3	Set eight years after the cartoon, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3882056/1/Frankie-Rules Frankie Rules]]'' is a ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' fanfic that tells of what could happen to the cast after Madame Foster's death.

4	----
5	!!''Frankie Rules'' provides examples of:
6	* AccidentalMisnaming: Even after eight years, Bloo still thinks Berry is named "Heather".
7	* AdaptationNameChange: Goo's real name is "Gunilla".
8	* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the show canon, Frankie forgives Goofball when he shows her genuine gratitude for taking care of him at the end of the episode. In this story she instead has hatred for him.
9	* {{Crossover}}: One chapter reveals Mac is related to Tommy from ''WesternAnimation/RobotBoy'', who has also been aged up like Mac. It also reveals that Robotboy eventually did become a real boy (fittingly named "Robbie"), and Bloo thinks he's a robot who "has batteries up his ass" ([[Main/CassandraTruth he's right for once]]), and that Tommy and Lola are an OfficialCouple.
10	* CrossoverRelatives: The fic makes Mac from ''Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends'' the cousin of Tommy from ''Robotboy'', due to their similar character designs.
11	* DarkAndTroubledPast: It's implied that Berry has one, but it's [[MysteriousPast otherwise not touched upon]].
12	* DeathByAdaptation: Madame Foster, obviously.
13	* DoNotCallMePaul:
14	** Goo's first name is "Gunilla" but she hates being called that.
15	** Frankie isn't fond of being called "Francis".
16	* HonorBeforeReason: Despite any past crimes, any imaginary friend that come to Foster's is welcome.
17	* ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin: Mac intentionally gets himself sugar high for kicks.
18	* LastNameBasis: Herriman changes from calling Frankie "Miss Francis" to "Madame Foster" after she becomes the new owner of Foster's.
19	* LaserGuidedKarma:
20	** Bendy and Goofball ''finally'' get some comeuppance for their antics, with Wilt and Frankie both coming down on Bendy when he tries to pull his WoundedGazelleGambit shtick and Goofball getting assigned as [[{{Gasshole}} Count Flatula's]] roommate.
21	** After Mac and Goo secretly have sex at Foster's multiple times, leading to the Friends asking ''very'' awkward questions, Frankie lets the friends tear the house apart and then assigns her employees to clean it all up by themselves.
22	* MustHaveCaffeine: Not outright stated but implied for Mac given that Frankie and Goo both talk about Mac's morning coffee as something normal and harmless. Bit weird given [[ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin the way he reacts to sugar]], though it's possible he reacts to caffeine differently.
23	* MistakenForRomance: Bloo, being Bloo, believes that Wilt and Frankie are having a SecretRelationship. It's a bunk rumor.
24	* NamedByTheAdaptation: Madame Foster's given name is "Martha". It's worth noting that this was what people thought her first name was at some time, because in "Neighbor Pains", it sounded like Old Man Rivers addressed her as Martha. This was debunked when he was actually saying "Foster", and you can even see Rivers' lips forming an F when he says this.
25	* OriginalCharacter: Eric Johnstone is an imaginary friend-focused psychiatrist and [[spoiler: a love interest to Frankie]].
26	* PlotTriggeringDeath: Madame Foster's death means Frankie's in charge of Foster's.
27	* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Tommy from ''WesternAnimation/RobotBoy'' is Mac's cousin.
28	* SecretRelationship: [[spoiler: Eurotish]] and Eduardo are secretly together.
29	* ShipperOnDeck: Madame Foster went through the trouble of setting up a situation to get Mac and Goo to confess to each other.
30	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Goo is instantly able to tell that Mac is related to Tommy because their heads are similarly shaped.
31	* TimeSkip: The fic takes six years in the future. It also features frequent small timeskips between scenes and chapters.
