These. If it's clever, I'll like it, but I ignore the vast majority of "original" versions of characters. For example, I loved the historical dress versions of Disney princesses because they were recognizable designs that simultaneously stayed true to both historical fashions and the color schemes and personalities of the characters. There have also been some clever crossovers.

Generally speaking, if your idea has anything to do with steampunk, punk/rocker, slave Leia/Star Wars-ified, sailor-ified, bikini/swimsuit/lingerie, or hurp durp WoW-ripoff warrior versions, you should probably not bother. Those have all been done to death and most long-term congoers are tired of them. Best case scenario you'll be ignored by everyone but newbie congoers and hardcore obsessive fans, so might be best to invest your time and energy into something canon or at least more unique.
