''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9305422/1/Courtney-and-the-Violin-of-Despair Courtney and the Violin of Despair]]'' (commonly abbreviated to the acronym “[=CatVoD=]”) is a {{short story}} by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/4657306/Gideoncrawle Gideoncrawle]], set in the ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' universe. The story consists of a [[ExcusePlot loosely connected]] series of vignettes and is mainly a prequel to the events of the first season (''Total Drama Island''), although it does expand on a couple of incidents from the early episodes of the show itself.
[[ToMakeALongStoryShort To make a short story shorter]], Courtney’s parents [[ItWasAGift give her a violin]] of exceptional quality for her 11th birthday. Unbenownst to them, the violin is the infamous “[[ArtifactOfDeath Violin of Despair]]”, which bears an ancient {{curse}}. Courtney suffers a [[BreakTheCutie series of humiliating misfortunes]] as a result, with all of the prequel incidents being music-related. All the incidents, whether prequel or expansion, were [[PseudocanonicalFic canon-compliant]] when the story was written.
The author describes the story as “a kinder, gentler [[RevengeFic Courtney-bashing]] story”. The [[WordOfGod author relates]] that he became disgusted with the generally execrable story quality of the Courtney-bashing subgenre, which tends to wallow in viciousness at the expense of [[SarcasmMode little things]] like story development, so he set out to demonstrate that a [[RevengeFic bash fic]] writer doesn’t have to be mean or sacrifice story quality to give their [[ButtMonkey favorite punching bag]] a lot of grief.
