History FanFic / TheSecretLifeOfTheBackyardKids

The Secret Life of the Backyard Kids is probably the most famous BackyardSports FanFic [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative that doesn't have anything to do with sports]]. It was written by a girl known as rose64bud in deviantART, who started publishing it from November 2011 to June 2012.

* AdrenalineMakeover: Samantha Pearce goes from "cute surfer girl" to "rock chick." Subverted in that she (apparently_ only looks that way in Chapter 9. Jorge might be an even better example, despite being male, going from DirtyCoward PrettyBoy to a TallDarkAndHandsome [[hottip:*: He had the appearance, but not the [[AloofBigBrother attitude]]. {{Badass}} AntiHero.

* AntiHero: Jorge's starts out as a Type I, and is usually a Type II but on his bad days he's a Type III or, on his ''really'' bad days, type IV.[[hottip:*: In Chapter 6, he ''destroys his dad's car and one window in his bank.'' Although to be fair, his dad is a {{Jerkass}}.]]

* FanficChopSuey

Tropes:

* ClingyJealousGirl / ShallowLoveInterest: Angela

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted by Tiffany, played straight by Jorge. Also, the above aversion lead to a string of events in story.

* CuteAndPysco: Tiffany.

TSLOTBK is different from most fanfictions written by teenage girls. There's HoYay but no slash, and no MarySue. It's late 2008, and Jorge Garcia had just outran Pablo Sanchez [[RunningOnAllFours on all fours]], but he doesn't know why. He finds out he has magic powers, and that the reason he outran Pablo was because he was so powerful. He uses his powers to defeat an AlphaBitch CompleteMonster, Tiffany Stevens, all the while, trying to live a normal life. What's more, Achmed starts a budding romance with Samantha Pearce, even though Tiffany is his girlfriend.
