* CrackPairing: While very short-lived, [[spoiler: Sanjay and Trixie]]. [[AWizardDidIt A Genie Did It]].
* FanonDiscontinuity: The story was started before the [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents series]] was UnCancelled and the ninth season was shown. Instead, the story is set sometime after "Timmy's Secret Wish." Thus, [[TheScrappy Sparky the fairy dog]] from "Fairly Odd Pet" wasn't used. Nor was Chloe Carmichael, the character that was introduced in Season 10. [[spoiler:Based on the DistantFinale shown in the last chapter]], the live-action movies are also ignored.



* HilariousInHindsight: The idea of [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings using a volcano as a way to destroy magical objects]] and [[spoiler:Timmy almost dying by an anti-fairy dropping him into lava]] showed up in this story a few months before the premiere of Film/AFairlyOddSummer.
* MoralEventHorizon: [[AbusiveParents Amanda's parents]] manage to make her cry on ''Christmas morning''. You ''will'' cheer when Norm immediately gives the pair the flu in retaliation.
** They cross it again (if that's possible) in "Tales as Old as Time", when they admit - ''in front of Amanda'' - that the only reason they didn't put her up for adoption when she was born is that her grandmother would have cut them out of her will, and that they hate being stuck with her. Which only makes Norm's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech all the more satisfying.
* TheWoobie: Amanda... Her parents are well to do, but totally neglect her, seeing '''any''' attempt at interaction with her or spending any cent on her to be [[ChildrenAreAWaste a waste of time and money]]. ''[[AbusiveParents And they've told this to her face so often that she knows it by heart.]]'' As a result her self-esteem is so low, she doesn't feel she should be upset by it, so she can't qualify for a Fairy Godparent, and sees ''Timmy's parents'' as perfect . Even [[JackassGenie Norm]] feels sorry for her, and a lot of his development comes from realizing that he would torture such a girl in the first place. [[spoiler: Her reaction when Timmy tells Amanda the truth about Norm is just heartbreaking.]] Thankfully Timmy's friendship and Norm's own growing affection help her get better, and at the very least, her parents were neglectful enough that she never had to deal with Vicky.
