Erica Haugtvedt is a PhD candidate in English at Ohio State University. Her research focuses on the serial Victorian novel and its narrative extensions (adaptations, continuations, illustrations, and merchandising) in the penny press, on the stage, and in the marketplace.

She sees these Victorian reading practices as setting the foundation for what would eventually become fan fiction and fandom in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
