''A Small Crime'' is a FanFic novel created by [[MostFanficWritersAreGirls Katy-Kale]] based on the ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} the Third'' movie. The character Arthur 'Artie' Pendragon is made one of the main characters, who in the original works was the EnsembleDarkhorse rather than TheHero.

The story is set in an [[AlternateUniverse Alternate Shrek Universe]], where (instead of Shrek, who is never mentioned in the story) the main character is a teenage girl named Kit. The story contains enough {{canon}} to make it fit into Shrek's world, yet at the same time changes the scenes enough to make it new and interesting for the reader.
