I don't know. Maybe a deconstruction where a seemingly typical SI runs arounds making a fool of themselves fawning after the pretty girls (or boys), trying to help, or just doing their best to live it up.

Alternately if the SI is attempting a fix fic, and failing, then it could be rather depressing seeing them fight to make any sort of change, only to see nothing come of their efforts.
