Serial Escalation/Fan Works


 * It's fortunate that Neon Genesis Evangelion and Warhammer 40,000 have already been mentioned, because Shinji and Warhammer 40 K combines both (obviously). What Rule Of Cool-laden method will be used to kill the Angel this time? What literally impossible thing can the AT-Field be used for next? How thoroughly can Tokyo 3 be destroyed? How much CAPSLOCK can be inserted into the next In the Name of the Moon speech? What new Batman Gambit can Shinji pull off? How much More Dakka will Kensuke need? How much carnage can apocalypse Rei inflict? Which meek, unassuming and/or pathetic character becomes completely awesome due to Shinji's mere presence?
 * If it weren't for the fact that the story's over, the Halo fanfic Enemy of My Enemy could be taken as this. The armies of the two sides are ridiculously huge (numbering several million), and the weapons get more and more advanced with each reveal.
 * Dungeon Keeper Ami: How bad will Ami's undeserved reputation get? What clever idea will she come up with next? How bad a situation can she find herself in and pull herself out of? And just how much of an out-of-context problem can she become for the rest of the Keepers?
 * Beginning a New Path, written by stargatesg1fan1, is an epic tale of Harry Potter and the Endless Crossover with a somewhat promising opening chapter... Which quickly boils down into a seemingly endless series of bad smut and over-the-top solutions to every problem (real *and* imagined) of an equal number of fictional realities. Fourth Wall? What are you talking about?  Crossovers involved include the Stargate SG 1 and its spinoffs, several other Harry Potter realities, Justice League, AVATAR, Resident Evil, and more - and none of these would be complete without the main character adding one or more girls from the new reality to his Harem.
 * How long could Yu-Gi-Oh fanfic Skin possibly get? 500,000 words? 700? 1,000,000? The story isn't even half-way through according to the author, and while YMMV, a majority of the readers are in agreement with it only getting better as it goes on in its violent path of mind-screw dreams and over the top card-battles.
 * The same as above can be said about Dragon Age the Crown of Thorns. Counting almost 650,000 words, it has been a constant fount of epic gambits epic battle scenes, snarky humor, character developments and overall badassery on the part of the seven Grey Wardens, culminating in the most recent chapters with All in all, there is no telling what will happen next because a major plot point has been changed, and it was definitely not the only one.
 * Cornova and Jakayrta (writers of Poke Wars) have a habit of making each battle more epic and destructive than than the last.
 * The length of Ronan's penis in Naruto Veangance Revelaitons. It starts out as a foot long, which is unrealistically long since Ronan is thirteen, then later descriptions have it as two feet long, then four feet long, then five feet long, and as of Chapter 34, forty-five feet long.
 * The Oogakari in Yet Again might as well be the trope codifier for Fanfiction.
 * Uninvited Guests...well, let's say it starts from Yachiru burning entire 11th division brrack down while trying to bake a cake and currently at the point where the Gotei 13 using Komamura as . Yeah, it's that kind of fic.
 * Thirty Hs. From space armor to groinsaws to killing the fuck out of planets using another planet's corpse and vampire cavemen on Mars, it might as well be called Harry Potter: Serial Escalation
 * Imperfect Metamorphosis: How much worse can Reimu's day get? How can the situation get any worse? Exactly how much can we
