[ WP ] You stumble into a universe where you discover that your life is an incredibly popular book/movie/piece of media . Then you find the fanfiction .

I flashed into an empty apartment. This universe traveling thing was always annoying. You never knew where you were going to end up. 
 
 
 I opened the envelope, took the money out, scanned the letter telling me that this universe was relatively safe and that the apartment was mine. 
 
 
 I pocketed the cash and wandered over to the couch to see what the dominant language was and if something particular was going on in the world. 
 
 
 Some toothless college sitcom came on. But it was in English so I took it as a win. A red haired girl in relatively conservative clothing was talking to what appeared to be her roommate, who was wearing a blue wig. just what I used to wear, I thought to myself. And that red hair looked a lot like Janet's, my old roommates. The conversation stopped when a slightly heavyset and dark haired boy burst into the room. The red haired girl looked at him condescendingly `` You know, we could have been changing.'' 
 
 
 `` Then you should lock your door.'' He said as he caught his breath, cuing the laugh track. The boy started explaining how he needed an excuse to get away from his bitchy girlfriend and I could not help the feeling that this was all familiar. 
 
 
 I was starting to think about my various college friends when I heard `` We will be right back with more'Em' after these messages, on TBS''. My Blood ran cold. 
 
 
 That was my nickname in college. 
 
 
 I immediately turned off the television and rushed over to the computer. `` It's no big deal'' I thought to myself. `` It was probably canceled after one season.'' 
 
 
 Naturally I started with Wikipedia. 
 
 
 ``'Em' Is one of the most ubiquitous television sitcoms of the late 90s and early 2000s. Running for ten seasons...'' 
 
 
 
 I leaned back in the chair. How could anyone be that interested in me and my college friends dicking around? 
 
 
 I figured it probably did n't follow my life that closely so I looked at the episode list. 
 
 
 Sure enough every single episode was something that had happened, although I had n't remembered a lot of it until just now. 
 
 
 I backed out of the Wikipedia article to find a lot. Forums. Fansites. Blogs about the show. And Fanfiction. 
 
 
 Against my better judgement I clicked on the last one to immediately see Em X Janet before immediately regretting it. And then saw hordes of derivatives or people `` Fixing'' the fact that I ended up dating Dan for a few years. 
 
 
 I was tempted to yell at all the people over the internet that 1 he was not `` just a rageaholic jackass'' and 2 we broke up after a few years anyway before calming down and closing out the computer. 
 
 
 I wondered if anyone would recognize me.
