All Purpose Frozen Fanfiction Thread

So here's another somewhat eerie example of my fanfics predicting Frozen Fever without me even trying to. At the end of Frozen Fever, all the mini-snowmen go to live in the Ice Palace with Marshmallow, and there's a joke where they flood the palace and Olaf gives every single one of them a Punny Name the way he did Marshmallow.

Well, my fanfic, which was written ages before we had any preview info about Frozen Fever at all, has pretty much the exact same scene, only with regular-sized snowmen. (Ctrl F to "Now that the eternal winter was once again gone...") I think this is because of two things:

1. The "army of snowmen" idea was something I took from an unused Frozen plot thread, which is probably also where Frozen Fever got the idea of the mini-snowmen from.

2. Both my joke and Frozen Fever's joke are a Call-Back to Olaf naming Marshmallow.

So I guess this isn't a complete coincidence, but still. I'll take any similarities between my fanfics and official Frozen sequels as a good sign.

It seems Frozen has overtaken Labyrinth in the number of fics on Fanfiction.net (I know, quantity is not quality and all that, but it's a fun metric anyway). Now to beat Thor...

Hah hah! The rest of the Disney princesses stumble into the Beast's castle. I like where this premise could go!

"The League of Princessy Gentlewomen" (and Candace) ?

Hmm. I have to agree with Spash, figuring out what Elsa can do with her powers is fun.

Flight makes sense because she already can blow herself around winter winds. I've given her access to lightning thanks to thundersnow, and her icy magic has essentially cryogenically preserved her for several hundred years.

I'm taking that the original Trials Of Elsa fic has gotten some more revisions?

I'm revising it as we speak. How'd you know? Did you notice it has 81 chapters now instead of 82? I fused the old chapters 14 and 15 together because chapter 15 was, like, 2000 words long. It was the shortest chapter in the whole story, and it picked up right where 14 left off, and there's not really a need for dramatic cliffhangers anymore since it's all one complete story now anyways.

By the way, I got a really good idea for Trials of Anna last night, so I'll be writing that at some point in the future.

I watched the word count shrink. And the loss of a chapter, making me have to redo a number of bookmarks I'd made for chapters in the story after chapter 14.

The entire art gallery trip has to be one of my favorite sequences. I mean, it's dramatic and funny all at the same time. I think the funniest part is the cut between Anna, Elsa and Kristoff confronting the guy that is caught painting "Helsa" paintings, and them hauling said guy's entire inventory of abstract art back to the castle. And subsequently, I love the conversation Anna and Elsa have as they look at the new paintings, because it's some of the best "classy art humor" I've seen.

I feel sorry for the Helsa shippers now that "Frozen Fever" has been released and dashed any hopes they might have of Hans getting together with Elsa. :) Even though some Helsa works have been fairly decent, like the two-parter "Warm Hugs" or "Frozen Hearts''.

So when do you suppose your "Trials of Anna" work will be set in your continuity? I presume it could start at the end of "Frozen Fever" and continue on.

Oh wow, I had no idea people bookmarked the chapters. Sorry about that. I just squished chapters 14 and 15 together because 15 was abnormally short and picked up right where 14 left off. Also, I've gone through all of part 1 (since that was the earliest writing and therefore the crappiest) and polished it up a bit. I had this weird thing where I'd word sentences in needlessly verbose ways, and it really reads better to make it as concise as possible. Hence the word count shrinkage.

Glad you liked the gallery sequence. That's probably one of the story sections I worked on the hardest. Fritz was thrown into the story on a whim, and I had a lot of headache deciding just what the heck I wanted to do with him. By part 3, I knew I had to go ahead and get his character resolved because by the time Elsa went Brainwashed and Crazy, I wouldn't really be able to fit in any more of Fritz's plotline, so I went ahead and did a whole story arc devoted to resolving his character conflict. I was kind of terrified people would hate it and get sick of Fritz if I gave him too much focus, but I think it worked out for the best. Once his subplot was dealt with, Fritz could vanish from the story whenever I needed him to, so I think giving him like eight chapters of focus in a row actually let me use him less often, if that makes any sense.

Also, I don't give the shippers even the tiniest drop of sympathy. I feel nothing towards them but hatred and a vague sense of revulsion.

Trials of Anna will be set immediately after Frozen Fever. Elsa is still sick and Anna is forced to temporarily serve as queen. Antics ensue.

Any Hans/Elsa fic has basically also been rendered non-canon by Frozen Fever. Anyone think that the manure cart in that scene where Hans gets a giant snowball on top of him was a small Back To The Future reference (where Biff would, once a movie, get covered in manure)?

Having seen Olaf get subjected to so many amusing injuries, I think he has made it a new meme for any form of gruesome death: "Oh, look at that. I've been [X]! Hahahahaha!" I mean, Fritz reducing him to a pile of slush and Olaf's only response is "Oh, look at that. I've been mutilated!" I also find that you probably created the best explanation for Olaf's nasally voice: that it's the voice Elsa heard in her head whenever she created Olaf as a kid.

At any rate, it will make sense: just like the original Trials Of Elsa is a Continuation Fic of Frozen proper, Trials of Anna can be the Continuation Fic for Frozen Fever.

The Hans/Elsa and Hans/Anna fics are just as much a red flag for me as the Elsanna ones.

Yeah, because the sisters wanting to bang the sociopath who tried to murder them was such a canon idea in the first place...

Trials of Anna will probably be about the length of Trials of Mary. There's no way I'm putting myself through writing another Doorstopper Frozen fic. Heck, editing the original behemoth is hard work enough... Besides, Trials of Elsa is really only so long because it's a bunch of unrelated fanfic ideas I had, and I decided to squish them together into one big epic fanfic instead of writing them all seperately. From now on, any Frozen fic ideas I have will just get their own fics.

I actually think pairing them with Hans is a little worse from a real-life point of view because at least the sisters would never try and murder each other. "I'm really sorry about before, and I totally promise I won't knife you in your sleep to get the throne! Good night, honey! Sweet dreams!"

-gasp-
Spash actually think there's something worse then Elsanna? Egads!

In all seriousness, if people wanna ship Elsa with somebody, they probably find a good crossover.

Not mine, though. No shipping for Elsa there.

I did say "from a real-life point-of-view," not based on what personally ticks me off the most.

Actually I agree. Elsanna is "all love must be romantic" bad (also, Squick). Hans / either sister is "50 shades of gray" bad. In my book that is actually slightly worse, real-life or not.

On the other hand, most Hans shipping fics don't actually involve him knifing the sisters in their sleep (which is eye-rollingly out-of-character for Hans), whereas the incest fics really do follow up on the disgusting thing promised by the premise.

Has there ever been a fanfic showing what might have happened if Elsa had arrived to Oaken's before Anna did?

Elsa never went by Oaken's at all. Oaken hadn't seen her when Anna asked. Why would Elsa even do that? She was trying to run away from society. If anything, she'd be avoiding a trading post-slash-sauna like the plague.

Some Helsa fics can be written fine. But some can cross the line. I mean, that's entirely the reason why I find fics like Trials Of Elsa, as well as fics like this one, and this one much better.

Any premise can be written well, but there are some premises I just find inherently terrible, and pairing the sisters with Hans is one of them. It doesn't matter how good the writing is, it completely goes against the characters and the point of Frozen.

So, in your opinion, "Helsa", "Elsanna," and "Hansanna" shippings are all out (the only shipping that should be allowed is "Kristanna"). What are some other Frozen fanfic premises you find go against the spirit of the movie and everything related to it?
