Fanfiction for Anime/Manga http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/other-genres/threads/10275 ZoraSkywalker Okay, so I got the go ahead from Dragonchilde to try and separate the fanfiction thread a little bit to make it easier for everyone to find their posts. :D So feel free to go ahead and discuss your anime/manga related fics here!!! If you're writing a crossover that involves an anime/manga and another type of fandom (i.e. books, movies, etc.), feel free to post about it here as well (or in the other thread it goes with) :) I just thought that this might separate it just enough that it's easier to keep conversations going and for finding the fanfics that interest you.

A special place for us! I'm doing a Katekyo Hitman Reborn fanfic again this year. I just love it sooooo much. It's based more on the anime than the manga, simply because I own the entire series and am watching it right now for... INSPIRATION!!! (and to get the characters in my head) It's set a few years after the end of the anime, and is focused around a couple of new types of rings. (NOT new flames, just new rings) It will be Xanxus/(F)OC, because Xanxus is a sexy beast, and I'll probably slash a bunch of the guys together because I'm a huge pervert.... Hibari/Yamamoto anyone?

It's YukixTohru (My personal favorite pairing) and also a turnaround for Akito as far as her personality. Akito is annoyed with how much the rest of his Zodiac seem so enamoured with Tohru and how they all seem to love her so much (this is beacuse she's normal and accepts them anyway even though they're strange and dysfunctional *giggle*) and is detirmined not to have them love her more than him. Knowing he can't save them all, however, he decides to at least gain one of them back for himself. One night, he goes to Shigure's house and demands that Yuki returns to the main house with him. Tohru seeing his fear and knowing that going with Akito would utterly ruin Yuki, volunteers to go instead. The other Sohma are incapable of stopping it from happening when Akito accepts. The following day Tohru is locked in away in the dark room at the main house and subjected to Akito's whim, her only hope of ever leaving being if Akito decides to release her. Meanwhile, it becomese Yuki's mission to get her away from Akito in any way he can, no matter what it takes. (Fluff ensues of course.) Angsty, fluffy, and a little violent.

In it, Bakura is a struggling writer who churns out cheap prose everyday in Ryou's bakery and coffee-shop. But when Bakura begins his work on his magnum opus, a dark tale of a cursed thief in ancient Egypt, he begins to have surreal dreams involving the young man.

Guess I just like time-skips. Oh, and I sort of count my previous year's NaNo as fanfic, too. "What if Hamlet was a yuri boarding-school drama?" It was somewhere between MariMite and Utena, and great fun to write. Plus when everyone died at the end, it was Shakespeare's fault, not mine. Guilt free, baby!

The main villain Digimon is an OC as he was in the first part of this Fan Fiction and I have a couple other OC's in it as well that some appeared in the first part while others will now just be showing up though they where mentioned in the first part.. Basically it's about Takeru believing the evil Digimon that was attacking him was completely defeated in the first part. He goes back to his (almost) normal life only to find out not only has the evil Digimon resurfaced in a new form, but this time he is a lot more dangerous and unlike last time he won't hesitate to use any of Takeru's friends in order to get what he wants which is to kill Takeru and erase Patamon forever. The main trouble I am having with the second part is figuring out where the evil Digimon came from...

It's better to have three or four smaller threads, because you can (and will) spend a lot of time sifting through comments to find someone who's writing fan fiction for your favorite fandoms. At the very last minute, I've decided to write a Sailor Moon fan fiction. The details are kind of sketchy right now, as I've only started outlining this week. (Okay, I started outlining about an hour ago. I'm taking a short break.) Basically, though, Mamoru learns his parents survived the car crash that supposedly made him an orphan, and his parents are still alive and well; his dad is a yakuza boss and his mother is the daughter of a higher-up yakuza boss. (It's possible her father is the oyabun, or *the* head boss, and perhaps her husband is expected to take his place. Again, I'm working on the details.) I'm still learning as much as I can about the yakuza, but I'm certain that sons are expected to follow in their fathers' footsteps, whereas the only woman who has any kind of status in the yakuza is the oyabun's wife. But when the car crash occurred, Mamoru's parents saw it as a way they could give him a life he deserved. A life that gave him choices, even if it meant being an orphan, rather than a life where he had to keep many secrets and be looked down upon by society. Granted, in real life, that probably would not happen. Members of the yakuza are very devoted to their clans, although I *have* read a couple of accounts where the men asked to leave the yakuza because of the shame it brought their families. But this story is supposed to be about what parents will do to give their children the best lives as possible, and quote/unquote abandoning Mamoru was the hardest thing his parents ever did.

He doesn't intend to get so involved himself, but things never turn out the way you expect. (Also, there is a reason I don't tend to write het and it shows up in this story... but it's in my head so I'll have to go with it.)

I don't know what's gotten into me to do this, but hey, I like a challenge.

Surname Seconding dusk_nightshade here; I'd read that. I'm also writing Sailor Moon fanfic this year; originally I was planning to write original fiction, but the idea sank fangs into my brain and wouldn't leave. So here I am. I've mentioned this a few times in other threads, but to give a more reasonable summary, it's a third-season AU based partially on the idea (brought up and abandoned a few times in the anime) of dimensional travel, not to mention the third season's persistent technobabble. The majority of the novel takes place in an alternate dimension, mostly parallel to the canonical timeline, in which the Sailor Senshi are fictional characters and magical girl teams are far more common--apparently a law of Conservation of Fuku applies. Among these magical girl teams is the Witches 5. I imagine Sailor Moon veterans can see where this is going from here. Kaolinite's head explodes; hilarity and violence ensue; sabotage runs rampant; lessons about friendship and teamwork are ignored; Magical Girl cliches are parodied poorly; CEOs team up with evil gods to drain the universe of creativity; Sailor V is incarnated in the body of a very surprised cosplayer; magical girlhood is isolated and sold in disposable syringes; Inventor's Block is suffered from, indirectly causing bystanders to suffer; and time travel is shown to be a very bad idea. All of this proves, I suspect, that Sailor Moon--in defiance of my efforts to write a serious, dark AU in which the Death Busters make some hard choices--naturally tends toward the extremely silly. (Or perhaps that's just me. I'm not sure which possibility I'd prefer.)

It's a Fate/Stay Night fanfic centering on the petite swordswoman, Arturia Pendragon, more popularly known as Saber. The concept behind both stories I've referenced comes into play here: the "Revelation of all 3 Scenarios through dreams" in From Fake Dreams, and the "Summoning of a different Saber" in Four Swords. Simply put, Saber is once more summoned into the 5th Holy Grail War, but other timelines have already finished their events of the war, returning the Heroic Spirit's soul to the Throne of Heroes with her memories, but due to a slight slip in the cosmos or an unknown factor somehow causing a glitch in the timelines to converge for just a moment (a moment that can go on forever when it's outside the Axis of Time), a fourth scenario opened up and Saber had been gifted with the memories of her counterparts from the first 3 scenarios. She'll have the memories of Saber from the Fate scenario, feeling the unmistakable love she has of Shirou. She'll have the memories of Saber from the Unlimited Blade Works scenario, reeling in disgust and humiliation at what Caster had done to her during her captivity. She'll have the memories of Alter Saber from the Heaven's Feel scenario, feeling remorse and self-hatred at the injustice the darkness had made her do. I already have a fitting title for this. "Servant SABER: Fate, Blade, and Heaven." And while I know that Fate/Stay Night should be considered in the video game section, I believe it's more fitting that it's included here. I was exposed to FSN from the anime first before the visual novel, then the movie (which was a rushed summation of the UBW scenario, imo). I'd be lying if I said the Fate/Zero anime had no involvement for my willingness to write this fanfiction story.

I'm still debating, though! I've wanted to write this forever and my original ideas are all pretty vague. My first four NaNoWriMo experiences I did original fanfiction, but I've always considered writing this instead. Do you guys find it embarrassing to admit that you're writing fanfiction for NaNo? I have nothing against fanfiction, it's what got me seriously into writing in the first place, but I do feel like saying I'm writing a Pokémon fanfic kind of delegitimizes me as a writer. Even though this fanfic happens to be very serious and actually pretty messed-up. Ahhh, I have less than nine hours to decide! Time to whip out the old sketchbook and start mapping out my various ideas and seeing what I think. I'm leaning towards this fanfic, though, just because I already love it and I've wanted to get it out for so long.

I've read fanfics out there there are better than some of the "real" books I own. I think in some ways it's actually more intimidating/difficult to work in someone else's universe, and portray their characters accurately. I usually write semi-AUs, so I have a mix of canon and original characters. That way, I can write my main character from scratch. (I know some people hate reading these stories, and I say to you... :P...) In the end, fanfiction is still writing.

It also gives me time to add things to the world that I am creating while at the same time gives me the ability to practice and hone my writing skills because before I started writing FanFiction I did a LOT of stupid things when it came to writing. Not to mention the errors within it spelling and otherwise. Like kat716 said it is more intimidating/difficult to write in someone's else's universe because in your own work you don't have to worry about angry fan girls or fan boys attacking you throw comments and other ways. In other ways it also makes it easier because you only have to mainly focus on telling the story you don't really have to worry about making your own characters if you don't want to and the world is already there for you all you have to do is change it slightly to fix your story. Of course there is always the fact that you can change the world upside down and start fresh but hey at least you can pick up some of the pieces of the floor and use them xD Mon, 31 Oct 2011 19:17:09 -0500 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/other-genres/threads/10275?page=1#forum_thread_comment_336132 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/other-genres/threads/10275?page=1#forum_thread_comment_336132 PacificPikachu Thanks, both of you! I have no problem writing fanfiction, or telling people I write fanfiction, but for some reason when it comes to NaNo I get a bit shyer about it. I'm not sure why! I guess I just don't want to be seen as immature or silly, but ultimately it doesn't matter. That said, I've written original pieces four years in a row, and I think it owe it to myself to finally write this story I've been dying to write for so many years. Might as well write something I adore, right? I know I'll have a great time working on it and be proud to have finished it. I agree that fanfiction can be better than many published books, and that it can be more challenging in some ways. I've read some truly incredible fanfiction in my days!

I love writing fanfiction because it's flexible and you can get good feedback about your style, as well. Since the fandom shares the same characters, people know if you aren't doing well because the characterization will be all wonky. I hadn't written for years and this year I decided I would. I picked up fandom and started to write. It's been great and has really gotten me back in the mood and the discipline (since I try to write at least once a week now). It is getting me geared up to write my own stuff and knowing that my style isn't terrible. I have improved a great deal as a writer because of fanfiction.

If you think about it, there are lots of published fanfics. Pride and Prejudice with Zombies. The rewrite of the Wizard of Oz that eventually led to the musical Wicked. Too many parodies to count. Besides, if people thought I was delegitimised in some way for producing (for example) masterpieces like Digital Skitty's Pedestal, CorianderWryters' Revelations: A Cynic's View of Pokemon and even Pokemon Revolution I would just be like screw you I'm onto something winning here, and I can easily apply this to original fiction.

I hope I'll come up with a better title soon. Anyway, Kotetsu is a retired detective working as a private investigator, and he get's a job, to find a woman. Bunny is..

If I were to compare the two, I'd say the anime didn't give the visual novel justice when adapting the storyline (mixing tidbits from the Unlimited Blade Works scenario, too, which just added background info that could be ignored). There were many points missed and explanations that were rushed due to time restraints. It's a common problem for many anime adaptations. Not to mention the plot twists in each scenario. Saber's true identity in Fate. Archer's true identity in Unlimited Blade Works. Sakura's true identity (and origins, which has already been alluded to in the Fate/Zero anime's 1st episode) in Heaven's Feel. They spice up the FSN story every time. Now armed with all three events from the 3 scenarios, Saber is not about to let things go as they are.

Basically it's a fic inspired by the fact that Kubo, the creator, is constantly using musical terms in his titles, and seems to have a very big interest in fashion. Basically the idea of the world is that instead of shinigami, you have rockstars. Or pop strs or enka stars or whatever. No one's immortal, but there are still good and bad ghosts. Instead of fighting them with swords, they fight the ghosts by singing at them. That's part of why they become famous--by doing concerts with lots of people, that attracts lots of ghosts both good and bad (to the energy and the Voices) that they can then banish. I have all sorts of plot details worked out--I'm hoping to mainly following the general gist of the plotline of the manga, but we'll see how that goes. I also have plans for all sorts of interesting Battles of the Bands, a Devil-Went-Down-to-Karakura style showdown between Ishida (*violin*, not fiddle, thank you) and Ichigo (on the electric guitar, yes), a planned take-over of the hearts, minds and souls of the world by DJ Godhead and many other shenanigans. ...I hope, anyway...

I know from the posts above that I will be looking forward to reading a lot of your completed work, come December. :) As for myself, I'm writing an Ouran High School Host Club fanfic this year. I wrote and won with original fiction last year and planned to do the same again, but after being bludgeoned with midterms these past few weeks I had neither the time nor the energy to plan one. :D My story follows up on the conclusion of the Ouran anime but takes it with a darker twist. It focuses primarily on the Hitachiin twins in exploring their ambiguous relationship, their isolation, and their reliance on the rest of the Host Club - especially when these relationships start to fall apart. My inspiration came from Kaoru's narratives near the end of the series - when he's struggling to let Hikaru go and eventually realize his feelings for Haruhi - and let's just say that, when actually confronted with this situation, poor Kaoru doesn't handle it too well. Though I love Ouran for being as over-the-top as it is, I've always wanted to seriously delve into the characters' issues, in particular with the twins, especially when they're placed on the cusp of an adult world that isn't nearly as open and accepting of their way of life. (And by that I meant to say that, yes, there may be be incest. I'm not forcing anybody to read it.)

I'm doing a separate fanfic for nano, but when I finish it I'm also switching over to my naruto one, which has been floating around my head for far too long. ^_^ Sun, 13 Nov 2011 22:53:52 -0600 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/other-genres/threads/10275?page=2#forum_thread_comment_686505 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/other-genres/threads/10275?page=2#forum_thread_comment_686505 kitkatt I'm so glad I'm not the only one doing an anime/manga fanfic! Mine is Yoroiden Samurai Troopers (aka Ronin Warriors, though I hope people in this thread would know that) fic... I don't want to explain my plot because it's honestly very convoluted and confusing but it involves... *counts* 3 love triangles. So it just makes stuff tons of fun. What's awesome is that when explaining a lot of my plot to my roommate (who is also doing NaNo), I have to compare it to Sailor Moon so she can grasp the concept.

It's definitely a lot more fun than fish... I usually do semi-AU's as well. Mostly for the sake of balance: for me, writing a fanfiction with nothing but original characters isn't much of a fanfiction, and writing a fanfiction with nothing but existing characters makes me scared of twisting their personalities too much. I actually did a 50,000 word Naruto fanfiction over the summer, but I might rewrite that because now that I think about it, it stuck too close to the actual plot to be worth reading...

XD So, this is the first year I have ever started with original fantasy and not changed to fanfic a few thousand words in, but now as I'm struggling for inspiration, I just really want to work on the Royai 100*. XD Have any of you attempted the Royai 100 around here? Or something similar for another pairing/fandom? I started it for one of the CampNaNos and still need to edit the ones I wrote and write a bunch more. *The Royai 100 is one hundred short stories or drabbles about Colonel Roy Mustang and Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist, if anyone hasn't heard of it before. There's 100 prompts on (I think) Livejournal. I have no idea who started it.

Is it specifically for Roy and Riza? If not, I might be interested in doing it once my time frees up. If I can think of characters to write about, that is... characters are usually the hardest part for me.

I've thought about taking the prompts and doing a second set for a couple of my favorite Final Fantasy characters, though. I've never seen any hard and fast rules for it, so I'd imagine if you posted something along the lines of "Prompts being borrowed from the Royai 100" in a disclaimer or author's note few -- if any -- would quibble over it. You would just be using the prompts for inspiration and, while some of the prompts have more significance with Roy and Riza, I don't remember any of them being almost exclusively for FMA -- like there weren't any that were like "Fullmetal" or "Homunculi." The challenge was started a good 3-4 years before I even knew what FMA was, going by the dates of stories on FFN, so if there were any rules, I haven't been able to find any. The prompts are still around though. If it's something that catches your interest, I say go for it! Even if you use different characters, it's still a challenge and probably more of a challenge for some of the prompts. Roy and Riza happen to be two of my favorite anime/manga characters, so writing about them works for me. :) Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:38:41 -0600 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/other-genres/threads/10275?page=2#forum_thread_comment_763042 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/other-genres/threads/10275?page=2#forum_thread_comment_763042 kat716 I always wondered where the "ai" came from. I've thought about trying it for fun, but I'd have to change it to yaoi. I'm such a Roy/Ed fangirl it's ridiculous. ;) Sat, 19 Nov 2011 12:19:12 -0600 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/other-genres/threads/10275?page=2#forum_thread_comment_767408 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/other-genres/threads/10275?page=2#forum_thread_comment_767408 CaseyAzalea Steampunk Saiyuki sounds like the most awesome idea ever!

Repton Well, having finished my Nano and been challenged to write a second one before the end of the month, I've decided to get started on an idea that's been building up inside me for a while now. It's going to be a long fic, and there's no way I will finish it within November, but my aim is to get at least the first 50K done. "Six Characters in Search of Suzumiya Haruhi" is an expansion of the first episode, "The Adventures of Asahina Mikuru". It starts out as a fairly vanilla magical girl story, and gradually develops into something much stranger that I can't really describe without spoilers. Let's just say that Asakura is involved, and has a lot to do with the getting stranger part.
