Accusation Fic: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

An '''Accusation Fic''' is a [[Fix Fic]] or [[Revenge Fic]] with a [[Fandom Specific Plot]] of type B -- that is, with a plot unique to the fandom it's written in. It is generally written directly because of [[Canon]] events.

An '''Accusation Fic''' is a [[Fix Fic]] or [[Revenge Fic]] with a [[Fandom-Specific Plot]] of type B -- that is, with a plot unique to the fandom it's written in. It is generally written directly because of [[Canon]] events.

Perhaps the actions of the lead characters demonstrate [[Moral Dissonance]]. Perhaps there was a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] moment in which the canon author sided with the hero but the [[Fanfic]] writer didn't. Perhaps it's [[Values Dissonance]] between the author of the canon and the fanfic writers.

Line 14:

* In ''[[Lilo ~~and~~ Stitch: The Series]]'', the eponymous [[A Boy and His X|girl and her illegal genetically engineered alien]] are tasked with [[Gotta Catch Em All|capturing the other 625 experiments and repurposing them before the bad guys get to them]]. However, some would naturally be caught in order to avert a [[Boring Invincible Hero]]. Some fans cried foul about how Lilo appeared to seem to just let some of the captured experiments go. ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1691952/1/Experiment_166_Fury Experiment 166: Fury]'' (which may in fact be the first Accusation Fic, [[Older Than They Think|depending on how old the genre actually is]]) invents a [[Sailor Earth|specially-made fan experiment]] that calls Lilo out on this, and at the end the she and the others go and rescue the until-then captured experiments.

* From ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'' fandom:

** At the end of season 4, Wilson asked House to risk his life to save Amber's. House did. Then Wilson broke off his friendship with House because he failed to save Amber, even though House did what was asked and couldn't have done anything more... This event is ''still'' being written about, and a high percentage of the fics are going "What the hell, Wilson?" in one capacity or another.

* From The [[Charmed]] fandom:

** Many Cole fans wrote accusation fics about how that Phoebe had flat out dumped Cole despite all the good he had done after he came back. Also, how that Phoebe never even bother to find out that Cole was possessed by the Source of all evil ''against his will''. There's a fairly good fic called [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1350100/1/The_Cleansing The Cleansing]. It showed the direct side effects of what might happen.

* Pick any [[Mass Effect]] fan fic that deals with the aftermath of Horizon, particularly if Shepard romanced either Ashley or Kaidan. Chances are, 4 times out of 5, it will be a thinly-veiled accusation fic against the first game love interest (though it is worth noting that Kaidan gets the brunt of this more than Ashley does).

* The ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' magnum opus ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4088139/1/Stormbenders Stormbenders]'' was written by an author who believed Aang wasn't a true hero, that he was selfish and refused to grow up and change and thus painted him as an unsympathetic child. In her view it was ''Zuko'' who was the Real Hero (and more importantly, [[Die for Our Ship|deserved Katara's love]] [[Ship-to-Ship Combat|more]]).
