur” in nature, it isn’t necessarily not as good as its original source material. While some fan fiction may be written by beginner writers who can barely string a plot together, much more of it is created by serious individuals who know what they are doing, and indeed, it is quite possible to find fan fictions

eventually resulting in his receiving of the Rising Comedy Star award later that year. After the brief but successful run, he turned back to music, releasing his first EP, “Be Alone”. One of the tracks on the extended play was particularly successful, a track by the name of “Freaks and Geeks”. The song was responsible for Glover’s first music video, and received particular prestige when Adidas featured the song in a commercial with rising NBA star Dwight Howard. It was also within this same time period

"A singularity is a place on either space or time at which some quantity becomes infinite (without an end). Such a place is found in a black hole, the final stage of a collapsed star, where the gravitational field has infinite strength."

the male characters present (actors) on these shows. Femininity is explored within the realm and it is not always in the best light as it is often ignored or downplayed.

Spoiler alert, for example people that died in the book didn’t die in the movie. That took away the emotional response most people had in the book and left a feeling of shock in theaters. The novel in the series that has the most book to movie changes would be the last book in the series Allegiant. The Divergent series is about a society of people divided into five groups

Supernatural have swelled. Slowly stigma of nerdiness has worn off. Cheerleaders gush about Star Trek movies with as much glee as the original trekies. Perhaps one of the largest contributor to wide spread nerdiness, is book to movie adaptations.
