History Fanfic / ReturnOfTheLawndaleMilitia

* ContrivedCoincidence: ...it is very unlikely that a teenager from the late '90s in America would have seen or read ''Manga/TheRoseOfVersailles'' considering that the manga was never released in English and the anime didn't get licensed until 2012. (Even claiming that she'd seen the 1979 live-action film ''Lady Oscar'' is a stretch, as that was only released in Japan and France.) As fansubs were hard to come by if you weren't in college and had an anime club to hook you up, there's not a chance Daria heard of this to the point where she would immediately connect Shun's being raised female with Oscar's masculine upbringing.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Brittany "practicing her jumps" causes this.

* AdaptationalGenderIdentity: In canon, Shun is feminine in appearance and mannerisms, but only pulls the "bent gender" gag once as part of a hazing on Kazuya. Beyond that, he identifies as a heterosexual male and has no interest in actually being a woman. Here, Shun is a trans woman who has just gotten breast implants and also voices her love of men and her wish to get the rest of the surgery done so she can be a fully biological woman.

%%* OutOfCharacter: In addition to [[Fanfic/TheMiserySenshiNeoZeroDoubleBlitzkriegDebacle the previous story]]'s derailments, this one adds some new ones!

''Return of the Lawndale Militia'' is the sequel to ''Fanfic/TheMiserySenshiNeoZeroDoubleBlitzkriegDebacle''. As with his first story, Peter Guerin's second contribution to the ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' fandom is a crossover with ''Franchise/SailorMoon''. However, this sequel is a MegaCrossover that adds the casts of ''Manga/HereIsGreenwood'', ''Anime/RidingBean'', and ''Manga/GunsmithCats'', creating a sort of continuity stew.

The "exciting" sequel to the "popular" ''Fanfic/TheMiserySenshiNeoZeroDoubleBlitzkriegDebacle''!

And then it proceeds to get all of ''those'' characters completely wrong as well.

* GenderFlip: Shun goes from a cisgender boy in his home series ''Here is Greenwood'' to a transgender girl.

** In the actual ''Manga/HereIsGreenwood'', Shun is feminine in appearance and mannerisms, but only pulls the "bent gender" gag once as part of a hazing on Kazuya. Beyond that, he identifies as a heterosexual male and has no interest in actually being a woman. In the ''fanfic'', Shun is a transgender woman who has just gotten breast implants and also voices her love of men and her wish to get the rest of the surgery done so she can be a fully biological woman.

* AttemptedRape[=/=]BlackComedyRape: Shun's nearly being raped should be horrifying, but the author plays the discovery of his actual gender by the rapist as [[PlayedForLaughs humorous]].

As the title suggests, the remains of one of the terrorist groups from the last story are once again attempting to retake Lawndale and install their hyper-conservative regime. They're recruiting the help of Shinobu Tezuka's sister due to her ties to the yakuza allowing her to funnel them weapons, which puts the cast members of both ''Riding Bean'' and ''Gunsmith Cats'' on a plane to Lawndale to investigate the weapon sales. This eventually puts the entire cast of characters back in UsefulNotes/{{Tokyo}} for a final showdown, and LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters does not even begin to describe it.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: To the point where you can get a WallOfText just from the ''paragraphs'' needed to establish how many people eventually end up in one scene at the same time.

* PantyShot: Yes, in text. So gratuitous that it even includes a ''foot note'' from the author describing the prevalence of panty shots and nudity in anime (note that he gets that wrong as well.)

** In the actual ''Manga/HereIsGreenwood'', Shun is feminine in appearance and mannerisms, but only pulls the "bent gender" gag once as part of a hazing on Kazuya. Beyond that, he identifies as a heterosexual male and has no interest in actually being a woman. In the ''fanfic'', Shun is a pre-op transgendered woman who has just gotten breast implants and also voices his love of men and his wish to get the rest of the surgery done so he can be a fully biological woman.

The original story can be found [[https://web.archive.org/web/20051118180556/http://www.outpost-daria.com/fanfic/return_of_the_lawndale_militia.txt here]]. The MST is still [[https://web.archive.org/web/20160804111837/http://home.netcom.com/~mblackwl/rlm.txt here]], though the authors of the MST had little familiarity with the less mainstream crossovers used for this story. This resulted in many of the jokes focusing on both the characters relative obscurity to the average media consumer and the insane personalities they received here.

!!Tropes:

* {{Calvinball}}: Mack [[WeNeedADistraction distracts the guards]] with a card game called "Flopputs", which Guerin admits is a {{Homage}} to "Fizzbin" from the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E17APieceOfTheAction A Piece of the Action]]".

* ArtisticLicenseEngineering: The yakuza use walkie-talkies the way most people use cell phones now. The problem is, walkie-talkies are short range radios, not long-range telecommunications devices that can cover a metropolitan area the size of Tokyo (one of the largest cities ''in the world.)'' Ironically, at the time the story was written, cell phone saturation in Japan was far higher than in the US, to the point that it would have made more sense to just include them in the first place...

** If anything, it looks like Guerin was making a ShoutOut (or is it a TakeThat?) to OsamuTezuka, with a rare absence of footnote.

* {{Homage}}: More "scene liftings" are passed off as these; in particular, a rip-off of ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}''' ghost traps is used to hold off Misako.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: To the point where you can get a WallOfText just from the ''paragraphs'' needed to establish how many people eventually end up in one scene at the same time.

* YouCanKeepHer: Inverted in the {{MST}}.
