reworded outsider fic, added gappy stu fics since they've become a growing phenomenon

Changed line(s) 5 (click to see context) from:

to:

* The "Outsider Fic" subgenre, where somebody (often an AuthorAvatar, but may also be any kind of original character) somehow ends up within Gensokyo, either by accidentally/purposefully slipping through the Hakurei border (which, according to canon, is common), or by Yukari (in a sub-subgenre increasingly known as "Gappy Fics"). As a result, FishOutOfWater antics ensue as they get aquainted with this FantasyKitchenSink, and the outsider must either learn to live in this new land or find a way back home. Occasionally, they'll arrive just as an incident begins and they're forced to take part in it for one reason or another, teaming up with the canon characters. A fine example of this is [=ChibiChen=]'s ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8475931/1/Mind-the-gap Mind The Gap]]''.
** There is also the SoBadItsGood subgenre of "[[SelfInsertFic Gappy]] [[MartyStu Stu]] Fics," wherein an AuthorAvatar is gapped into Gensokyo by Yukari, makes friends with several of the residents, becomes super strong after training with Reimu and Marisa, and beats up a bad guy in one of the worst incidents to ever hit Gensokyo. These fics [[KudzuPlot start hundreds of subplots]] due to LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, but never answers them [[TheChrisCarterEffect before the readers just give up]]. This subgenre was [[DeconstructionFic taken apart]] by ''Fanfic/DiamondInTheRough'', showing the shallowness of these self-insert characters while addressing how dangerous Gensokyo can really be.

Added line(s) 7 (click to see context) :

* The four great Fandom-Specific Explanations of ''Touhou'' are summed up by a well-known [[MemeticMutation meme]], namely [[http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/6487/1227762377713zd9.png this doujin panel]].
** [[AWizardDidIt Magic]]: Magic in ''Touhou'' is not [[MagicAIsMagicA overly defined]], so it can be used to justify whatever need be justified.
** [[MadScientist Eirin's shady new drug]]: Eirin's tendency to make unusual concoctions of dubious pharmaceutical benefit and bizarre effect is often used to justify strange happenings. ''Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth'', [[BrokenBase generally]] considered canon, uses this one.
** [[RealityWarper Yukari is fooling around again]]: Yukari is extremely powerful, extremely lazy, and extremely capricious; the plots just write themselves.
** [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly It's a Moriya Shrine conspiracy]]: After their introduction ''Mountain of Faith'', every single "main" game in the series (''Subterranean Animism'', ''Unidentified Fantastic Object'', and ''Ten Desires'') was either directly or indirectly caused by the Moriya trio's (more specifically Kanako's) attempts to gather more faith from the population. Suffice to say fanon took it and ran with it.
