In fanfiction, fem Sheldon Cooper often retains her extreme intelligence. For example, she can still rattle off complex scientific facts. However, she may also show more emotional vulnerability compared to the male Sheldon. Maybe she'll cry when her experiments fail instead of just getting frustrated.
One popular fem Sheldon Cooper fanfiction is 'The Female Sheldon's Adventures'. It explores how a female version of Sheldon would interact in the same scenarios as in the original show. Another one could be 'Fem Sheldon in College', which focuses on her college experiences with a new take on her character's quirks.
Good Sheldon Cooper fanfiction usually stays true to his character. It should have his unique quirks like his OCD tendencies, his love for his spot on the couch, and his obsession with certain topics. For example, a story that shows Sheldon freaking out when someone sits in his spot is a classic. Also, it should have his distinct way of speaking, with his precise use of words and his nerdy references.
If Sheldon and Penny were in a fanfiction where Penny is pregnant, their friends in the group would also play important roles. Leonard might be jealous or concerned about how this will change the dynamic. Raj and Howard could offer their own brand of comical advice. The story could explore how the entire group adjusts to this new development, and how Sheldon and Penny's relationship evolves not just as a couple dealing with pregnancy, but also within the context of their friendship circle.
One common theme is friendship development. Fanfictions often focus on how their relationship grows from being just neighbors to really good friends who understand each other's quirks.
In this fanfiction scenario, Sheldon might start researching everything about pregnancy and child - rearing from a scientific point of view. He could make elaborate plans and charts, while Penny is just trying to come to terms with the physical and emotional changes. Their different approaches could lead to some really funny and also some very touching moments as they learn to support each other.
Although there is no true story for Sheldon Cooper, there are parallels to real - life geniuses. Sheldon's dogged determination to be right in intellectual debates is something seen in real - life intellectuals. They often engage in intense discussions to prove their points. Also, his need for a structured environment and routine to function well is similar to how some highly intelligent individuals with specific ways of thinking need order in their lives. His quick thinking and ability to solve complex problems are also traits that real - life geniuses might possess.
Sheldon Cooper does have roots in real - life scenarios. The idea of a brilliant mind being out of touch with normal social norms is not uncommon in real life. For example, some scientists are so focused on their research that they might seem odd in social situations, just like Sheldon. But the character of Sheldon is a composite of many ideas and has been developed to be a lovable and hilarious character on the show. His backstory, his relationships with his friends and family, are all fictional elements built around this basic concept of a super - intelligent but socially inept person.
