   Summary

   An essay on Whump as a genre that is meant to serve as a primer to the unfamiliar and provide interpretations that may be of general use. This essay was informed by experiences in the One Piece fandom and discussions about One Piece fanfiction, and thus the fandom has been cited in reflection of that, in order to better contextualize what was chosen as a primary focus. An essay on whump made in conversation with a different fandom might focus on different points entirely. With that being said, there are minimal references to One Piece, and the tone of the essay is an attempt at relative, if forever unachievable, neutrality.
