''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/3718170/knives4cash knives4cash]]''
* Recommended by Insano, Mcnickel, Tropers/{{Zelenal}}, Colincaelin
* knives4cash is a pleasure to read when it comes to one-shot shipping and friendship for the White Rose and Bumblebee pairings. With over fifty works on the shelf with his series [[http://archiveofourown.org/series/59430 "Pollination: The Bumblebee and White Rose,"]] you'll be laughing and smiling for a good while, and the occasional references, crossovers, and alternate history writing make the experience even better.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1389991/momoxtoshiro Momoxtoshiro]]'', also known as [[http://hanasaku-shijin.tumblr.com/ Hana]]
* Recommended by Mcnickel
* One of the more prolific writers of the RWBY fandom, Hana makes a point of updating weekly at a minimum, often on what she calls RWBY Tuesdays. Her works run the gambit from uplifting fluff to crushing angst, and while a large number of her works are one-shots, her series, especially [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10347106/1/Gold Gold]], are very well-received.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/5203302/Codyknight22 CodyKnight22]]''
* Recommended by Colincaelin
* Apart from his own stories, he is most notable for his [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Codynight22 Cody Talks Fandom]] youtube series, which features several interviews with RWBY cosplayers, game makers, and fanfic writers among the RWBY fandom. There is also his Cody Talks Fanfic series, which focuses on notable fics within the fandom.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1036244/ Dinas Emrys]]'', also known as [[http://redsuitwriter.tumblr.com/ RedSuitWriter]]
* Recommended by Colincaelin
* A writer who focuses primarily on action-heavy romance, however, he has a preference for longer-length series over one-shots. Good work, although he tends to run multiple series at the same time and has longer waits between updates. As of writing, his ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9916943/1/Premium-Well-Redux Premium Well Redux]]'' is the highest-rated story in the RWBY section of Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn. His Vigilante AU series also includes a Prequel episode written by knives4cash featured above, and he is a writer on the ''VisualNovel/SummerRoseCourt'' project.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2324139/God-Emperor-Penguin God Emperor Penguin]]''
* Recommended by [=LadWatcher=]
* God Emperor Penguin is known for being one of the most, if not the most, bizarre fanfiction writers of RWBY. His works are mostly shipping fics involving Jaune and a random female character. The quality of his works is very good and it never fails to entertain, however, he has a tendency for writing endings that readers have described as completely disappointing such as how it was done in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10714768/1/Betrothed Betrothed]]'' thus earning him the title of troll. His account is shared by other two writers, one of them is also a RWBY fanfiction writer who is the author of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10850018/1/Inch Inch]]'' (described below).

* One of the writers on ''VisualNovel/SummerRoseCourt'', one of the highest regarded smut writers in the FNDM, the namer of the 'Enabler' ship, and an incredible writer who has also done PG romance. Highly recommended.

* Recommended by[= PunslingerYang=]
* An exceptional humor and romance writer. They've written many different pairings, and they've also written some very good angst, as well as a few more dirty works. Of particular note are ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/4782431/chapters/10940858 Miscommunication]]'', a monochrome angst piece, ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/4960024 Off the Tracks]]'', which is bumbleby romance/humor, and ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/4878607 The Team Furnace]]'', which is a good teamwide humor fic that seems to be shaping up into Bee's Schnees.

[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11505586/1/RWBY-The-Parody RWBY: The Parody]] by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/4330301/Maniac92 Maniac92]]
* ''Recommended by'': DarkDeceiver
* ''Status'': Ongoing
* ''Synopsis'': RWBY is the tale of Ruby Rose, an adorable fifteen-year-old girl who slaughters monsters! Hooray! With the help of her sister, a temperamental heiress, and a girl who definitely isn't hiding anything, Ruby will battle monsters, criminals, and the inane humor that comes with being in a parody. Rated T for strong language and suggestive humor.
* ''Comments'':
** A retelling of RWBY, but with a healthy dose of humor, lots of lampshading, and 4th wall breaking. Characters are both OOC and in character at the same time, and the Author manages to retell the series by both keeping it largely the same, and by breaking it down and lampshading it.
* ''Tags'': Humor, Parody.

'[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10993112/1/Grimm-Heir Grimm Heir]]'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/5371971/DeadRich18 DeadRich18]]
* ''Recommended by'': miner249er

It has brought forth countless monsters to combat man and his creations in an attempt to annihilate him completely. But as the years pass, man becomes stronger and wiser, he becomes able to fend off its monsters. And now the creator comes to a realization. It needs an heir.
* ''Comments'':
** A story where the author does something different and writes a story that mainly focus on the Grimm, the author does a great job in writing/characterizing the Grimm as well as creating Original Characters for the story.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11297352/1/Redemption Redemption]]'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/4177532/RainStorm4 RainStorm4]]
* ''Recommended by'': [=LadyRochester=], enderheisenberg
* ''Status'': Ongoing, post-''Breach''
* ''Synopsis'': RWBY, told through the eyes of Russel Thrush and his team. Friendship, drama, (hopefully) some humour to build up some characters with a lot of potential who, at the moment in the show, are fairly 2D. CRDL-centric, but with plenty of interaction with the other teams. Russel/Yang ultimately.
* ''Comments'':
** A well-written fic, told through the eyes of a snarky and complicated Russel Thrush, that fleshes out these characters and explains a lot of plot holes in the first Volume. CRDL becomes actually sympathetic and likeable, and the romantic subplot is surprisingly believable without detracting from the story. Short characters with frequent updates.
** This is how fleshing out is done. Believable humor, innovative relationship writing and a good look at what Jaune have done wrong.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11445776/1/Harrow-to-Zion Harrow to Zion]]'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/3928220/Starspike7 Starspike7]]

* ''Synopsis'': Tawn has found a reason to live after fourteen years of nothing. He wants power, he wants family, and most importantly he wants to know why he was only told of his mother's death instead of seeing a body. In the midst of it all, a man is stealing semblances and marked him as a target.
An OC fic different from the norm.

* ''Recommended by'': Juny23
* ''Status'': Ongoing
* ''Synopsis'': In an attempt to raise Jaune's low self-esteem, Pyrrha and Ruby employ an unorthodox method: hypnotism. Shockingly, the hypnosis works, and Jaune is now the very picture of confidence. Although, he is acting a little stranger than usual, but it shouldn't be anything too serious, right?

* ''Recommended by'': Tropers/GreenGoblin
* ''Status'': Ongoing
* ''Synopsis'': Beacon has had its share of extraordinary new students as of late, but one more is about to be accepted in that trumps them all in just how unusual he is. Those learning at the academy will soon find that sometimes your peers can teach you lessons as well… and that the most sinister plans can be hidden.
* ''Comments'': Despite the somewhat vague summary, the story itself is a well written (both in terms of content and grammar) and interesting ride. The plot runs parallel to the series canon and the author has made it a point to make sure that the events of the main plot don't change for the most part, with only slight alterations when they do. Mind you, this doesn't mean the OC characters don't interact with the main cast, they do, but they're all well done and add depth to the main plot. You could easily see this story with its characters existing in RWBY canon. It even has its own side story called ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10098591/1/XTRA-Resolve XTRA: Resolve]]'', which covers material not seen in the main fic, at least, for the most part. The characters are great, have their own lives, and while the focus is on the protagonist, we still learn about them as well. Easily one of the best RWBY OC stories out there, I can't recommend it enough.

* Recommended by Malchus
* ''Status'': Dormant.
* ''Synopsis'': Being from a family of heroes, Jaune had long ago realized that heroism wasn't all it was cracked up to be. It was just plain sense to take a safer course in life. Unfortunately, nobody bothered to tell him that the world just didn't make sense. Inspired by the Literature/CiaphasCain series of Warhammer 40K.
* ''Comments'': While based on the Ciaphas Cain books, the author does not ape the series and eschews the first-person biographical style for a third-person style with alternating character [=POVs=], getting into the mind of each. Has an interesting take on Jaune in that while outwardly he acts very close to his canon self, inwardly he, like Cain, schemes for a way to keep from getting into trouble (and fails due to rotten luck).

* ''Comments'': Basically, Jaune gets covered in some special Dust that makes every girl in Beacon go crazy for him... including RWBY, Nora, Velvet, and a couple of OCs. If you like watching Jaune suffer, you're bound to get a laugh. A few grammatical issues, but it's still legible.

The scope of the fic gradually expands to general tropes like Beach Episodes and genderbending, other things like video games; One chapter even covered this very wiki, referencing the Trope Pantheons. It also often features actual fics the writer deems worthy of attention. Word of warning, though; the fic is 70 chapters long and counting and the author doesn't seem to be set to stop anytime soon.

It's also consistently funny and mostly lighthearted, though there is occasional mood whiplash into some fairly bleak territory. Also be advised about more risque scenes.

''FanFic/RemnantsReclaimer'' by Hysterical Clerical Hijinks
* Recommended by: Cuda, EvilMaster, Dame-Amaryllis
* Status: Ongoing
* Synopsis: Ruby finds herself facing her end. As she pushes her semblance to new heights, the world breaks. In one fluid, crystallising moment everything changes. A 23 year old Ruby Rose, one of the deadliest hunters on Remnant, spills out of the void and into the dorm of team RWBY, including a 15 year old version of herself. A hunter in a world of unknowing prey.
* Pairing: Ruby/Blake (Ladybug), Weiss/Yang (Freezer Burn), Older!Ruby/Glynda (Hoodwitch)
* Comments: Time travel AU fic but done so incredibly well. Eight years of war has transformed Ruby (known in the fic as Rose) into a very complex, tragic and dangerous person. And also incredibly brazen, vulgar and horny, which thoroughly embarrasses her younger self and teammates along the way. All the characters are magnificently written and the world-building and plot is so detailed that it's awe-inspiring. This is a fic that would be good enough to be its own spinoff series.

Essentially, RWBY [[XMeetsY meets]] ''TabletopGame/CardsAgainstHumanity''. HilarityEnsues as everyone gets in on some very hilarious card choices from unexpected characters.
* Comments: Gut-busting hilarity abounds, some off-color humor is involved, but then again, it's ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice Cards Against Humanity]]'', which is the whole point. Ren gets a very interesting sense of humor, and deadpans some of the funniest cards and responses.

* ''Tags'': {{Continuation}},
* ''Comments'': Rated Mature on Fanfic for themes, alcohol use, and canon-appropriate violence. Apart from a few pacing issues, the fic generally does a good job of sticking to canon-ish portrayals of the characters and expanding upon events within the show itself. Set several years in the future, to portray team RWBY as huntresses in their early twenties. Combat scenes are comparatively realistic and close to the in-universe fights and new weapon designs draw on updating historical mixes of melee weapons and firearms.

* ''Comments'': A AU in featuring Jaune in what is already a FandomSpecificPlot (Jaune is/becomes a {{Badass}}), and in which becomes Weiss' partner. What distinguishes this fanfic is how well it is written. The author puts considerable time and care in crafting his alternate-Jaune and Jaune and Weiss' interactions. A few spelling errors here and there, but very minor. Due note though, that due to Jaune's altered circumstances he's not that similar to his canon self, but he's not ''completely'' different either.

* ''Synopsis'': What if it was Nora that found Jaune in the Emerald Forest? Join our lovable members Nora and Jaune of Team JNPR as they partner up and set sail on the silliest adventure at their time at Beacon Academy!
* ''Comments'': The very first fanfic to DARE pair Jaune and [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Nora]] together, but pulled off so well it turns out to be NOTHING like a crack fic at all! True to form, you'll find yourself grinning from ear to ear from the very beginning at the antics of not only the ever lovable Nora, but the rest of the main eight; all while remaining completely believable and lifelike in its dialogue, detail, and consistency. That said, while Nora is still the epitome of wild randomness, simpleminded hyperactivity, and overwhelming energy, it also fleshes out her character, as she does get her moments. It's also a refreshing change from all the fics that try to turn Jaune into a badass from the get-go, designating him instead as the brains behind Nora's immense brawn. It's also one of the few to alter the beginning, with Nora being Jaune's partner due to a [[ForWantOfANail single small happenstance]], yet keep going with the dynamic of teams JNPR + RWBY as opposed to mixing it up. If you want a fun-filled, awesome, and lively story with our favorite ButtMonkey and Cloudcuckoolander, then this is the tale for you!

Also would Ruby cut it out with the knowing looks, I'm just returning a favour! Blake x Jaune realistic romance, focused on their times at Beacon Academy.
* ''Comments'': An unlikely pairing that's played very realistically, yet at the same time, it's done in a way that's both well written and in-character.

* ''Synopsis'': When Ruby Rose went to Beacon Academy two years early, she had assumed she was going to be the odd one out. Her sister, the Ice Queen Heiress and the mysterious dark-haired girl aside. What she didn't expect, what none of them expected, was that an even more mysterious teenager would join them. One with a power no other Hunter or Huntress has...and one that just may turn the tide..
* ''Comments'': This is an AU version of Ichigo who moved to Remnant with his family as a child. As a result, he was trained solely by Isshin and there was no secrecy about his lineage, meaning he has access to his Shinigami, Hollow, and Quincy powers at the start. Despite this, the author works to make sure Ichigo is not overpowered and everybody contributes.

''FanFic/XCOMRWBYWithin'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/6696011/DrAmishMD DrAmishMD]]
* Recommended by Ttran2323, [=OldBen=]
* Crossover with ''VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown''
* ''Status'': Complete, with author planning a sequel
* ''Synopsis'': A strange anomaly causes the members of Team RWBY to find themselves in the midst of Earth's full-scale alien invasion with no way of returning to Remnant.
* ''Comments'': A beautifully written fanfic with amazing characterization and plot devices. Lovely take on what would happen if the Huntresses met XCOM and what would follow. Also combines elements from the ''[[VideoGame/XCOMLongWar Long War]]'' mod [[spoiler:and is going to incorporate Remnant technology soon]]. Updates every Friday.
** Seconding the recommendation. Fic is very well-written, characters from both sides are faithful to canon and greatly fleshed out, there are several impressive(if a bit controversial) plot twists, and there's a balance between action, drama and comedy. And thanks to well-done exposition, you don't even need to be [=XCOM=] fan to enjoy it - although it'll definitely help.
** I genuinely CANNOT recommend this fic in the slightest. It turns RWBY from a team of LightningBruisers with incredible powers, strong and unique personas, and a knack for getting the job done their way into four little girls in soldier armor, stripped of an essential part of themselves and treating it like they lost some cool toys. The author forgot how much Ruby adores Cresent Rose and let's her causally hand it over to a bunch of mean people. The author turns Yang from a lovable, perky blond juggernaut into a moody bitch. Blake and Weiss seem to be there for the sake of having the whole team around, and Juane, who has been spending most of his screen time sticking up for his TrueCompanions, lets RWBY fall into a portal without doing anything about it.
** [[FanFic/XCOMRWBYWithin Now it has its own page]] in need of some WikiMagic.

With the help of her sister, a temperamental heiress, and a girl who definitely isn't hiding anything, Ruby will battle monsters, criminals, and the inane humor that comes with being in a parody. Rated T for strong language and suggestive humor.
* ''Comments'':
** A retelling of RWBY, but with a healthy dose of humor, lots of lampshading, and 4th wall breaking. Characters are both OOC and in character at the same time, and the Author manages to retell the series by both keeping it largely the same, and by breaking it down and lampshading it.

* ''Status'': Ongoing, post-''Breach''
* ''Synopsis'': RWBY, told through the eyes of Russel Thrush and his team. Friendship, drama, (hopefully) some humour to build up some characters with a lot of potential who, at the moment in the show, are fairly 2D. CRDL-centric, but with plenty of interaction with the other teams. Russel/Yang ultimately.
* ''Comments'':
** A well-written fic, told through the eyes of a snarky and complicated Russel Thrush, that fleshes out these characters and explains a lot of plot holes in the first Volume. CRDL becomes actually sympathetic and likeable, and the romantic subplot is surprisingly believable without detracting from the story. Short characters with frequent updates.
** This is how fleshing out is done. Believable humor, innovative relationship writing and a good look at what Jaune have done wrong.

He wants power, he wants family, and most importantly he wants to know why he was only told of his mother's death instead of seeing a body. In the midst of it all, a man is stealing semblances and marked him as a target.
An OC fic different from the norm.

* ''Synopsis'': Beacon has had its share of extraordinary new students as of late, but one more is about to be accepted in that trumps them all in just how unusual he is. Those learning at the academy will soon find that sometimes your peers can teach you lessons as well… and that the most sinister plans can be hidden.
* ''Comments'': Despite the somewhat vague summary, the story itself is a well written (both in terms of content and grammar) and interesting ride. The plot runs parallel to the series canon and the author has made it a point to make sure that the events of the main plot don't change for the most part, with only slight alterations when they do. Mind you, this doesn't mean the OC characters don't interact with the main cast, they do, but they're all well done and add depth to the main plot. You could easily see this story with its characters existing in RWBY canon. It even has its own side story called ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10098591/1/XTRA-Resolve XTRA: Resolve]]'', which covers material not seen in the main fic, at least, for the most part. The characters are great, have their own lives, and while the focus is on the protagonist, we still learn about them as well. Easily one of the best RWBY OC stories out there, I can't recommend it enough.

* Recommended by Malchus
* ''Status'': Dormant.
* ''Synopsis'': Being from a family of heroes, Jaune had long ago realized that heroism wasn't all it was cracked up to be. It was just plain sense to take a safer course in life. Unfortunately, nobody bothered to tell him that the world just didn't make sense. Inspired by the Literature/CiaphasCain series of Warhammer 40K.
* ''Comments'': While based on the Ciaphas Cain books, the author does not ape the series and eschews the first-person biographical style for a third-person style with alternating character [=POVs=], getting into the mind of each. Has an interesting take on Jaune in that while outwardly he acts very close to his canon self, inwardly he, like Cain, schemes for a way to keep from getting into trouble (and fails due to rotten luck).

But now, he won't even stay a thief anymore. He is going to become something infinitely tougher: a student in Beacon. Parallel to Team RWBY storyline.
* ''Comments'': One of the better RWBY OC fics, it breaks the norm by following the original characters on their own story rather then just having them tag along with Teams RWBY and JNPR. The original characters are entertaining, and the canon characters are used well without having them take over the plot. A few grammatical errors do not detract from this entertaining read.

Most of the characters are hilariously dark and manages to be really entertaining because of it. The jokes might turn you off if you're not into black comedy or just think the jokes are in poor taste. But I'm confident this series will at least give a few chuckles to most that choose to view it.

And also incredibly brazen, vulgar and horny, which thoroughly embarrasses her younger self and teammates along the way. All the characters are magnificently written and the world-building and plot is so detailed that it's awe-inspiring. This is a fic that would be good enough to be its own spinoff series.

* ''Comments'': The very first fanfic to DARE pair Jaune and [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Nora]] together, but pulled off so well it turns out to be NOTHING like a crack fic at all! True to form, you'll find yourself grinning from ear to ear from the very beginning at the antics of not only the ever lovable Nora, but the rest of the main eight; all while remaining completely believable and lifelike in its dialogue, detail, and consistency. That said, while Nora is still the epitome of wild randomness, simpleminded hyperactivity, and overwhelming energy, it also fleshes out her character, as she does get her moments. It's also a refreshing change from all the fics that try to turn Jaune into a badass from the get-go, designating him instead as the brains behind Nora's immense brawn. It's also one of the few to alter the beginning, with Nora being Jaune's partner due to a [[ForWantOfANail single small happenstance]], yet keep going with the dynamic of teams JNPR + RWBY as opposed to mixing it up. If you want a fun-filled, awesome, and lively story with our favorite ButtMonkey and Cloudcuckoolander, then this is the tale for you!

It includes and gives time to almost all the characters in the show as of the mentioned finale and several OCs but still focuses on the growing love triangle between Jaune, Ruby, and Pyrrha.

* ''Comments'': This is an AU version of Ichigo who moved to Remnant with his family as a child. As a result, he was trained solely by Isshin and there was no secrecy about his lineage, meaning he has access to his Shinigami, Hollow, and Quincy powers at the start. Despite this, the author works to make sure Ichigo is not overpowered and everybody contributes.

* Recommended by Tropers/{{jboone93}}
* Crossover with ''Machinima/RedVsBlue''
* ''Status'': Ongoing
* ''Synopsis'': Everything...taken from me. Gone from the world I once knew and thrown into an universe I couldn't imagine. Stuck within a world of creatures beyond my imagining, of hunters and huntresses. I have to get out of here, finally recovered I can start over. I have to go, I have to find the way back.
* ''Comments'': An interesting take on the world of Remnant from the eyes of the Meta as he tries to figure out how to return back to the world of Machinima/RedVsBlue. There are two OC's on Cinder's factions. However, they are established characters from other series that keep their personality.

''FanFic/XCOMRWBYWithin'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/6696011/DrAmishMD DrAmishMD]]
* Recommended by Ttran2323, [=OldBen=]
* Crossover with ''VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown''
* ''Status'': Complete, with author planning a sequel
* ''Synopsis'': A strange anomaly causes the members of Team RWBY to find themselves in the midst of Earth's full-scale alien invasion with no way of returning to Remnant.
* ''Comments'': A beautifully written fanfic with amazing characterization and plot devices. Lovely take on what would happen if the Huntresses met XCOM and what would follow. Also combines elements from the ''[[VideoGame/XCOMLongWar Long War]]'' mod [[spoiler:and is going to incorporate Remnant technology soon]]. Updates every Friday.
** Seconding the recommendation. Fic is very well-written, characters from both sides are faithful to canon and greatly fleshed out, there are several impressive(if a bit controversial) plot twists, and there's a balance between action, drama and comedy. And thanks to well-done exposition, you don't even need to be [=XCOM=] fan to enjoy it - although it'll definitely help.
** I genuinely CANNOT recommend this fic in the slightest. It turns RWBY from a team of LightningBruisers with incredible powers, strong and unique personas, and a knack for getting the job done their way into four little girls in soldier armor, stripped of an essential part of themselves and treating it like they lost some cool toys. The author forgot how much Ruby adores Cresent Rose and let's her causally hand it over to a bunch of mean people. The author turns Yang from a lovable, perky blond juggernaut into a moody bitch. Blake and Weiss seem to be there for the sake of having the whole team around, and Juane, who has been spending most of his screen time sticking up for his TrueCompanions, lets RWBY fall into a portal without doing anything about it.
** [[FanFic/XCOMRWBYWithin Now it has its own page]] in need of some WikiMagic.

* ''Comments'': This is an older, experienced Ruby Rose who has lost her naivete but not her heroism who lands in Westeros and starts changing up the Game of Thrones.
** I'm going to have to de-rec, on the grounds that the author needs to have less than one run on sentence a paragraph. There were many other problems, but that was a big one. -nate9799

*"Recommended by:" Sodaman101
* "Status": On Hiatus
* "Pairings": Blake/Yang/Neo (Blaked Alaska)
* "Synopsis": "To Trust is to Die" That was Neo's only rule. A harsh lesson, taught to her by life from the moment of her birth, with each day reminding her why those words were absolute. But for every rule, there is always an exception. And in her case, there were two. Contract Killer AU
* "Comments:" An absolutely wonderful story for such an underappreciated and unknown ship. It contains heavy amounts of angst, but it does have some light-hearted humor which doesn't make everything a tear-fest. Neo's origin story is hands down the most heart-wrenching thing about this story so far.

* ''Recommended by'': DarkDeceiver
* ''Status'': Ongoing'
* ''Synopsis'': RWBY is the tale of Ruby Rose, an adorable fifteen-year-old girl who slaughters monsters! Hooray! With the help of her sister, a temperamental heiress, and a girl who definitely isn't hiding anything, Ruby will battle monsters, criminals, and the inane humor that comes with being in a parody. Rated T for strong language and suggestive humor.
* ''Comments'':
** A retelling of RWBY, but with a healthy dose of humor, lots of lampshading, and 4th wall breaking. Characters are both OOC and in character at the same time, and the Author manages to retell the series by both keeping it largely the same, and by breaking it down and lampshading it.
* ''Tags'': Humor, Parody.
