the lazy bums at FFnet decided to expand the character selection menu on the Kim Possible section. couldn't they have done this earlier you know when the series was still running?  with that said will someone, anyone write a Different pairing story?! its mostly KIGO there that its starting to get on my nerves. and the ratio between GOOD FICS in general to the CRAP are 10 to 50 most of them Write for the sake of Pairings and Ships. instead of focusing on making a half decent Plot. have some variety people, kill some characters, write a horror, sci-fi or tragedy just to keep the Kim Possible section from going Dank and Stale. |

Some of the additions seem a bit obscure - has anyone ever written a Hirotaka story, or Dr. V.F. Porter? - but props to them for expanding the choices. To really make it work, everyone would have to re-tag their stories where relevant. So, probably not going to happen. with that said will someone, anyone write a Different pairing story?! its mostly KIGO there that its starting to get on my nerves. KiGo might be the second most most popular "ship", but there's plenty besides it. There's a lot of Drakken/Shego out there - Ninnik Nishukan and Charlotte C. are stars for that. wurdsmythe is good too. Filtering for Ron/Shego fills two pages, and so does Kim/Bonnie. Here's a good one-shot example of the first and here's another, longer one. This is a good example of the second. As for different pairings, don't think people haven't thought of them already. Just try Pigblossom for instance (if you're up for M-ratings.) Kim/Dr. Director? Ron/Monkey Fist? That's just to start with. Oh, mustn't forget A Benetton Affair By Sir Sebastian. Now there's a different pairing. and the ratio between GOOD FICS in general to the CRAP are 10 to 50 : "90% of everything is crud." Especially when the barrier for entry is low: it's easy to post something on FF.net. I managed it, for instance. most of them Write for the sake of Pairings and Ships, instead of focusing on making a half decent Plot. There's a few answers here. I won't quote them, this post is probably too long already. have some variety people, kill some characters, write a horror, sci-fi or tragedy just to keep the Kim Possible section from going Dank and Stale. I don't think it is stale. (It's certainly not dank.) Just by numbers, it looks like one of the most active categories, especially in the Cartoons section. It's not like horror, sci-fi or tragedy aren't being written already, but you don't need to go dark to be interesting, and you certainly don't need to start killing off main characters. If you're thinking of killing off Kim and exploring Ron's grief (or vice versa), then than that's far less original than it might sound. For example, MrDrP's Booyahahahahaha! sees Kim and Ron go bad and run amok, without ever sacrificing a manic comedy tone. Try this thread of recommendations. Also, Mr. Wizard's Nights in the Big City, because I praise it whenever I recommend fics. Charming username, by the way.  |

and the ratio between GOOD FICS in general to the CRAP are 10 to 50 Hey, the KP fandom is outstanding when it comes to quality. It never stops to surprise me how many mature, well-written and entertaining stories there are. I always find something good to read when I browse the section at FF.Net. Of course there are bad stories as well, but nowhere near as much as in some other fandoms. Before KP, my main focus in fanfiction was Jackie Chan Adventures. I went back to take a look at the section a while ago, and it was a shock to me to realise how much it sucked in contrast to KP. And massive yay for the updated character filter. I can finally tag my fics with Monkey Fist. I think it was a good idea to add some of the more obscure characters. Just looking at their names on the list makes me want to write a story focusing on them. |

Hey, the KP fandom is outstanding when it comes to quality. It never stops to surprise me how many mature, well-written and entertaining stories there are. I always find something good to read when I browse the section at FF.Net. Absolutely. Your recommendations gave me a few, or at least matched ones I've enjoyed. I think it was a good idea to add some of the more obscure characters. Just looking at their names on the list makes me want to write a story focusing on them. A while ago I set the filter to Shego/Monique just to see if it found anything. It doesn't, and I feel that ought to be fixed. But I can't think of a plot to do it. Hmm...Kim/Will Du! Anne P./Shego! (Read it.) Nana Possible/Senor Senior Senior! (Could actually be quite good. Maybe they've met before.) Kim/Zita! Ron/The Middleton Cheer Squad! (What? It's one of the options.) |

It would work better if Nana Possible wasn't at least ten years years older than SSS (at least I think she is), but after all men go with older women more often than one would think  And it wouldn't surprise they met, considering that he was into extreme sports when he was young and that she probably was into not-so-conventional stuff either XD |

Anne P./Shego! (Read it.) Read it too (It was AWESOME!!! XD) For some reason, now I REALLY want to see this one. ;D ...and that's how Kim Possible found out the truth about her grandfather... ;D Doesn't that make Junior Kim's uncle? Ugh... now it sounds even wierder that Junior thought they were soulmates ^^U |

Besides ASIT, they've never even met. Actually, maybe during "Stop Team Go", or perhaps while Shego snoops around Kim's life...not seeing it yet. Read it too (It was AWESOME!!! XD) Was it the same one? Crocodile Tears by Trackula? For some reason, now I REALLY want to see this one. ;D Just imagine Ron's reaction. ;D Doesn't that make Junior Kim's uncle? Ugh... now it sounds even wierder that Junior thought they were soulmates ^^U Oh, crap XD Hey, wait: wouldn't that make Bonnie Kim's aunt somewhat? ;D Awesome. Drama!I can see Senior talking to Kim: "The first time we met, you reminded me of her so much. It was as if she had returned, unaffected by time..." |

That's what it is.  Avairius: Now they've expanded the character options, how about a little AviaRon?  Ron: Dude, I'd rather do Ron/Amy. And you're not even on the list. |

Poor Aviarus. He looks so lonely and rejected. He needs love, too. ;D
And by the way, do you consider the character filter to be a pairing filter or just a character filter? I think a lot of people use it to mark the pairing, but I've always thought that it's meant for showing who the two main characters are. If there's romance, the main characters and pairing usually fall together, but if someone writes an epic adventure of Kim and Dementor having to work together and uses those characters for the filter, how many people will be disappointed that they aren't getting their Kimentor?

Do Kimentor stories really exist? Could they?
I'd say it's a character filter, not just a pairing filter. As one story (and you) put it, tagging a story Kim/Bonnie (for instance) doesn't necessarily mean you're 'shipping them, just focusing on them.
On the other hand, Kim and Ron, and Drakken and Shego, will probably appear together. So I'd think tagging a story Kim/Ron (or Drakken/Shego) makes it likely to be K/R (or D/S).

I've always used it as a character filter, not just pairings.

Aw, man - I would kill to see Kim's expression upon hearing that ;D
As for the characters filter, I usually use it just to look for fics starring character I'm interested in, regardless for the pairing.
I'm sure there's plenty of people that would rather use it to mark the pairing though.
