Well, often the key elements might include the characters from Danny Phantom in a very different and dark situation. The school setting is a major part. There could be elements of how the characters react to the threat of a shooting. For example, Danny might use his ghost powers in unexpected ways to try and protect his classmates. Maybe his friends like Sam and Tucker also play important roles, like helping to evacuate other students or trying to figure out who the shooter is.
No, it's not a very common genre. Danny Phantom is mainly associated with its original themes of ghost - fighting and high - school - aged superheroics. School shooting fanfiction is a very dark and serious topic, and it doesn't really fit the more light - hearted or action - adventure feel of the typical Danny Phantom story.
The concept of good and evil could also be redefined. In the regular Danny Phantom series, he fights against ghosts with his own set of moral guidelines. But in this fanfiction as an archangel, he might be more directly involved in the cosmic battle between ultimate good (represented by the archangels) and ultimate evil. His actions and decisions would then carry a much greater weight in the grand scheme of things.
Character interaction is also crucial. Writers often explore how Danny and Iron Man would get along, given their different personalities. Danny is a teen with a sense of adventure and a good heart, while Iron Man is a brilliant, sometimes cocky, billionaire inventor. And of course, there's the common enemy or problem that brings them together. It could be a villain who wants to use both their powers for evil or a threat that spans both their universes.
One key element is the clash of different universes. Danny Phantom comes from a world of ghosts and supernatural, while Catwoman is from the gritty Gotham city. So, how the two worlds collide and interact is important.
One key element is the build - up of suspense. Writers often take time to show the hints and clues that lead to Vlad's reveal. For example, strange behavior or unexplained events.
A good Danny Phantom crossover fanfic should have a well - developed plot that combines the two universes in a logical way. For example, if it's a crossover with Teen Titans, the reasons for Danny and the Titans to meet and work together should make sense.
One unique element can be the combination of the supernatural with medical settings. For example, Danny might have ghost - related ailments that normal medicine can't cure. So, they have to find ghostly remedies within the hospital. Another is the interaction between Danny and the hospital staff who might be freaked out by his powers.
One idea could be that Danny gets an illness that affects his ghost powers. For example, he might start losing control over his intangibility or invisibility. This could lead to some really comical or dangerous situations. Another idea is that his friends try to find a cure for his strange ghost - related illness while also keeping it a secret from the town.
One interesting story could be about Danny and Sam going on a ghost - hunting adventure together. They might discover a new type of ghost that has unique powers and they have to figure out how to defeat it using their combined skills.
One interesting plotline could be Danny's secret identity being revealed at school in a very unexpected way, like during a science experiment gone wrong. Maybe the ectoplasm reacts with something and his powers are exposed in front of the whole class.
