The biggest thing that I have noticed is that no matter where I go I see the same overplayed story plots/interactions with the characters. These characters have been stripped of their unique personalities and have become just stereotypical. Every fanfiction I find the same layout of characters; Hiccup the smart loner, Merida the independent girl, Rapunzel the creative girl who wants to see the world, Jack the prankster. All of these characters and all the ones added on have become one dimensional and everytime I find something unique or different with the way they are depicted it is hated on for not following the main material.

And in regards to your last point about people like Mavis, Once-ler, and Ralph being safe. I honestly do not believe that. I have found so many things in so many places that just tear away at their character. That's why a lot of people can't stand the Big Four. This whole thing got out of control. The idea in itself isn't bad but what I can't stand is that the fandom is all about shipping. It's hard to find a fanfic where all of them are just friends. Writers often make them get along that quick even though they would actually have a hard time getting along.

I read a Breakfast Club AU on fanfiction.net but I stopped because it's all about Jackunzel and Mericcup. Nothing against those two but I'm just tired of it. Then, as usual, Eugene is a douche and Rapunzel has been in love with Jack for a long time.
