Animé Fanfiction

[hunter]

Here's one that might spark a little bit of interest. Maybe.

There's a whole hoard of fanfiction about animé out there, from the good to the abysmal. If you're interested in getting started, check the Anime Web Turnpike's links or go to http://www.fanfic.net/

For those already in the know, what's some of the best and worst of what you've seen? Personally, I recommend the truly fantastic Children of an Elder God by John Biles and Rod Malapitan. It's an Eva/Call of Cthulu crossover located at http://www.thekeep.org/~rpm/eva/

The story and characterisation are very good, and it works nicely in contrast to the original Eva story - for those who know it.

Go out there, have a look, and tell me what you find!

I'm thinking I should write a Crest of the Stars / Call of Cthulhu crossover.

[Daydreaming]

Jinto: Oh! Umm....well....I don't understand.

Abriel: You idiot. We're witnessing an opening into non-Euclidean space. Get down.

Jinto: Huh! I don't see...

(Abriel drops to the ground and drags Jinto with her saving him from certain tentacle related death.)

Jinto: Oh! Unlike the evil, wicked United Mankind the Empire of the Abh tries to protect its people. Glory be to the Empire!

Abriel: Never mind that. There's something inside my tightfitting jumpsuit. Aargh! Where did all these naughty tentacles come from?

[/Day dreaming]

Hmmm...maybe not.

I did some that was about Card Captors...but the characters were actually of a reasonable age.

any fanfics you recommend?

[Rezo]

Thomas, I'll be checking out Children of an Elder God later when I have time

Dee, very vivid imagination... but why would the tentacles go after Jinto first? ^_^

Fanfics... I recommend these titles:

"Star Wars - The Fan Done Menace" - A mega-crossover parody which you have to read.

"Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Ranma" written by Stephen Tsai - very funny.

"No Need for Ranma!" written by Ammadeau - a funny Ranma, Tenchi Muyo and Sailor Moon parody-crossover.

"Teineina Tenshi No Teze (Kind Angel's Thesis)" - A Ranma/Evangelion crossover in which Ranma finds himself inhabiting the same body as Rei.

"Why Sailor Pluto Hates The Bet" - Another Ranma/Evangelion crossover in which Ranma transforms into Rei. Famous for a certain bone-crunching scene in episode 2...

"Magical Girl Pretty Ruri" - Its as insane as you think it is. A Nadesico-Sailor Moon parody, staring Ruri Ruri & co as the Sailor Senshi in the Gekiganger III 'Sailor Moon' universe.

Finally there's a mega-crossover to be found at http://forums.animeondvd.com/postlist.p ... topicforum
Scroll down the list until you find the forum thread "AoD NationStates: Digests" and click it. Its got characters from Crest/Banner of the Stars, El Hazard, .hack//Sign & .hack//Twilight, Oh My Goddess, Love Hina, Magical Project S (Pretty Sammy). And its still on-going, updated almost bi-daily.

Well now, let's see...

It's been a while since I read any regularly. Apart from CoaEG above, I'd recommend pretty much anything by Rod Malapitan (a co-author of the above). His fics are at http://www.thekeep.org/~rpm/fanfic/fics.htm

Whilst the page itself hasn't been renovated since '98 (and many of the fics haven't been touched since '99) what's there is good.

Another good place to look is Spoof Chase Productions, located at http://spoof.maison-otaku.net/ Led by Stefan "Twoflower" Gagne, the group hasn't done anything new since '99, but much of what they've done is also good. You may wish to avoid the link to Improfanfic - it became kind of elitist a couple of years back, and since then it's gone downhill, IMHO. Still, some of the older stuff is pretty good.

In particular, check out Twoflower's Slayers Trilogy, a post-Try work. You might not agree with all the stuff in it, but it is rather good. See http://pixelscapes.com/slayers/trilogy.html

If you can find any of Zen's Ranma 1/2 stuff, it's very good (though often dark), but his page died last year, and I'm not sure where you'd look. Try the RAAC archive, I guess. Nightelf's stuff (also mostly Ranma) can be found at http://www.thekeep.org/~nightelf/fanfic/index.html and is generally worth a look.

One of Mark's recommendation's references something called "The Bet", which was a big Ranma fic challenge a while back. Now, the winner and several contenders were really quite cool, but I've lost the ruddy homepage. Searching for it on google doesn't help (you try feeding "bet" in to google and see what you get), but I'll post the URL if I find it again.

Yet more Ranma fanfic - Scott Jamieson's work is at
http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Flats/5990/ . I'd suggest reading "Sauce", his best work by all accounts.http://www.thekeep.org/~willmore/2096a.htm is the home of Chris Wilmore's Ranma: 2096 fanfic. It's huge, odd, and interesting.

I'd finally like to recommend Lara Bartram's stuff - but most of it ain't for polite company, so I won't - and Andrew Huang's hilarious Neon Genesis Evanjellydoughnut. It's at http://hcs.harvard.edu/~alhuang/anime/f ... afics.html, or alternately you can check it at The Sound and The Furry productions (http://www.sound.maison-otaku.net/) where you'll also find stuff by my friend Eric Jones.

That's way more than enough. Enjoy!

Oh, while I remember: Fanfic authors are notorious for retiring without notice or simply failing to update their sites for years. Many of the above are perfect examples of that. You can usually mail 'em about it from their sites, but don't hold your breath.

Hey you went to Otakon?? I work at Otakon, and have been for a while now. How did you enjoy it? Do you post on the Otakon BBS?
