* CluelessAesop: It's a fanfic about Super Smash Bros., a lighthearted fighting game, that tacks in themes such as [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil slavery]] and [[FinalSolution genocide]]. The story takes both of these matters seriously, but forgets that the source material isn't normally geared for fanfics like these.
* DarkFic: A gritty and brutal fanfic about video game characters duking it out in a fun, bright fighting game.
* OutOfFocus: You'd think it happens to a majority of the Non-Main Guardians, who disappear for chapters and then reappear for small but important scenes. [[spoiler:Example: Sam doesn't appear for a few chapters except as small bits of no importance, then mentions the missing Guardians and goes to find them, needing to be rescued himself later.]]
