The results were striking. AO3 members overwhelmingly preferred familiarity in their fan fiction, i.e., more of the same. One notable exception was a short story that was both hugely popular and highly novel. Simply titled "I Am Groot," the story featured the character from Guardians of the Galaxy. The text is just "I am Groot" repeated 40,000 times—a stroke of genius in that this is entirely consistent with the canonical MCU character, whose entire dialogue consists of those words, with meaning conveyed by shifts of tone and context. But such exceptions proved to be very rare.

Weird. Saw "ZIM" on a storage crate earlier, thought of someone I knew who was into "Invader Zim". Then I see this thread, search the groot thing, and it looks similar.
