History Fanfic / WhateverHappenedToElfstar

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Debbie decides to cut ties with [[PoisonousFriend Gina]] after her bullying leads to Marcie's suicide.

* DrivenToSuicide: As in the original tract, Marcie hangs herself from a ceiling fan, though her motivation is changed -- instead of being upset that her ''D&D'' character died, she is far more distraught that her friends have alienated her and kicked her out of their group just for standing up to Gina's favoritism of Debbie.

* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: Brother Raymond is a typical example of TheFundamentalist who thinks that Tabletop games are evil occult tools, but Debbie notes he at least has a point about some things:

* DungeonmastersGirlfriend: Debbie is a platonic version to Gina. Whereas Gina rigs the game so Marcie's character Black Star will die (and is indicated to have done this to Marcie's other characters), Marcie points out that "this never happens to Debbie". Gina does this specifically to drive Marcie away from Debbie, whom she wants for herself.

''Whatever happened to Elfstar'' is a FixFic of the ComicBook/ChickTracts issue ''[[http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0046/0046_01.asp Dark Dungeons]]'', written to be less fundamentalist and more nuanced.

!!This fanfic contains examples of:

-->She’s listened to Brother Raymond preach on about the occult powers of rock music and Dungeons & Dragons. And he’s a crazy guy with a moustache ten years out of fashion, but some of what he says makes sense. He talks about power and, yeah, wasn’t that what she was always after? Wasn’t that why she let Marcie tag along after her those twelve long, precious years? Wasn’t that what she never had, growing up with her father always at the corner of her eye?
* DrivenToSuicide: As in the original tract, Marcie hangs herself from a ceiling fan, though her motivation is changed- instead of being upset that her D&D character died, she is far more distraught that her friends have alienated her and kicked her out of their group just for standing up to Gina's favoritism of Debbie.

* ShoutOut: The group calls Gina Frost "Ms. Frost" after the ''Franchise/XMen'' character, outright mentioning it by name.

* KillerGameMaster: As in the original tract, Gina Frost springs a trap on Black Leaf, Marcie's character, even though Black leaf would have seen it coming, then declares her dead without a saving throw, and ignoring a multitude of other problems that get in the way of the trap killing Black Leaf. The fic actually gives her a more realistic motive: she's only a Killer GM to that ''one'' player, because she's jealous and wants to drive her away.
* {{Munchkin}}: Mike calls Marcie one for trying to argue against Black Star's death... even though the GM, Gina, [[KillerGameMaster blatantly rigged the game so Black Star would die]].

* DungeonmastersGirlfriend: Debbie is a platonic version to Gina. Whereas Gina rigs the game so Marcie's character Black Star will die, Marcie points out that "this ''never happens'' to Debbie".
