''[http://www.atlantaspring.com/dca Dark Chao Adventures]'' was an [[Long Runner|eight-year-running]] [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] [[Fanfic]] series starring a bunch of [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Dark Chao who go on adventures.]] Created by [[Tropers/D Jay 32|DJay32]] when he was but a wee ten-year old in 2005, DCA consisted of [[Archive Panic|eighty-eight episodes, two or three spin-off series, three Halloween specials, countless radio recordings, a forum RP and a half, at least three different development blogs, a Wiki, a Facebook page, a number of forums, two artists, tons of fan art, four sets of shorts, and a feature-length standalone script.]] Just off the top of my head.
 
While it started off dealing with the Darks as they fought the Heroes, as the years, episodes, and seasons went on, the plots grew more and more complex, and the Sonic characters showed up less and less. To sum the plot up so far, there's these guys called the Beta Avengers who were from Season Two before it effed up and DJay had to redo it, and so they're all mad about it so they came in around Season Three to wreak havoc for a few seasons. In Season Six, a grey Dark chao named Shade had to go collect seven chaos emer--''drives'' so he could evolve into a Dark/Swim chao and.. beat the bad guys.
Line 15:
* [[Action Survivor]]: Shade. Obvious with his future self, but he's really starting to show it in recent seasons.
* [[Alien Geometries]]: A lot of places, but most memorably the forest of Sancheria in the 2010 Halloween special.
* [[Always Night]]: The Dark Garden. Just like in [[Sonic Adventure 2 (Video Game)|Sonic Adventure 2]].
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: There are a ''lot'' of "DCA Adaptions" of video games.
** Episode 39 is [[Portal (Video Gameseries)|Portal]]. 42 is [[Half-Life (Video Gameseries)|Half-Life]]. 43 is [[Grand Theft Auto (Video Gameseries)|Grand Theft Auto]]. 44 is [[Metal Gear Solid]]. The first half of 49 is [[Metroid Prime|Metroid Prime 3.]]
** Season Seven has ''entire serials'' dedicated to affectionately parodying things. First, there's ''The Game-Maker Must Be Crazy,'' (54-58), which is of [[Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty]]. Then there's ''Still Waiting for Half-Time'' (59-63), ''[[Half-Life 2 (Video Game)|Half-Life 2]]''. Then there's the bookends of ''Quinquenquoi,'' (64 and 73) which are of [[Bio ShockBioshock]]. Episode 64 is of Nightmare House 2, a Half-Life mod. ''The Epic Quest in A Flat Minor'' is of a hodgepodge of [[Progressive Rock|prog albums.]] ..so ''yeah.''
** How can we forget the earlier ones? Episode 8 contains parodies of Sonic 3. 18 contains an expy-of-sorts of popular DOOM mod ''Sonic Robo Blast 2.'' Most of Season Four is a tribute to the "secretcity" maps in Half-Life mod ''Sven Co-op.''
** Then there's the special scripts. DCA09 returns to the "secretcity" maps. DCAHall2 is [[Gears of War]]. DCAHall3 Tale Two takes inspiration from [[Metroid]] and [[Stephen King]] while paying a beautiful tribute to [[Marble Hornets]]. Tale Three is the original Nightmare House mod for Half-Life 2.
Line 88:
* [[Flanderization]]: Inverted. The cast was very cartoony, extreme, wacky, and caricature-like in the early episodes. As time went on, they started to get a ''lot'' more realistic, a lot more serious, their defining traits starting to lock horns and blend.
* [[Four Is Death]]: Played with. For the majority of Season Four, the chao are in a city where they can respawn indefinitely. They take advantage of this and die a lot.
* [[Freeze -Frame Bonus]]: Actually pulled off in a ''text-based'' series. In DCAHall3, there are a lot of what look like typos. ''They're foreshadowing.'' Then, in Log Entry #33, "Forest Off-Limits," there is the occasional word that is slightly different (a "you" instead of "me," a "seize" instead of "sees").
* [[Fridge Logic]]:
** In-universe! Red seems to be the only one who wonders how chao can pee when they have no 'bits.' Amusingly, artist [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Logic also had this bout of Fridge Logic.]]
Line 125:
* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]: Happens a lot with the Veteran's Committee. They never just "appear." They always ''walk in.''
* [[Oh Crap]]: Happens frequently. Hell, it happens ''a lot'' in just DCAHall3.
* [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]: In Season Seven serial ''Still Waiting for Half-Time's'' fourth part, every character gets a codename. One new character, Adrian Ruthford, codenamed "Jack White," is rarely referred to by anything but "White."
* [[Ontological Mystery]]: DCA09, on a very large scale.
* [[Out of Focus]]: There are ''third-party chao?''
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Dark Tails. Needless to say, he hasn't been a Poker Gang member in a very long time. Though he made an appearance in Episode 60, where he probably died. But he died fighting. In a fire. Laughing maniacally. He went out with honor.
* [[Prequel]]: [http://www.atlantaspring.com/dca/missions.html DCRPG.]
* [[Reality Warper]]:
Line 173:
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: '''''Poker is serious business.''''' People have lost lives over it.
** "I thought we were playing Go Fish."
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?]]: Sure, it's about cute little 'dorable folk you can raise and breed in a Sonic game. It's still got [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]], some ridiculously complicated plots, scripts with more swears in them than ''[[Conkers Bad Fur Day (Video Game)|Conkers Bad Fur Day]]'', and [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|the occasional sexual reference.]]
* [[White Void Room]]: The Space/Time Rip Beyond the Planet of Pure Dooky, or "STR" for short.
* [[Word of God]]:
