I would read a thread devoted to this wonderful piece of fiction.

quote:

/r9k/Elsa is Suffering is a Modern AU fanfic based on Frozen, written by Fiction Press Dot Com author AnonElsa. The fanfic follows Elsa and her struggles with day-to-day life, she spends most of her time online, locked away in her bedroom. As well as not being able to cope with normal social situations, she also finds herself having romantic feelings towards her little sister, Anna.

[...]

* Sister-Sister Incest: Elsa is struggling to cope with her romantic feelings towards her little sister Anna. Anna is eventually revealed to have always had feelings for Elsa in turn, and they start a relationship of sorts. Unlike some fanfics that deal with incest, it's handled fairly realistically when it comes to other people's reactions.

Speaking of wonderful pieces of fiction: a Frozen fanfic!

ungulateman posted:

Y'know, since I have no shame (and enjoy badly-written stories as long as they meet some nebulous standards of mine), I decided to look up Frozen fanfiction on FF.net, ranked by the number of Favourites.

The entire front page is Elsa/Anna 'romance'.

quote:

The Cameo:
[...]
* Edna Mode is - unsurprisingly - a dressmaker.
** This cameo is made even more epic by the fact she's the only cameo in the entire story who is completely lifted intact from her original role, complete with the exact same personality quirks, down to doing Anna two dresses because she was so inspired.

quote:

* Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Anna (redhead) and Elsa (blonde) are the fic's main characters, with Megara (brunette) spending the most time in focus after them. This trope is played with, though. Elsa and Megara's only connection is their feelings for Anna, and the three of them have only been together in one room once so far.

* Covert Pervert: What with her silence and Moe-ness, it's easy for Anna - and the audience - to think of Elsa as an innocent child. When the story's perspective shifts to her, however, we're reminded that she's an eighteen-year-old girl, one with definite... feelings for Anna.

quote:

Fainting: Elsa literally collapses in a swoon upon seeing Anna in a gorgeous ballgown.

quote:

Porn Stash: Downplayed: Elsa doesn't have a "stash" as such, but she does make sure to avoid showing Anna the more "risqué" books she's read while showing her the family library.

quote:

Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Deserves a page of its own. Snowflake is famous amongst fans for its sheer levels of WAFF.

quote:

Security Blanket: Elsa's braid functions as this. When nervous, she holds on to it, and sometimes uses it to cover her mouth (nearly killing Anna with cuteness in the process).

I remember this thing coming up in the US election thread a couple years ago, and from the excerpts it looked like an amazing story, just not in the way the author intended. It's a glorious, terrible trainwreck, a story you can't help but be entertained by.

Flesnolk posted:

Edit: Also, I'm not sure if this would belong more in PYF with the other mocks or Book Barn since highlighting the series itself Let's Read style would be an important part.

I'm not implying that guy lifted this idea but it reminds me of the evil Emperor from Final Fantasy II (a game I'm playing right now). After he's killed by the rebellion, his soul goes to Hell, where he murders Satan and takes over. Then, after he's killed again in Pandemonium, his soul goes to Heaven, he murders God, and takes over.

Soulcleaver posted:

There's a trope for that! Several, actually!

I know this. I hate myself and I want to die.

Like a Badass out of Hell: Took Over posted:

In Final Fantasy II, killing the Emperor the first time doesn't particularly help, he takes over Hell and returns to Earth, raising Hell's capital from the earth to serve as his new base. In the remakes, it turns out this is the "evil side" of his soul doing the work - the "good side" ascends to Heaven and takes over that, too.

The novelization even depicts the Emperor meeting Satan after he dies; who is about to take his soul; so the Emperor kills him.

Rage Against the Heavens posted:

In Final Fantasy II after the Emperor is killed, his dark half goes to hell and takes over, but his light half goes to Heaven and... takes that over too. Yeah, this guy is so evil his good side somehow managed to overthrow God. Badass much?

Cornwind Evil posted:

Considering the 'prince' character in the story turned out to be evil, and the plot is resolved by an 'act of love' between the sisters, is this really surprising that all the usual minds who do this stuff immediately jumped right to 'Surely they want to gently caress'?

ungulateman posted:

No, but I am usually reasonably convinced that fanfiction is not all that bad and that people who read it have bad standards, not bad taste. Seeing that the vast majority of people who want to read fanfiction of a recent Disney princess movie also want to see the main characters bone each other kinda washes off that veneer of reasonableness.

I'm just not cut out for fictitious lesbian incest is what I'm saying.

Kim Possible fanfic time posted:

Maternal Instinct is the beginning of an entire universe of stories, and one of the most widely celebrated Kim Possible fanfics out there. Written by Blackbird, writer of growing popularity among the Kim Possible and The Batman fandoms, who also borrows a few elements from popular writer NoDrogs. The stories are imaginative, the dialogue is always a treat to read, and the series is all around well-written and consistently entertaining.

The story begins, as many do, with one of Drakken's plans going awry. While trying to impregnate Kim Possible with a retrovirus fired from a special gun, he misses and hits Shego instead. This leads to Shego becoming pregnant, which turns her against her employer and causes her to seek out the "father:" Kim Possible.

Like many Comic Books, the series features multiple continuities. There's a second branch of stories, called "Another Possibility", that follows right after a different ending for the first story.

The series is also notable for its many, many OCs, all of whom feel fully developed and fit right into the universe that the author has created. There are also more cameos that you can shake a stick at, which ventures into Crossover territory at times. The author has taken a break from the series at the moment, but it's far from over.

Never Live It Down posted:

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
Derpy Hooves is nothing but this trope. A five-second shot has a pony with Fish Eyes in the background, and the fans create an entire character based on her. She was part of a group interested in having some muffins when they were served to a group of ponies (the word "muffins" matches the lipsynching of at least one, possibly two other ponies), and everyone went with it; her toy's box even features muffins. She drops a bunch of things on Twilight, and she's The Klutz. And don't even start on when her appearance in "The Last Roundup" was edited to remove her being called by name and changed her voice and eyes; absolutely nobody involved — including several people not involved — have been allowed to live it down, with death threats thrown around left and right.
Fluttershy wanting to be a tree, based on a random night conversation on a train. This received a Continuity Nod in "Hurricane Fluttershy" where she hides inside a tree costume to avoid participating in the local pegasi's efforts to supply Cloudsdale with water.
Fluttershy's Sanity Slippage in "The Best Night Ever" forever convinced a large section of fans that she's secretly a Yandere.
A Meme in which Scootaloo is secretly a chicken, based on a short bout of teasing from her friend Apple Bloom.
Pinkie Pie being a sadistic serial killer who may or may not have severe childhood trauma, based on her Sanity Slippage in "Party of One", compounded by a certain infamous fanfic. Never mind that in the episode she was, at most, bipolar and manic depressive, which are many times more likely to result in self-harm than any violent tendencies.
Celestia is often depicted in fan works as an arbitrary and capricious dictator.
She banished somepony to the moon once (a Mad Goddess whose scheme would have killed all life in Equestria), and even then only with the help of the Elements of Harmony. This doesn't stop numerous fans from depicting her as solving all her problems by banishing them to the moon, and even having her own Catch Phrase ("TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOON! BEEYETCH!").
Before that, she (and Luna, which no-one seems to remember) turned Discord to stone... after he conquered Equestria and turned it into a nightmarish World Gone Mad. Naturally this led to depictions of "turn it to stone" being her answer to every problem that can't be solved with "send it to the moon". (Funnily enough, Discord seems to think this In-Universe. "Unlike you, I don't turn ponies to stone!")
Rainbow Dash said "twenty percent cooler" once, and "ten seconds flat" twice. To a lot of fans, they might as well be her Catch Phrases.
Twilight will never live down her Sanity Slippage (noticing a pattern?) in "Lesson Zero". In fairness, it was terrifying. However, not only did Twilight have some basis for Sanity Slippage in "Swarm of the Century", but she did it again in "It's About Time". Furthermore, she is slowly learning to control it as of "Games Ponies Play". The fans have spoken about her mental health, and the writers are listening.
Shining Armor did a Fastball Special with his wife Cadance exactly once, in a life-or-death situation where there was basically no other option. (And it worked, saving Spike from certain death and the Crystal Empire from enslavement by King Sombra.) Since then, the fandom only knows him as "Wife Thrower" (albeit affectionately).
Lyra Heartstrings has once been seen sitting on her haunches (like a human would) on a park bench in "Dragonshy". Since then, you can't swing your arm without hitting a fanfic, music video, comic, or some other fan work depicting Lyra as a human-obsessed fanatic, bent on proving humanity's existence, gaining hands, or becoming human herself.
Sweetie Belle gained a reputation as The Ditz because she didn't understand "more than I can chew" was a figure of speech.
"A Canterlot Wedding" has many examples of this:
Twilight accusing Cadance of being evil despite having no evidence (though she was right, just not in the same context she was thinking).
Shining Armor yelling at his sister, more or less cutting off his ties with her, and never apologizing for it after Chrysalis got kicked out of Canterlot.
Twilight's friends abandoning her for a pony they just met a day or so ago and not even giving Twilight a chance to explain her doubts before the big accusation scene.
Celestia being easily beaten and Luna being absent.
The Season 3 premiere featured a villain who was intended to be a sinister and ominous presence in the vein of Sauron, but whom many fans interpreted as being an ineffective Orcus on His Throne. Sadly, poor Sombra will never get to redeem himself in the eyes of the fandom, as he is the only villain on the show to have been Killed Off for Real.
The episode "Feeling Pinkie Keen", in which writer Dave Polski worded the ending so badly that it turned a perfectly acceptable "Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it doesn't exist" moral into sounding more like "Science Is Wrong and you should just accept that things work the way they do without trying to understand it". Before "The Mysterious Mare Do Well" this was the episode that was negatively spoken about constantly, although later it was finally able to be Lived Down.
Merriwether Williams' debut episode "The Mysterious Mare Do Well" is still a top contender for the show's worst episode. Her next episode, "Hearth's Warming Eve," was better received, but then "Putting Your Hoof Down" and "Dragon Quest" were again controversial and cemented her reputation as the worst writer on the staff who has no understanding of the characters, despite the next season's "Wonderbolt Academy" showing that she's definitely learned from her mistakes. This is best illustrated by the response to her episode "Bats," which was accidentally credited to Meghan McCarthy. Response to the episode was very positive at first, but when the word came of who really wrote it, a lot of fans suddenly turned on it just because of her.
Princess Cadance dropped the ball and went right down to the Scrappy status she had been rescued from for not inviting Spike, one of the key figures in saving the very empire she rules, to the preparations for the Equestria Games. Notably, she did eventually Live It Down in the episode "Equestria Games", where she invited Spike to light the torch at the opening ceremony - and later the fireworks at the closing ceremony, giving up her own place to do so.
Similar to a certain superhero, Angel Bunny will never live down the domestic violence he inflicted on Fluttershy in Putting Your Hoof Down. He has never been seen doing this before or since, and has occasionally been shown comforting Fluttershy at her lowest moments, but the viewers will forever remember him as "the rear end in a top hat who slapped Fluttershy and kicked her out of her own house over a cherry", and even demonize him in fanfics for this.
Soarin the Wonderbolt had his first real debut scene in the season one finale: "Best Night Ever" where he enthusiastically purchases and apple pie from Applejack. This resulted in many fans flanderizing him into being some kind of pie-addict.
Applejack's Gen 1 counterpart was made famous for being the subject of a song in a My Little Pony cassette tape from the '80s which is about her being a "silly pony". The silly pony trait has been projected onto the current gen AJ by fans (note that FIM AJ is somewhat accident prone and goofy, but no more so than nearly every other pony in the slapstick heavy series).

Video Games posted:

Zelda is known for being kidnapped constantly, and apparently every game is based on this concept. This is not the case. Admittedly, Zelda has been rescued in several games, she is often depicted as being able to take care of herself. An example is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and you actually discover late in the game that she was the awesome ninja dude that has been fighting evil and bossing you around for half the game. Zelda HAS been kidnapped, enchanted, turned to stone and whatnot for half of the game, but the other half was spent kicking rear end.

Video Games posted:

Zoe Quinn, the creator of Depression Quest, has been looked down upon by many people on the internet, mostly people in the gaming community, thanks to her involvement in the Gamergate scandal. Though the Gamergate people has mostly moved on and stopped talking about her as the main vocal point, she is still the person who people will mention first when trying to explain how the whole Gamergate issue started because of her actions. Kinda like how people bring up Gavrilo Princip When talking about World War 1.

Live Action TV posted:

Gilligan is so infamous for "always" accidentally ruining the Castaways' plans to get off the island that Just Eat Gilligan became a meme and then a trope. But a dedicated fan decided to watch every episode and make note of the number of episodes the castaways tried to get off the island and the number of those episodes where their plans were ruined by Gilligan. It turns out Gilligan bungles their plans in exactly 17 episodes. Which is still a lot, but it's less than half of the number of episodes the Castaways tried to escape, 37. More importantly, there were 98 episode total. So Gilligan botched the Castaways rescue/escape attempts less than half the time they tried and in only a little more than a sixth of all episodes.

Quinn's ex posted a list of dirty laundry about their relationship, including allegations that she slept around with other guys, one of whom happened to be a contributor to Kotaku. Gamers being the rabid misogynists they are, they dogpiled on her and claimed she was one of the main reasons for the corruption of gaming journalism*.

Yes, this is all exactly as pathetic as it sounds.

Highlights since then include Quinn posting IRC logs from 4chan that proved it was all a set-up (with channers then posting them in their entirety to try discrediting her ), right-wing blogs trying to get in on the action to sway gamers over to their POV, and some movement to have a mass exodus from 4chan.

*Side note: the guy she was alleged to have slept with never wrote any reviews for her game.
