Perhaps in this fanfiction, Cinderella discovers a hidden power within herself that is both a blessing and a curse. It helps her get revenge on her step - family, but also attracts unwanted attention from dark forces. And instead of a glass slipper, it could be a cursed object that binds her to the prince in a more menacing way.
One plot idea could be that Bella is transported into the Cinderella story. She uses her modern - day knowledge to help Cinderella in a new way, like teaching her self - defense so she can stand up to her step - sisters. Another could be that Cinderella has some of Bella's traits, like being a bit clumsy at times but still having a heart of gold. A third idea is that Bella discovers that Cinderella's fairy godmother is actually a powerful witch from her own world, and they have to team up to defeat an evil force that threatens both of their worlds.
One idea could be that Cinderella is a secret superhero. By day she endures the cruelty of her stepfamily, but by night she uses her superpowers to help the poor in the kingdom. Another could be that the prince is actually under a curse too, and only Cinderella's true love can break both their curses. Or perhaps Cinderella is an inventor in disguise, creating amazing gadgets that she uses to outwit her stepfamily.
In a modern - day cinderella story fanfiction, Cinderella could be a struggling artist. The prince is a wealthy art collector. They meet at an art exhibition instead of a ball. Cinderella's art catches the prince's eye, and he is determined to find the artist behind it, leading to their love story.
One idea could be a modern - day Cinderella where she is a struggling artist in a big city and meets her prince at an art gallery. Another could be a Cinderella in a steampunk world, with all the mechanical gadgets and a unique take on the classic story. Or perhaps a Cinderella fanfic where she is a mermaid - like creature in an underwater kingdom and the prince is a sailor who discovers her world.
You could write a 'the dark crystal fanfiction' about a Skeksis who has a change of heart. Perhaps this Skeksis realizes the error of their ways after seeing the destruction they've caused. They then try to secretly help the Gelflings, all while hiding their new - found compassion from the other Skeksis. This would add an interesting layer of drama and conflict to the story.
One idea could be exploring a different ending for the story. Maybe the main characters find a new way to defeat the evil forces that was not shown in the original. Another could be a time - travel based fanfiction where a character goes back in time to change certain events that led to the current situation in Dark Shadows 2.
One idea could be exploring the backstories of the characters in more depth. For example, you could write about how a particular character came to possess their unique powers in the Dark Legacy 2 universe. Another idea is to create an alternate ending to the game's story. Maybe in your fanfiction, the main villain has a change of heart and teams up with the heroes. Or you could focus on a side character and give them a more prominent role, like a minor mage who ends up saving the day through their unexpected magic abilities.
Perhaps the dark protector is a person who was wronged in the past and now uses his skills to protect those who are also being oppressed. He could operate in the shadows of a big city, saving the poor and the weak from the clutches of powerful criminals. This would add a touch of vigilante justice to the fanfiction.
Well, you could focus on the relationships between the characters in Dark Cloud. Like writing a fanfic about how Goro and Ungaga became friends. Or you could take the setting of the game and expand on it. Suppose there are other hidden areas in the Dark Cloud world that the main characters haven't discovered yet. Write about their adventures in those areas.
One idea could be to explore the darker side of the PPGZ characters' powers. For example, Blossom's leadership could turn into a controlling dictatorship within the group. Another could be a scenario where the villains manage to corrupt the girls, making them fight against the very people they once protected. Maybe a new, extremely powerful villain emerges who uses mind - control on the PPGZ, leading them to do his bidding in a very dark and twisted way.
