User blog comment:Weavillain/What Are Some "The Loud House" Fanfiction Tropes That You Enjoy?/@comment-4618045-20170912185906

Eleven minutes is not a lot of time to tell a story, let alone build characters. Some shows can do it very effectively (like Steven Universe and SVTFOE). Heck, Loud House can be successful at it too. But I think what a lot of people look for when making fanfics is to go over things the show can't quite achieve.

One thing I really like is when a story takes the time to see what happens in a particular character's head, to get to root at what makes them tick. Obviously, this may require some headcanon or loose interpretation of canon, but it's always fun seeing how various writers interpret characters. And I guess if I wanted to be more specific, I'll add that I like stories that show quite clearly that the sisters each have their own problems. The Loud House is not some supernatural purgatory Lincoln was dropped in to atone for some sin; it's a real living situation that affects everyone in very human ways. The show hasn't had the time or focus to examine that beyond Lincoln, so for now it's our duties as writers to fill in the gaps.

Thats the main, universal thing I enjoy. But I do have a longer list of very specific tropes I enjoy

- Fics about Leni

- Fics that deal with college or other issues with growing up

-Fics that show that it's okay to just be friends

- Fics that deconstruct tropes on the show (tastefully)

-Fics where the parents are treated as competent, loving, responsible caregivers
