Often, a ripoff Christmas story might have weak writing, predictable storylines, or fail to bring the magic and charm we associate with the holiday. Maybe it just feels like a cheap copy of better Christmas tales.
Maybe some cheap action figures that are clearly modeled after Star Wars characters but are of very low quality. For example, figures that look like Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker but with really bad paint jobs and flimsy plastic.
Look for products with names that are similar to Star Wars terms. For instance, if there is a product called 'Star Bites' which has a packaging showing a space - themed adventure, it could be a ripoff. Also, check for characters that seem like knock - offs of the well - known Star Wars characters. If a figure has a black cloak and a red lightsaber - like object but is not an official Star Wars product, it's probably a ripoff.
Gumball is sure to be one of the main characters, as it's in his name. His family members like Darwin and Anais are also very likely to be main characters.
One plot idea could be that Gumball loses his braces and has to go on a wild adventure to find them before his next orthodontist appointment. Maybe they got accidentally mixed up with Darwin's fishbowl accessories and are now at the bottom of the ocean.
A more dramatic fanfiction could involve Marshall getting into some trouble with a group of bullies. Gumball, being the loyal friend, comes to his rescue. But in the process, they both learn some valuable lessons about standing up for themselves and the importance of friendship.
Since it's a fanfic, it may also bring in elements that the fans have always wanted to see. It might give Gumball some superpowers or put him in situations where he has to make really tough moral choices. The new gumball fanfic could be a great opportunity to see the world of Gumball from a different perspective, with new settings, new conflicts, and new ways for the characters to interact.
Maybe it's one of the school bullies who got hold of a magic book and decided to play a prank on Gumball by casting a love spell. They thought it would be funny to see him act all lovey - dovey, not realizing the chaos it would actually cause.
An interesting character interaction could be between Gumball and the school bully. The bully could make fun of Gumball's braces, but Gumball uses his quick wit and the braces as a sort of weapon. For example, he could shine the braces in the bully's eyes to temporarily blind him and make his escape. This would show Gumball's resourcefulness and also how the braces can be an unexpected asset.
One great Gumball and Carrie fanfiction could be a story where they go on an adventure in a magical forest. Maybe they discover a hidden world full of strange creatures and have to work together to find their way back home. This kind of story would explore their friendship in a new and exciting setting.
