''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8449545/1 Calvin and Hobbes: The Abridged Series]]'' is a RecursiveFanfiction for ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'', made by Tropers/BlueGuy. As the name suggests, it's TheAbridgedSeries... though it's not so much "Abridged" as it is "radically altered", with the first two chapters having quite a few differences. RageAgainstTheAuthor is a recurring theme here, as the deeply flawed author gets quite a lot of flak from the eponymous duo.
----
!!This fic provides examples of:
* TheAbridgedSeries: A rare fanfic approach.
* AnimatedActors: Calvin and Hobbes themselves.
* BlahBlahBlah: Used a lot by the narrator.
* EpunymousTitle: Things start getting real in "Lights, Camera, Traction!" - there's a camera and traction.
* LemonyNarrator: The narrator, who is ''not'' a good person in any way.
* PaintingTheMedium: The in-story narrator is in italics, to prevent confusion with the actual narrator.
** In Chapter 2, when Calvin gets out of the fic and forces the narrator into it, the words get jumbled.
* RageAgainstTheAuthor: Again, a driving force behind the plot.
* RougeAnglesOfSatin:
--> '''Hobbes:''' Really? So what's with all the spelling errors and typos?\\
''[[HypocriticalHumor Wat the heck are you taking about? I sure as heck dont see any here!/ oh eait. darn it.]]''
* RealWorldEpisode: The end of Chapter 2 sees Calvin marching into the author's bedroom and promptly inverting the trope by forcing the author ''in the fic itself.''
* ScriptFic: The duo aren't happy with this styling.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Stated by name and inverted with Calvin.
** Played straight with the narrator.
