Courtney and the Violin of Despair (commonly abbreviated to the acronym “CatVoD”) is a short story by Gideoncrawle, set in the Total Drama universe. The story consists of a 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.To make a short story shorter, Courtney’s parents give her a violin of exceptional quality for her 11th birthday. Unbenownst to them, the violin is the infamous “Violin of Despair”, which bears an ancient curse. Courtney suffers a series of humiliating misfortunes as a result, with all of the prequel incidents being music-related. All the incidents, whether prequel or expansion, were canon-compliant when the story was written.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The author describes the story as “a kinder, gentler Courtney-bashing story”. The 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 little things like story development, so he set out to demonstrate that a bash fic writer doesn’t have to be mean or sacrifice story quality to give their favorite punching bag a lot of grief.Sum This Up In One Trope: Revenge Fic (subverted)Other troped works by this author include: Legacy The Legend of Total Drama Island Total Drama Island, by Gilbert and Sullivan | |

| Courtney and the Violin of Despair / Fan Fic / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: A meta example. The story is billed as a "kinder, gentler 'Courtney bashing' story", but it doesn't take long for perceptive readers to discover that the "bashing" target is actually being treated like a invoked woobie. | |

Antiquated Linguistics | |
| Courtney and the Violin of Despair / Fan Fic / int_e1721fd1 | comment |
Antiquated Linguistics: Most notably, dates rendered as "The Year of Our Lord". More generally, a mild form of this is part of the author’s natural style. | |
