In no way, shape or form do I, Psychodelicate Girl, have any ownership over any part of Charles Dickens' second novel, Oliver Twist. I am not aware who is fortunate to be able to claim such possession, but I know enough to surmise it is not me.
This past December, I played Nancy in a straight production (i.e., without music [i.e., not Oliver!]) of Oliver Twist. The actor portraying Bill Sikes and I took our roles a little too seriously, and wrote backstories for our characters. That original one page has inspired me to expand on my created past for Dickens' beloved tart with a heart, in the form of this fanfiction. For that purpose, and that purpose alone, do I borrow elements from the novel Oliver Twist.
To be sure I am not simply rehashing what other people have thought up before me, I have read and continue to read every scrap of Oliver Twist fanfiction available on this website. I trust I am not stealing any work belonging to other authors, but I do and will appreciate hearing any concerns of such sorts. In return, I shall state at the end of each chapter which characters I have created for the purpose of this story, few though they may be.
Thank you. So sorry for the pretentious manner this disclaimer has been written in; it can only get better from here on out, I assure you.
