The plot should be engaging. It could involve Sonic facing new and more dangerous enemies that test his limits. Like, he might have to deal with a powerful, malevolent force that is slowly corrupting his world. Also, a good use of the Sonic universe's lore and other characters is important. For instance, how Sonic's friends react to his darker transformation can add depth to the story. They could be scared, or try to help him regain his true self. This creates interesting character dynamics within the fanfiction.
A good dark sonic fanfiction often has a unique take on Sonic's character. Instead of the usual cheerful and heroic Sonic, it shows his more vulnerable or darker side. For example, it might explore how Sonic copes with failure or loss in a darker setting.
