one of my favorite phenomena i see often is "dpxdc" fanfiction but its literally just a dc fanfiction where the author has an oc named danny. they can look entirely different, they can be a different gender, they can have zero relations to the dp universe or ghosts or any of his whole shebang, have a different last name and a different origin timeline, doesnt even have to be the main character, anything, but as long as the op is like "no dude trust me its technically danny fenton" its like. considered a dpxdc fic. im not saying this is a bad thing im saying its fucking hilarious

#its like. a free way to get danny phantom fans to read your dc fanfic (and dc fans not to read it)#i once read a dead on main fic (admittedly very short) where other than the character tags the ONLY indication that jasons sleeping lover #was danny was that they had black hair. that could have been ANYONE. it wasnt even ABOUT him. this was someones 'red hood experiences #emotional growth' fic that they put in dp tags because... idk i guess they were just used to writing dpxdc and made it with that viewpoint #first?#idk its fun. it really emphasizes to me how dpxdc is its OWN fandom (as in people start from it as a separate source fanbase) and not #like... a regular just. crossover categorization #anyway i expect 80% of my followers to not know what these words mean and thats fine by me
