Adventure Time with Fiona and Cake


There has been an odd bit of reverse gender fiction that has quickly gone viral.

The series is the Cartoon Networks’ Adventure Time with Finn and Jake, which recounts the story of Finn the last human, and his talking moldable dog companion Jake in the bizarre post-apocalyptic land of Ooo where lumpy people live in the clouds and there is a kingdom made up of intelligent candy and cakes.

In a recent episode it started like the program always starts only it was titled Adventure Time with Fiona and Cake, with all the regular characters having their gender swapped (and with the dog as a cat as well) it was cute and had a funny punch line (ending) and when it was over the second of the two 11 minute stories that make up each program was back to normal.

However within days, if not hours, after it first played fan renditions of and stories detailing the further adventures of Fiona and Cake started to show up.

I just thought that was interesting that this went off so quickly and to such an extent as it did. Just do a Google and see what I mean, it's easy to find.

Says something about… ah… something I’m sure.

Can’t say just what though.
