Yes, it can be. Fanfiction that involves torture often delves into dark and disturbing themes. It can be quite unsettling for many readers as it goes against the more positive and heroic nature usually associated with 'Danny Phantom'. Such content might explore the extreme suffering of characters, which is not in line with the general light - hearted or action - adventure feel of the original work.
Well, it might be a form of catharsis for some writers. They may have their own experiences or feelings of pain and suffering that they project onto the characters through torture in the fanfiction. Another reason could be that they are simply trying to break the boundaries of the normal 'Danny Phantom' narrative. By introducing such a dark and disturbing element like torture, they are trying to create a new kind of story that challenges the traditional perception of the show. However, this does not mean it is a widely accepted or positive form of fanfiction, but it exists due to these complex reasons.
In this fanfiction, it could be that Danny Phantom meets a Danny Phantom from a parallel fan - made story. At first, they don't trust each other. But as they learn more about each other's worlds, they realize that there are some common elements that are being threatened. It could be that a powerful ghost is trying to rewrite all the fanfic universes related to Danny Phantom. So, they must combine their strengths and knowledge to stop this from happening.
Well, in this kind of fanfiction, Danny could be controlled by an ectoplasmic parasite. The parasite latches onto Danny and takes over his actions. His eyes might glow a different color to show he's not in control. His friends would first be confused, then realize something is amiss and start investigating.
Another possibility is that he's facing some emotional turmoil. Danny has a lot on his plate. He has to keep his identity a secret from his friends and family, deal with school, and fight ghosts. All this stress could be causing him to lose his appetite. He might be too worried or preoccupied to even think about food.
One possible story could be that Danny is facing a new and extremely powerful ghost. He needs help from his friends Tucker and Sam. Maybe they need to find a rare artifact to defeat this ghost. They could start by researching in the local library, looking through old ghost lore books. Tucker uses his tech skills to try and track down any leads on the artifact's location, while Sam uses her knowledge of the occult.
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.
Obviously, the main character would be Danny Phantom himself, but in two different forms or versions. One would be the original Danny Phantom from the canon source, and the other would be a version created by the fanfiction. There might also be his friends like Sam and Tucker who could play important roles in helping the two Dannys understand each other and deal with any issues that arise from their meeting.
He might meet a nurse who has some sort of psychic ability and can sense that Danny is different. This could lead to an interesting interaction where Danny has to be extra careful.
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.
