FY Goes to High School: Ooooooooh, so we put all of the characters in the same school, and then they have to interact!
Humor: Rarely (very rarely), it's okay to be a little silly.
Introspection: Hey, not all of it is angst!
Missing Scenes: Back stories and side stories.
Nonfiction: Thinking deeply about serious stuff.
Reincarnation: Our deus ex machina. And it's canon!
Romance: The ubiquitous kiss. It's what fan fiction is all about! (Or maybe not...)
Satire: Because the more you read, the more you need a respite.
What If?: Imagination (wishful thinking?) at its best.
Unfortunately, weird people
are usually unpopular.
