What makes a Competent Tony Stark Fanfiction stand out?

Characterization. When Tony Stark is written true to his smart - aleck, yet kind - hearted nature, it makes for a cute fanfiction. For example, if he uses his intelligence to do something sweet like creating a special gift for a fellow Avenger or a child.

The exploration of emotions makes a fanfiction special. Imagine the youngest Avenger feeling like an outsider among the older and more experienced Avengers. Tony, who has also had his share of feeling different, can relate to them. The fanfiction could delve deep into their insecurities, hopes, and how they form a bond over shared feelings. This emotional depth can set a 'Tony Stark and the Youngest Avenger' fanfiction apart from others.

The plot matters a great deal. It could be an action - packed adventure where they save the world together, or a more slow - burn, emotional story about them falling in love while dealing with Tony's personal demons. A unique plot, like the reader being from a different dimension and Tony having to figure out how to get them back home while falling in love, would make the fic stand out.

One great Tony Stark fanfiction is 'The Iron Man's Redemption'. It shows a different side of Tony, dealing with his past mistakes and trying to make amends in a very human way. Another one is 'Stark's New Beginning' which focuses on Tony exploring new technologies after the events of the Avengers movies. And 'Tony Stark: The Genius Unleashed' is also a popular one where his intelligence is really highlighted as he solves complex problems.

A strong plot. It should have a plot that goes beyond the obvious. Instead of just retelling what happened in the show or the books, it could take an alternative path. Maybe it could explore what would have happened if Robb had made different decisions during the War of the Five Kings. This kind of plot exploration requires intelligence and creativity from the writer.

One possible reason for it to stand out could be the way it portrays the growth and development of both the underlings and the main character. The underlings, being so competent, may not seem like they need to grow, but perhaps they have internal struggles or face challenges that force them to evolve. And the main character, in dealing with such powerful underlings, also has to grow as a leader. This dual - track development could be a unique selling point of the 'my insanely competent underlings light novel'.

A stark contrast fanfic can stand out if it has unique plot twists or unexpected character developments.

Well, his technology is a big factor. Fanfic writers often give him technology that gives him powers like a god. For example, he could have a suit that allows him to control all forms of energy or be in multiple places at once. Also, his influence over other characters and the world around him can be written in such a way that he seems like a god. He might be the sole protector or the one who decides the fate of the world in the fanfiction.

His relationships can make him seem not egotistical. For instance, when he's interacting with his friends like Rhodey or the Avengers, he might be shown as more collaborative and less self - centered. He could listen to their ideas and value their input, which is different from an egotistical person who only thinks their own ideas are good.

A unique 'Blood and Water Arya Stark fanfic' stands out when it delves deeper into Arya's emotions. In the original story, Arya often suppresses her feelings to survive. A fanfic could explore what happens when she finally lets her guard down. For instance, in a story where she falls in love, how does that change her approach to life and her goals? It's this kind of emotional exploration that can make a fanfic really special.
