Making Fiends is an animated web series originally created by Amy Winfrey, which had its main run from July 14, 2003 to October 15, 2005, with several special episodes being occasionally aired afterwards up to April 1, 2015. In 2007, it was picked up for production of a televised adaptation, which aired on Nicktoons Network from October 4, 2008 to November 1, 2008. Despite the TV series' status as a Short-Runner, little to nothing was talked about why that happened.The show revolves around the life of Charlotte, a sweet, innocent little girl who is the new girl in the town of Clamburg (she used to live in Vermont, according to the first webisode). Charlotte is also incredibly naïve, and is unable to think badly of anyone around her. Charlotte quickly makes "friends" (or so she thinks) with Vendetta, a horrid little girl who makes monsters, or fiends, through baking. Vendetta cannot stand Charlotte's happy go lucky nature, and will often go to great lengths to destroy Charlotte (or at least get her out of the way for a little bit). These attempts inevitably backfire, usually resulting in Vendetta doing great damage to herself. When they do succeed, Charlotte can only see the bright side of her situation and will become more annoying than usual, usually turning the episode's featured fiend into a friend. Everything is back to normal by the end of the episode.Vendetta, due to her fiend-making abilities, appears to have the entire town at her control. As such, Clamburg is a bleak, dark and forbidding place.The show seems to be cancelled at this point, as it has been more than 10 years since a new episode was aired, and even reruns of the show have stopped airing, aside from short marathons on the Halloweens of 2014, 2015, and 2016. Winfrey has stated that there are 7 more episode scripts on the FAQ of her website for the show (which hasn't been updated since 2009), but it looks like Nick has no plans to make them. | |

Villain Song | |
| Making Fiends / int_1ccad9a3 | comment |
Villain Song: Vendetta has had two. In "New Best Friend", "Me And My Best Friend Marion", which is a song based on pretending to be friends with Marion so Charlotte won't play with Vendetta. In the shorts episodes, "If you lived upon the moon...", which is a alternate version of Charlotte's song "If I lived upon the moon", in which she points out the downsides of living on the moon. | |

Adaptation Expansion: The TV series expanded the scope of the series beyond the school and into the town, allowing for greater exploration on how Vendetta's rule works out for Clamburg. It also fleshes out Charlotte and Vendetta's home lives and provides deeper characterization for many of the side characters. | |

Parental Abandonment: Charlotte claims that her parents are on a space station (it is implied that they died); Vendetta keeps her parents in a hamster cage. It's also worth noting that in "Parents," Vendetta and Malachi were the only kids to show up to the parent teacher conference with a full set of parents. | |

| Making Fiends / int_6e6b8ca7 | comment |
Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: The clothing of the human characters is barely detailed other than that the girls and women wear dresses/muumuus, the boys wear shorts, and most of the men wear longer pants (sans Mr. Milk and Mr. Gumpit, whose attire resembles that of the females but is vaguely described). Also, for some reason, all the male characters have ears and most of the females don't, even if they're wearing earrings.note An example of a female who does have ears is Malachi's unnamed mother seen in "Parents". | |

Vanilla Edition: Nickelodeon was notorious for giving most of its shows the most bare-bones home video releases conceivable, but the Making Fiends TV series got considerably the WORST treatment yet, only featuring its episodes, which add up to around 2 hours of entertainment. It really contrasts the variety of bonus features that the DVDs for the web series have. | |

Copycat Mockery: In "Super Evil", Vendetta tries to look something "evil" about Charlotte when she finds out that Charlotte got a higher score than her in an Evil Magazine quiz. In one of the various antics she does to do so, Vendetta enters Charlotte's house from her bedroom, wears one of her hairbows and imitates her usual attitude in a mocking way. Charlotte shows up immediately afterwards, having heard what Vendetta said. | |

The Bulgarian episode. As in an episode spoken completely in Bulgarian. This received a lot of complaints for being impossible to follow — so Winfrey added subtitles that were intentionally mangled and grammatically incorrect. | |

| Making Fiends / int_a1575551 | comment |
Living Prop: Charlotte and Vendetta's classmates include Marvin, Marion, Maggie, Malachi, and three other kids whom they don't interact with. The first one is Mort, a dark blue boy with glasses, who is seen very often but doesn't do anything. The second is an unnamed pink girl with clips in her hair who's often seen screaming and waving her arms, and the last one is a blue boy with a baseball cap. "New Best Friend" features several more students (presumably from other classrooms) watching Vendetta and Marion's performance. | |

Too Dumb to Live: Charlotte when it comes to Vendetta. Even the others admit it: Subverted for the most part in that Charlotte always seems aware of certain death and avoids it. Her clones in "Puppies! Puppies! Puppies!", on the other hand, play this straight by riding a slide right into the gaping maw of a huge fiend. It takes the very last clone (after HUNDREDS) to realize what's going on, only to have the fiend's jaw snap shut on her. | |

Lighter and Softer: To a slight degree. In the first few episodes of the web series, there were posters in the back of the classroom that weren't very kid-friendly, such as a cat being hanged, and a poster that read "A is for Alimony". When Nickelodeon licensed Making Fiends, these were removed in the TV series, where they also changed lines like "hellcat" to "fiend cat" and "your eyeballs will fall out!" to "your eyebrows will fall out!". | |

Piano Drop: In "Marvin the Middle Manager", Marvin and Charlotte set up a Rube Goldberg Hates Your Guts device that would drop a piano on Charlotte while she pretends to be a butterfly, as part of Marvin's task to kill her given to him by Vendetta. Even though the plan initially goes well, it ends up failing when Vendetta shows up to the scene, much to her dismay. Of course, she doesn't blame herself for it, as she has a batch of fiends take Marvin away. | |

April Fools' Day: The Bulgarian episode. As in an episode spoken completely in Bulgarian. This received a lot of complaints for being impossible to follow — so Winfrey added subtitles that were intentionally mangled and grammatically incorrect. The April Fools' version of the sixth webisode replaces all the spoken dialogue with a text-to-speech computer voice. On April 1, 2012, another episode titled "Making Friends" was uploaded to YouTube, which reverses the roles of Charlotte and Vendetta. On April Fools 2015, Amy Winfrey uploaded "Baking Beans," where, you guessed it, everyone's a bean. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
| Making Fiends / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die": Vendetta almost always says "destroy" instead of "kill". Being that she likes to be vague with her statements and has slightly broken English, she may be invoking this, though this trope was subverted in "A Fiendish Friend", where she says "dead" multiple times. As the theme song states: "Then there came another girl who wanted to be friends, Vendetta can not stand her, so she plots her end!" | |
