I have just recently reworked the ÜberFic Index Categories to include all Fandoms, and not just the XenaVerse. I'd love some feedback on how accurate you think I am.
Muchly appreciated.ÜberIndex Categories:
Canon:
These FanFics take the traits and consciousness/personality of the original source material’s characters and puts them into newly created characters, in a new place, time, reality, and/or genre. These new characters do not necessarily mirror their counterparts in appearance, but generally do so in attitude, skill, moral code, agenda, actions/reactions, family dynamics, emotional/spiritual/mental growth and/or outlook, etc. These FanFics can cross over into the Proto- category.
Classic:
These FanFics show the newly created characters sharing a strong and unusual bond that transcends time and space. They are linked in a way that goes against, or beyond, the laws of nature. They will always be in each other’s lives, no matter their incarnations, or the dimensions they exist on. Their lives are not complete/whole until they have met at a crossroad and have embarked on the same path.
Proto:
These FanFics contain the descendants of the original source material’s characters. These descendants share a strong and unusual bond, and find each other against all odds. These FanFics can cross over into Canon and Classic categories, but rarely at the same time.
Faux/Near:
These FanFics take characters from the original source material and relocate them into different times, places, worlds, etc., either as immortals, body possessors, or time-travelers.
Missing Links:
These FanFics have the soul/spirit/mind of an original source material’s character inhabiting the body/mind of a newly created character. The possession can be a mutual sharing of the body/mind by both parties involved, or not.
Post:
These FanFics have been edited for publication. They still have the essence of the original source material from which they have sprung, but they have been stripped of all that belongs to the original copyright holder/s and replaced with all new material. In some cases very little need be cut, or modified, as they sprung from their source wholly original.
Uberesque:
These books, shows, movies, and plays have an identical story structure and character dynamics to that of another original source material, but have no connection other than their similarities. They were created without any influence from that particular outside source. (That is known of.)
