I just kinda go thourgh "obssesion phases." I hope my obsseson with Foster's stays for a long time, though. Wow, we're like two peas in a pod. FOP has deteroriated (in my opinion), though, and has fallen back on poop/fart jokes and the like. IT IS VERY SAD INDEED. And yes, there is angst and also slash of Lazytown. There is also slash of: --Winnie the Pooh --The Brave Little Toaster --Teletubbies (well, we saw that coming) --Spongebob Squarepants --Neopets --Pokemon --Animal Crossing --Finding Nemo --Garfield --FOP .....ALL BY THE SAME PERSON. Sometimes I worry about the world.

Yes, FOP has detorieated. I remeber the first few seasons when it had a special magic to it.....ah.....good times, good times. I found a Blue's Clues horror fic, ok, now I really worry about the world. It's a horror fic about Blue. Blue is a dog who doesn't even talk! It really makes no sense. Oh, well, it usually doesn't have to make sense as long as it's creepy and depressing and morbid. I think they're may be a way to have good, funny, Foster's fics; I could get the people who write insane POTO fics interested in Foster's. Could work. I mean, the humor in that section is pretty funny. I must make them share the joy of Foster's. I can review to their fics, "Hey, that's pretty funny. Do you know what else is funny? Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. Try watching it sometimes." Could work, who knows? ;D

YA RLY. I think they're may be a way to have good, funny, Foster's fics; I could get the people who write insane POTO fics interested in Foster's. If I had a plot I'd do one. I had thought of one but it seems too complicated, and anyways I wouldn't be the best fic author because I'd be afraid I wouldn't be able to keep them IC. I mean I know how they act and I can recognize when there's something one of the FHFIF crew simply would not ever do, ever, but I wouldn't have enough confidence to write for them. ALSO WHY DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING IN MY POST THAT NEEDS EDITING

YA!!!!! Now starting plan of making all phans Foster's fans! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Yes, it will be the best plan ever. I could write an FHFIF fic, but, I just haven't had that many ideas latley for Foster's or for any fandom for that mater. And strangly, I have trouble keeping Mac IC, I have no clue why, I just can't keep him IC. I know it should be easy, but, it isn't for me.

Okay, I'm going to make yet another ranty post about this particular topic.
First: Have you guys ever heard of "shotacon"? It's very popular among teenage girls and means "shotaro complex". Have you heard of "lolicon"? It's very popular with old guys and means "Lolita complex". So "shota" is the same thing, but with little boys. So basically, some teenage girls are attracted to little boys having sex and stuff. Yeah, weird.
Anyways, I may be one of the most "purist" people ever. I think that if a fanfic is written about something that is supposed to be funny, it should also be funny. If the characters are obviously straight and just friends, they should stay straight and just friends. If there is no one named Ravyn with red streaks in her hair who Wilt finds himself strangely attracted to, there should not be one....... and so on and so forth.
Aside from the fact that Bloo does not seem to have any, ah, "boy parts" (not like they would actually draw them, but you know what I mean) and I am not about to go to fanfiction.net to see everyone else's interpretations of what Bloo, in essence, actually is, I am of the extremely strong opinion that romance and love (aside from the purely platonic variety which I believe he feels for Mac) are something that Bloo simply has never and probably will never understand.
I know that imaginary friends' personalities often go in different directions than their creators intended, but Bloo was created to be like a brother and best friend to Mac, and to me, that's just too important to their relationship to just be changed, even in a fanfic. For example, even though Berry was attracted to Bloo (and just because he didn't feel the same way doesn't mean he's gay -- c'mon guys, she's a psycho!), he not only obviously felt nothing for her but seemed to be totally unaware that she felt anything for him (I think.... I haven't seen that episode in a while.....). There are a lot of supporters of Mac and Bloo pairing, but I'm beginning to think to many of them it's because they find it "hot", rather than that it is plausible at all, because it isn't -- I know this doesn't matter to most people, but there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever to support the idea that Mac and Bloo are gay, and actually there's some evidence against it. Come on, guys! They're just kids! I mean, Bloo's five, for God's sakes!
....Ahem....
Now onto the subject of "dark" fanfics. I'm getting really tired of seeing summaries that go like this:
"When Bloo starves to death and Mac goes goth and Frankie commits suicide and Wilt runs away, what will happen? M/M, M/F, F/F, angst, violence, language, sex, some character deaths."
Then I think for a moment "Hey, they copied those names from.... *scroll up* ..... oh wait, this is the Foster's section".
If your fanfic makes me forget I'm reading about Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, I don't care how well written it is -- it's bad. Seeing the entire spirit of the show get mangled into the "Everyone Is Gay And Dies Horror Picture Show" is like seeing all the characters lined up and being beaten to bloody pulps in a dark alley.

You're completely right! I have to admit I sometimes do read these stories, but I still prefer funny ones.

Hey! I find that very insulting! *sulks*

No insult intended. I am simply saying that I do not consider either starvation or suicide to be suitable topics for levity.

Ahhh. I suppose most fic authors think so, however, because that is what the majority of them are about. Okay, maybe not the starvation part, but that's the general gist (jist?) of it. I wasn't trying to make fun of either starvation or suicide (neither are laughing matters) but just the liberal addition of them in fanfics. Anyways, I suppose that was in bad taste on my part.

I often wonder why such things seem to be so popular in fanfics. What could people possibly be getting from it?

Often, they'll say "i wrote this fic just to see how a Wilt x Mr. Herriman pairing would work out! lol!" However, it is to remain unknown as to WHY they want to see this stuff.
