Fanfiction for Video Games

Writing about a legendary hero of old, destined to be decked out in green? Writing about chocobos and moogles and spikey-haired dudes? Or writing about a certain yellow guy taking a bite out of flashing blue ghosts? All of those and more go here! Feel free to use this thread to talk about all of your video game fic ideas for NaNo.

If you're writing a crossover fic, feel free to post in whatever fanfic thread you think it fits in best. :)

Best of luck on your fics!

I'm writing Knights of the Old Republic fanfiction. :)

Fallout 3 fanfic for me!

Dragon Age: Origins here. Doing an AU of most of the game and hoping it works!

A combo. I'm basing mine on some little comics I drew in class, which had some DBZ characters, Zelda, Metroids (the actual creatures, not the games), etc. along with some original doodles I made.

doing some epic suikoden fanfiction this year. ;D

Why yes, I AM writing about that legendary hero destined to be decked out in green. :D

I'm actually using the manga versions of OoT and MM as backstory, since it gives more backstory than the games did. But it's still a video game, so here I am.

I have so many Harvest Moon/Rune Factory ideas. I probably could easily write a 50k HM fic. Heck I already have a fic that's 58 K and only a third done; if I wanted to, I could just put my nose to the grindstone and continue on that (yeah yeah, I know that's against the rules, but...)

Well, technically I'm not writing about a legendary hero of old, destined to be decked out in green - I'm writing about the dude in spandex who taught him songs ;) (The Hero in green is definitely in it, though!)

My fic (the second one I'm doing this year - first up is an original story) is a sequel to one of my 2009 ones, which was Ocarina of Time from Sheik's perspective (as a seperate character to Zelda). It ended on a massive downer ending, so this year, I'm going to give the bugger a happy ending.

Been tempted to do a rewriting of Shadow of the Beast for a good long while, lots of opportunities to expand the plot (such as: what the hell actually happened to his sister after SotB2?).

I have a draft I did from preparing for last years NaNo. Tempted. We'll see. The only problem was it went on for ages.

Not ever going to be a NaNo (needs too much research and nit-picking), but my epic Final Fantasy Tactics Decology has been cooking for almost a decade. I've got almost a hundred important, named characters, and half the series is set after the events of the game, culminating with a huge battle that takes up twice as much space as the other nine books, not to mention I've got thousands of years of backstory and a sequel in the works.

Writing Final Fantasy VII fanfic this year. :)

I think I'm going with my idea for a Persona 4/Tales of the Abyss crossover fic and maybe working on an original story on the side. If nothing else, it should keep November interesting! Good luck everyone.

I'm not 100% sure I'm going to do nano this year, but if I do, I'm rebelling and continuing an old fic I started while writing for a previous nano. It's an AU Final Fantasy XII fic, of epic proportions, a re-imagining of the story under the premise that Rasler survived the battle at Nalbina, and it includes the two years between the prologue and the actual events of the game.

I've considered writing fic for that well loved legendary hero, decked out in green. Or at least, a rewrite of a fic of mine that is now stalled, wherein the hero is kidnapped, in the manner of Tam Lin, before he can save Hyrule. Zelda sends an NPC from OoT to save him. Yay for minor characters.

I've also considered writing Super Smash Brothers fanfic, that explores the origins of the Smash Mansion that runs rampant on Fanfiction.net (or did, last time I visited some time back in 2006). But my fanfic - both of the LoZ and SSB persuasion - is so AU that sometimes I don't even know why I bother anymore... xD

High-five, fellow Zelda fanficcers!

Final Fantasy XI here, with implied crossover.

Been doing research like whoa the past few days to nail down some plot issues. I wrote an FFXI fic for my 2009 NaNo and this is its spiritual successor in the same 'verse--10 years in the future of the game timeline, where the armies of the Middle Lands have been disbanded and conflict is handled entirely through the Conquest System and adventurers. Jeuno was abandoned after the death of Archduke Kam'lanaut 10 years ago, but has been reborn as a "free city" for adventurers by Kam'lanaut's son.

My MC is a male Mithra kept in a kind of harem by the Mithran High Matriarch. He manages to escape/run away and is caught up in a revenge plot revolving around Gunther Schultz ("III"). He teams up with a mage and a thief who's looking to take him back to the Matriarch for a fat reward. I'm hoping to have them tour some of the unplotted areas of Vana'diel such as the Mithran homeland, the Isle of Andouin, and the Orcish Empire in the far north.

Yay, a fanfiction thread. :D

The fandom is Legend of Zelda, and the idea has been cooking for five years. In the last draft I got to 33k (barely a sixth done, if that). This Zelda fannovel in particular also has a prequel I need to rewrite, but I can always edit CLC after ES is redone (seeing as I ran out of time what with NaNo sneaking up on me).

Eclipsing Shadows and Crescent Light Chronicles date back to when I first started writing, but since I only finished the prequel originally, I wanted to get as far done as possible with the rewrite. CLC itself includes quite a bit of headcanon - in that includes the fabled center of the Triforce, my understanding of Dark Link's race, extended history and small, minor tweaks, as well as numerous OCs that also hold importance to my central cast.

The setting at the start of the story is Post-Twilight Princess, by two years. But the setting changes throughout the story as well, as CLC-verse meshes bits of canon together and is supplemented with headcanon. ^^

I'm torn between fanfiction and original fiction at the moment, but if I do fanfiction, it'll probably a Final Fantasy VII fic I've been toying with for awhile. Basically, the main characters are the Turks and it'll be kinda a more serious action/adventure story, that may or may not involve zombies. XD Yup. Zombies. Or at least undead monsters created (possibly) by everyone's favorite evil government masquerading as an electric company. It'll probably mainly focus around Reno, Rude, Cissnei, and Tseng (with Zack Fair thrown into the mix) and Elena and the Before Crisis Turks might make cameos eventually.

Anyone ever play Phantasy Star Online? Somehow completely addicting despite being a little tedious (especially after the first time through)? I'm doing fanfic of it for my first NaNo. One of my favorite things about the game was how much of the backstory was left open to interpretation. They give you some little nuggets in the sidequests, but you're left to form your own opinion of what actually happened for the most part. So I'm taking my interpretation, adding a whole 'nother plotline only barely tangentially related to anything in the game to it, and seeing where that takes me. This tale has been brewing in my head for years, and hopefully I can relaunch it for NaNo and actually finish it for once.

If anybody writes a Metal Gear Solid fan fic, I'd like to read it!
