Pretty Cure is a franchise that lends itself well to fanseasons, particularly after 2008, creating a tight-knit community within an already small-town-like fandom. Much like the rest of the English fandom, the OC fic writers congregate at LiveJournal.
These works include:[]
- By cure_shabon: Pretty Cure Perfume Preppy, the most famous, in which a team of five with powers from certain scents fights an evil organization; Bokura wa Gaia Pretty Cure, featuring a Boarding School setting and Animal Motifs; Chanbara Pretty Cure, a Samurai Sentai Shinkenger-inspired entry with a season motif; and Futari wa Pretty Cure Overdrive, with a car/racing theme;
- By flamingruby: Futari wa Pretty Cure Flash Fire with a fire-and-ice duo;
- By cyanfox27: Shining Pretty Cure, where a group of four gem-themed girls (and an eventual Fifth Ranger, very, very strongly hinted to be their Ill Girl friend) compete with other jewel-themed people for a Dismantled MacGuffin, Pretty Cure ~ Mirai Spark!, featuring another Boarding School and a theme of Japanese mythology, Pretty Cure Lucky Shuffle, featuring a tarot card thematic, Pretty Cure Heart Cross, featuring a chess thematic, Prism Panic Pretty Cure, an Affectionate Parody with a color thematic, Denji Pretty Cure, a Denji Sentai Megaranger-inspired entry with a digital technology theme, and Sweet Reverie Pretty Cure, with a dream thematic;

This doesn't stop there, however. The community has also focused on creating...

- Crossovers with other media featuring Pretty Cure characters;
- Regular features on the Fan Works community at Live Journal;
- Cure fics loosely based on other works (a full list is here);
- Various fanseries-related fanfics;
- Info on Live Action Adaptations of the fics themselves;
- Archives of mostly fictional biographies for dream VA's for the fanworks;
- A parody of numerous Curefics in the style of two of the six writers of Scary Movie;
And many, many, many other fan-series...a comprehensive list is found here. A character sheet can be found here. There's also a separate character sheet for OCs.
