Well, it usually depends on the specific fanfiction. But often, the original main characters from the base story are still the focus. They might have evolved or changed in some ways during the second year of the time warp.
One interesting plot could be the characters facing a new, more powerful enemy that was hidden in the time warp all along. They have to use their wits and newfound abilities to defeat it.
One interesting storyline could be about the main character discovering a hidden power within the time warp. For example, they might find that they can manipulate time in a unique way that no one else can. This could lead to all sorts of adventures, like going back to prevent a disaster that was supposed to happen in Year 1 of the time warp.
The local hero in Time Warp Year 1 fanfiction can also be very popular. This character is usually from the time period itself and has unique skills or abilities that help them deal with the changes brought about by the time warp. They might be a brave warrior or a wise healer, for example. They often interact with the time traveler in interesting ways.
In some time - travel based superhero fanfiction, characters like Flash might be popular. His super - speed allows him to move through time in some versions, and so writers can explore different timelines and how his actions in the past or future affect the overall story.
Time travel paradoxes are also common. For instance, the grandfather paradox where a character goes back in time and accidentally causes something that would prevent their own existence. Writers in Time Warp fanfiction often have to find creative ways to resolve these paradoxes, which makes for engaging reading.
A common theme is the exploration of different time periods. It could be the past, like Sonic going back to the time of the ancient civilizations in Mobius. Another theme is the alteration of the timeline and the consequences that come with it. For example, if Sonic accidentally changes something in the past, how it affects the present and future. Also, the idea of time - based powers or artifacts is often seen, like time - stopping devices or time - traveling emeralds.
The characters' relationships can change in many ways. For example, if a character is sent back to a time when they were enemies with another character, their current friendship could be tested. They might start to remember old grudges and act differently towards each other.
Friendship is a very common theme. Just like in the original, characters in the fanfiction often rely on their friends to get through difficult situations. Another common theme is exploration, as the land before time is full of uncharted areas waiting to be discovered.
Fred is also very popular. His boldness and eagerness to jump into new situations drive many of the stories forward. Fans enjoy writing about his attempts to solve the problems that come up during their time - travels, like when they end up in the middle of a medieval battle.
