* NightmareFuel: The abuse Charlie suffers at the hands of her mother in the first story. She is left with several bruises and injuries that leave the other characters horrified, and unlike other AbusiveParents in the series, it is taken extremely seriously, ''especially'' when Ms. Pierzynski [[spoiler: force feeds Charlie bleach and hospitalizes her.]]

*CharacterRerailment: most of the characters such as Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Wendy act like their early seasons counterparts in the series, even when the stories are supposed to take place in fourth grade.

* UnpopularPopularCharacter: Charlie is rather unpopular in-universe, but she has quite a lot of fans. Her ask account also has several friends. Lampshaded by [[http://askcharlie.deviantart.com/gallery/35727953#/d4v1hcp this drawing]].

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: The moral of ''Elephant Balls'' is, apparently, that [[spoiler: it's okay to lie sometimes, such as saying your teacher is dying of brain cancer instead of scrotum elephantitis]]. This is PlayedForLaughs, though.
* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: At least one per episode.



* TheLoad: Kenny, if you think about it. Aside from ''Mysterion Has Tittyvision'' and ''Elephant Balls'', he doesn't really do anything except [[TheyKilledKennyAgain die]].

* ValuesDissonance: Most stories have some questionable elements, this is justified, since they are WesternAnimation/SouthPark fanfics.

** the boys’ treatment of Charlie in some stories can be viewed as sexist, but most notably in ''Mysterion Has Tittyvision'' where they treat her horribly, doesn’t allow her to join their Super Heroes’ group and in the end, they never get called out for doing that and in ''Girls Scoults'' is implied that they not even consider her as their friend.

** Charlie’s personality, she is TheIngenue who is often submissive towards the boys and rarely complains when they make fun of her, feminist readers could easily see her as a passive female character who barely stands up for herself.
