Plot Bunnies That SHOULD NOT BE!
 
#5
Does it make the story worse? If so, yes.
So, that would be a 'No.' then... the sparkling is apparently because they are covered in a diamond derivative and are all invincible as they are all hard and invincible... Aang fights people from Fire Nation making it a better fic... as in horrible, to us and the fangirls for completely different reasons, for us because of the premise... for them because of the whole flammable at high temperatures thing.  Even if in theory they can't damage Sparkles Aang... his venom bodily fluids will boil, while he flails in a discoball like maner... he can't even use the Avatar state as he is already dead.  Meaning its a one shot temporary boost, at best, and then gone forever.  This will be played for Aangst.

For a new horrible plot bunny... Naruto, as the result of screwing up an attempt at his unknown dad's army removing jutsu of crazy extreme speed, manages to switch place with one of his dimensional equivalents... which shows up in a two paragraph scene, complete with freaking out ero-senin.... and is totally forgotten three letters later.  The world Naruto ends up in is a fangirl's dream storm of cliches.  First, there are no ninja... instead its a modern world high school drama in which Naruto and his 'friends' abruptly decide they are forming a band.  Worse for Naruto, he ends up dragged into it... he has to get them to win the 'Battle of the Bands' which is comprised of 31 other bands of actual compitant people... and the utterly useless "sympathetic" leads which are flanderized versions of the rookie 9 and Team Gai... random Jonin are the teachers and Orochimaru is the principle... the vice priciple is his fawning lacky, Dolores Umbridge.
To makes things worse it turns out to be a time loop... which can only be exited by winning the BotB with Naruto's preset cluster of useless 'friends'.  The keyboardist, Sasuke, who spends more time primping and writing inexplicable 'poety', than practing, it often takes hours to get him to risk his nails by actually touching the keys (it takes 46 resets to figure out how to convince him to use his toes instead).  Cherry, the drummer... who seems more intrested in setting Naruto up with the keyboardist than practing... though she does actually learns fast and is the most useful and competent of his band members... even though there creepily effeminate, bassist of the mussel shirted, paleness has nicknamed her 'useless'.
The 'band' is easily distracted and prone to wacky hijinks... assuming Naruto can corral them to not getting injured beyond their ability to play, distracted to the point of forgetting about the band thing entirely, Kidnapped by idiots from other schools, planets, or oddly displaced political radicals from decades dead movements... the real fun comes from getting the band into and through the contest.  Naruto ends up using a a combination of shadow clones and a harvest of fangirls (oddly only the bassist and keyboardist actually have them, Naruto gets one who is a shy, rich girl, who probably wished him into this mess in the first place trying to make the guy she was stalking not worthless).  He has to use that proformance to get enough real fans to fill the block of a hundred paying fans to gain entrance into the BoTB.
If each song being a luck based, escort mission for the tune wasn't bad enough there are the other bands to contend with.Some example include:  Notable Doom, a three member band band with an idol singer lead... who's competition keeps suffering biazarree, spontanious deaths on stage (Naruto ends up immune as his last name is not actually Swirly as everyone keeps insisting).  Team Panic, who is the other main reason, easily distracted bandmates aside, Naruto can't openly do ninja things... every time the lead singer see them reality ends up with him LARPing full contant Ninja Gaiden for the rest of the month.  A band who started off doing silly songs in silly outfits with cool special effects that are inexplicablely missing after 6 or 7 loops... it gets so bad they only play a total a 15 notes from the begining and end of their songs while getting full cheers from the crowd... while in their school uniforms.
After 666, fully written out, repeats Naruto manages actually win the band with his 'friends'... the next day his 'band' totally forgets the band thing entirely... as well as all character devolopement and get just as hellbent on winning the Science Fair by building a fully functional, Giant robot even though they are in different science classes and have no skills in engeneering or metal working whatso ever... thats right.  Naruto is stuck in a badly written sitcom... combined with a time loop.
