While wandering around the fandom for a few weeks, people might began noticing that the stories are never the same, but they have similar ideas and context. Biggest example NSL. However, I began noticing that those stereotypes are more present then we actually think, so I wanted to share these stereotypes.

The way I'm doing this is: In this website only, I tag all the fanfictions written in english, with the only restriction being the rating (T or lower) and, obviously, it has to have the name of the character tagged, I'll check the summary and the first chapters. The first stereotypes are focused on the main characters, besides Lincoln, because literally half of the fandom has his name tagged. (I'll probably make a special for him in the future)

Honestly, though, there is a reason for the word stereotype. They don't mean all the stories. As an example, when we talk about an NSL fic, we automatically assume is about Lincoln running away or dying, and granted there are tons of those, but there all also fics which have totally different approaches. These aren't what a fic really is, but rather what people might think when they see your fic, so please don't be offended. It is supposed to be only for fun. Okay? Then let's start

FICS STEREOTYPES

LORI

Generic story

Surprisingly, most of the stories with the Lori tag fall in this category. This is the 'it involves all the family members, but I can only select four characters'. these will always appear with Lincoln, and whenever it has more siblings, secondary characters, or an OC, in varies from story to story. There's not much more to say about it, since the main topics are high spread, but you can bet that half of those are one shot collections

The help a sibling story

Since Lori is the older sister, this is a main focus of her fics. It will usually fall into one of the three categories: 1- One of the younger siblings had a nightmare 2- The older siblings have doubts about growing up, and 3- Lincoln needs help with Ronnie Anne. They are mostly one shots, and will always have that cute family bonding moment. it might not be realistic but the authors don't care, they just want to give the family some good moments, which is actually good, judging by the number of fics related to tragedies.

Fight with Lincoln

Apparently, people like a good fight between Lincoln and Lori. You won't see Lori fighting with any other sister ( Only Leni, if it is using the Brawl in the Family as an inspiration, but even then, it's not that popular). This stories will end up with Lincoln running away or killing himself, so Lori, and other sisters, have to fight for forgiveness. These tend to be longer stories with more chapters, but they mostly end with Lincoln forgiving his sisters. NSL is sometimes the topic for this fics

Relationship with Bobby

This topic has been in the fandom since Bobby was presented to the public. In the beginning, you had stories about the two getting married, or dating, or building a family, or something similar, mostly one-shots. After the Relative Chaos episode, those fics began to focus in how Lori, and Lincoln by that matter, deal with their boyfriend and girlfriend moving away

Lincoln: She's not my girlfriend

Author: We're in the fandom, kid, the writers decide that.

Lincoln: Dammit

Relationship with Clyde

When you have a character that passes out every time you see a girl, you can bet your ass it will make a good plot for a fic. This stories use Bobby betraying Lori or Lori being jealous of Bobby as an excuse to a Clyde-Lori relationship. There aren't a lot of them out there, but the one that exist are usually very short, and are exploiting more of Clyde's ways to deal with the fact he's dating the 'love of his life', rather then Lori herself. It usually ends a little better than in the actual episodes

Moving to college

It is not surprising that, considering Lori's age, college wouldn't be a good tool for writing. They don't speak about Lori's life in college itself, but rather her goodbyes when she leaves, and usually it has one of those 'one of the siblings doesn't accept, and he and Lori have a talk in private'. The authors probably had an older brother or sister who had already left for college, or just imagine how it would feel if that happened.

Parents disappear

Imagine if Lori had to take care of her ten siblings without parents. That's what this guys are all about. There's almost no explanation to why they have disappeared, at least in the first chapters, and you most likely will find Lori having to deal with financial problems and her sibling emotional problems. In theory, it sounds like one of the most well elaborated subjects, but, like always, there's the good fic, and the bad fic. Honestly, you never know who can save or screw a whole story plot.

Carol P.

I'm only mentioning her due to her strange roll in the fandom, even if she doesn't have loads of stories. And no, I'm not talking about her relationship with Luna (That's for another moment). I just find it funny that, after her first appearance, the stories would revolve around Lori and her fighting to see who's the most popular. More recently, though, she has become Lori's closest friend, and they have to work together to get out of sticky situations. I just find funny such an alteration in character personality, butis the power of the fandom, I guess

Well, those are the major stereotypes I manage to find in this fandom. I'll be doing Leni next. Keep in mind it's not what I think, it is what the fandom thinks, so if you have a stereotype (I'll be doing Leni next), please let me know, and I'll include with the proper credits to whoever send it.

Please leave a like or a favourite, if you enjoyed this idea. I know it's not exactly the best, but I hope to improve with the help of those who want this 'fic' to move forward. Again, this is a satire, it is meant to be funny, not offensive. Thanks for reading, and see you on the next chapter
