"Flourish Klink is a transmedia producer who has worked on movies and television shows such as TRANSCENDENCE, CULT, and EAST LOS HIGH."
"Flourish Klink's Fred and George is an unusual Taroko Gorge version, as it functions both as a procedural remix and a transformative work of fanfiction. The genre of fanfiction (or the writing of new stories with familiar characters from other authors or media) is not unique to the web, but it has proliferated and expanded as an incredibly popular form of digital writing. Klink's Fred and George draws its title characters from Harry Potter, a franchise that has influenced the writing of whole universes of fanfiction, including the 'twincest' (Weasley twin sexual and romantic relationships) that Klink draws on. Klink both parodies and revels in the styles of this genre, including the rather infamous form of fanfiction known as 'PWP', or 'Plot? What Plot?' This intertextuality (and procedural sexuality) makes Klink's remix stand out as one of the few examples of procedural fanfiction and an appropriate meta-commentary on the fairly repetitive and easily distilled elements of this particular slash (queer) pairing." -- from Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3
