Oh, sorry, I totally misread that. I still feel like it could maybe be a separate topic? I don't know if there's anywhere else it could go?

Ha, it's okay, girl... I think I will make a separate topic for that at some point... It'll be my first new topic in several years!

Dystopian or dark AUs. Something about them just makes me want to read it, you'd never expect Jimmy Neutron trying to overthrow some extremely OP being.

That's really cool!

I came up with an idea for something kinda like that, just never actually wrote about it. I mentioned it in a journal or something on DA, and it's more like a writing prompt than anything else, albeit a long one... It describes the basic plot line and it has EJ returning with a vengeance... It's nothing like I've ever thought of before...! Wanna see it??

[AquaticValley]

Sure! And that kind of reminds me of a old JN fanfic called "Project Polaris" I made, it still haunts me though. I just had to canceled it half way because of how edgy and cringe it was.

Sure! I'd love to see it! I really don't want to sound like a broken record here, but please do not share it here. This is a general topic and isn't meant to rec/ or share ideas. It's more just to put some good vibes into the world! Thank you! 

 

Yeah, that's another thing I love about fic! The ability to explore darker topics if you want! 

[JimmyxxCindy4EVER]

I can understand that, and totally respect it. I can share it via our FB group chat, if you'd like...! But yeah, it's fun to dabble in that genre, provided it's not too extreme, at least in my opinion...

[Katia11]

As long as fics that are dark are properly tagged and labeled, it doesn't matter to me. I can choose whether or not to engage with something. But if someone else likes that thing- good for them! Fic/ stories in general can be a really good way to deal with heavier issues.

Reviving, cuz this topic so needs it!!

It's been a while since I've posted on here but some things I love in a fic include: 

 

• Thoughtful character analysis that makes me think about the character, episode, or show in a different way. I especially love ones that say things about the character I could never put into words myself, but that seem perfectly apt. 
• Fics that are creative with form, use of setting, or effortlessly mimic the feel of canon
• DELICIOUS BANTER! GIVE ME LOTS OF IT 
• ANGST, GIVE ME LOTS OF THAT TOO
• Fics that remind me why I love a ship in the first place by capturing something about their essence as a pairing

[Katia11]

AGREED.
