* AllThereInTheManual: Gonterman gives a lot of supplemental information in random-side stories, blog entries, pages buried within his websites, scribbled notes on sketches of characters, and in descriptions on Website/DeviantArt submissions. Gee, it'd sure be handy for him to tell us this stuff in the stories, eh?

Dating back to 1995, he has produced several {{Crossover}} stories, which involve the likes of ''Franchise/SailorMoon'', ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', and ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' series (which in his fanfic universe all take place at the same time). King of the self-insert fan fic, he was one of the first Sailor Moon fan fiction writers to insert himself as Serena's one true love. He also gained infamy among fans of the show's gay cast members; in one of his more infamous stories ("American Kitsune"), they died at his character's hands while his insert character made a homophobic rant justifying their deaths. He is also notoriously thin-skinned; in response to others {{MSTing}} his work, he wrote a story about himself beating up ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' co-star Mary Jo Pehl.

David Gonterman, aka Daveykins, [=FoxFire=], or David Foxfire, is a fan-fiction author and artist who is known mainly for the controversial "American Kitsune" fan fiction story and the furry themed ''[=FoxFire=]/Scarlet P.I.'' webcomic series.

Dating back to 1995, he has produced a number of mind-numbingly convoluted fan fiction {{Crossover}} stories.

The most infamous story of his works. ''Anime/SailorMoon'' meets ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' meets ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' meets anything else Gonterman could think of at the time. Davie meets Sailor Moon and the Power Rangers and rants about how he hates gay people while gleefully murdering the gay villains from Sailor Moon.

A ''Anime/SailorMoon'' inspired story about a young witch in a southern community. After Sue "comes out of the broom closet", life goes well for her as everybody accepts it. However, her lifestyle is threatened: when a [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]] attacks and kills a couple people, she is the only one able to stop it. It abruptly ends before she starts her journey, so what happens is unknown. Like ''Fauna Force'', this was meant to steal the audience from its source of inspiration.

After the US cancellation of ''Anime/SailorMoon'', David ends up catching said character after an explosion in Japan launched her across the Pacific. An AdaptationDistillation of ''Sailor Moon: American Kitsune''. Note: link is to a "FanArt" {{MST}}, since the unaltered artwork is generally considered to be lost.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: The [[{{MSTing}} MiSTing]] of ''Kitsune .44'' reluctantly admits this [[http://www.commuterbarnacle.com/gonterman/4417.html on occasion]].

* MoralDissonance: Many, many times. Blatant examples include Davey Crockett murdering a bunch of homosexuals, or Copper Mystrian creating a hypnotized personal army of young girls, some of whom serve as a harem of sorts. In general, sometimes the reasons the heroes fight, the things they do or what they say just doesn't quite match up to most of the reader's ideals, and even if they do, it's oftentimes handled in a way to be off-putting anyway.

** Take some Sonic the Hedgehog, put in a self insert, a lil' Sailor Moon, just a pinch of ''TabletopGame/{{Battletech}}'' and a healthy shake of Power Rangers... half bake for three weeks..

** Gonterman has a less-than-flattering cameo of his real self when Adam looks through a magic mirror in Livewire Latte. Characters from other comics and stories appear in short cameos in both Planeswalker and Livewire Latte.

* MagicNegro: A pseudo-example happens in the BAM remake, as the scientist who transforms Eric and gives him his powers is black.

Easily as notorious in the 90s and early 2000s as [[Webcomic/{{Sonichu}} Christine Weston Chandler]] and Creator/DakariKingMykan are today, he's managed to fade from the public eye, mostly by maturing in the intervening years, and with the fast turnover of the fanfiction scene, newer arrivals have simply outdone him. Nevertheless, all tropes and other relevant discussion relating to him and his work should be handled with the same degree of [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment tact]] as the other two.

Gonterman's response to Sonic the Hedgehog, ''Fauna Force'' starred Johnathan Brisby, originally introduced in the ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers''[=/=]''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH'' crossover story ''The Rangers of NIMH''. Johnathan, an accomplished street magician, stumbles upon the Animaster, [[CatsAreMean an evil lion]] who has recently turned a small cadre of humans into animals via a process known as 'furricization' (a none-too-subtle play on roboticization from the Sonic universe) and takes them in to form a team that can fight against the Animaster. It was intended to "steal" the audience from ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics''...

Scott Trucker, a Texas Ranger, gets sent back in time to FeudalJapan after a tornado scoops him up. He becomes part of a war against another time traveler that has taken over a sizable portion of Japan. As the site hosting the comic points out, the self-insert isn't named after Gonterman this time, but the hairstyle is a dead giveaway.

Medical equipment is being stolen by Nimnul. After meeting up with Johnathan Brisby, the Rescue Rangers go out to stop him. Pretty much the gold standard for both [[RougeAnglesOfSatin blind trust in the spellchecker and absolutely no proofreading whatsoever]], its first sentence reads "The Ranger's where flowing a leaded of break-ins." Usual tripe that wouldn't be too exceptional except for the fact that it introduced Johnathan Brisby, who became Gonterman's mascot of sorts.

A reactionary comic made when he discovered Archie Comics' plan to kill off Sally in the ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'' comic continuity. After assigning his own sense of outrage at the idea to, uh, everyone else in the world, David consoles an outraged Sally, offering a solution. Famous that it got ''Ken Penders''' attention.

Sort of the follow-up to ''Sally Protest'', ''The Mobius Chronicles'' is an alternate continuity that diverges from issue 47 of the official ''[[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' comic book. Naturally, Gonterman promptly makes himself the main character. {{MST}}ed [[http://atavism.comicgenesis.com/gont1.html here]], [[http://atavism.comicgenesis.com/gont2.html here]] and [[http://atavism.comicgenesis.com/gont3.html here]].

* BiTheWay: Copper Mystrian ...maybe.

A self-published ''Disney/PeterPan'' fanfic about a Lost Boy named Adam Packbell. The advertising blurb claims that it is "equal parts autobiography, adventure story, and ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}''-style parody of every recent novel set in Neverland including the official sequel". Adam Packbell is a central character in many of the Planewalker-verse comics and books.

An inept Disney ScriptFic of sorts, which includes Gonterman's self-insert being praised by Disney executives as an insightful genius for portraying Disney/{{Pocahontas}} as a "donamatrix" in his fanfiction and a paragraph-long sidenote about how none of the Disney characters actually died in their films.

Easily as notorious in the 90s and early 2000s as [[Webcomic/{{Sonichu}} Christian Weston Chandler]] and Creator/DakariKingMykan are today, he's managed to fade from the public eye, mostly by [[CharacterDevelopment growing up substantially]] in the intervening years and [[AlwaysABiggerFish just being outright outdone by the aforementioned... individuals]]. Nevertheless, all tropes and other relevant discussion relating to him and his work should be handled with the same degree of [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment tact]] as the other two.

* AuthorFilibuster: Taken to the extreme in ''American Kitsune'', where Davey-kins rants about how homosexuals made his life a living hell. Adam Packbell has 'blog entries' in the Lost Boy Found novel where he rants about Ritalin; and goes out of his way to call [=MSTings=] "troll fanfiction" during a ''court case''. The weird thing is that the people who made his life a so-called living hell were just high school kids calling him gay, not actual gay people. It's like having high cholesterol and blaming it on clowns. Gonterman later recanted his positions on this subject.
** It sort of ''does'' [[InsaneTrollLogic make sense]] if you see it as him blaming gay people for giving the high school bullies the reasons to bully him. Meaning, if gay people didn't exist, the bullies would not have any reason to [[ItsAllAboutMe call him gay]].

** Semi-Justified in ''Kitsune .44'', as possession of a [[HandCannon hefty revolver]] and 1990's knowledge in feudal Japan would give you some advantages.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: David can come up with ideas for plots that would be interesting if [[SugarWiki/NeedsMoreLove given attention and developed carefully]]. Unfortunately, he also tends to get excited about the [[{{ADCD}} Next Big Plot]] and completely change the topic of his webcomic. There was at least one example involving a literal anthropomorphic mouse, too.
** Example: An extraterrestrial police officer battles Earth gangsters with illicit alien tech (the main plot-line), then the plot is about ProfessionalWrestling (because [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment why the hell not]]), then the same character has a wacky episode about hiding their SecretIdentity (never an issue in later strips), then there is suddenly a F-to-M transsexual with PsychicPowers (he wanted to [[WriteWhoYouKnow add a friend of his into the plot]]).

After assigning his own sense of outrage at the idea to, uh, everyone else in the world, David consoles an outraged Sally, offering a solution. Famous that it got ''Ken Penders''' attention.

An original story based loosely on ''MagicTheGathering'' done in a MagicalGirl style. In ancient times, a portal between Earth and Dominaria was briefly opened and then sealed off, leaving behind artifacts which contained the souls of mages. In modern times, a young girl named Jamie came in contact with one of these books and was infused with a spirit of a Planeswalker. The symbiotic creature now acts as a paragon of justice... when not just being a giant {{Jerkass}}. Adam Packbell appears in a ''Franchise/YuGiOh''-esque tournament based on Magic, and Richard Kronos and Sue from Night Soldiers appear in the audience.

A trilogy of tangentially linked stories incorporating the character of David "Davey Crockett" Kintobor into the world of SonicTheHedgehog.
