Fan Fiction Ideas and Suggestions

Thanks for the help! ^^V We need more collaborative projects around here. [nagi1]

Your first idea, involving a different/disastrous timeline crossing over into your main line, is one that I find very intriguing! If you are seeking a source of inspiration, I would direct you to watch an episode of Star Trek: Voyager (“Deadlock,” Season 2, ep. 21), in which a very similar event occurs. I would imagine that the “refugees” from the crappy timeline would be quite desperate, and might even come out attacking their counterparts in an attempt to take over their places. It would be interesting to see how your characters will react to their “bad” counterparts, with mercy at first but forced brutality later? Quite good food for though. As for adapting it into an established story, I would think that it would best fit as a sort of “after story.” Not quite a sequel, but more than an additional chapter. Sort of like an add-on story that readers can feel free to read or skip at their leisure. The same would go for your Ryoko idea I would imagine, seeing as it is dependent on an established story, but doesn’t have any bearing on the established story itself.

Thanks for the “Voyager” reference. ^^v I forget if I’d seen that episode or not, but I do remember “Year of Hell”, which was a similar time travel story. Hmm… a one-shot would be a cool idea, somewhat like the “History of Trunks” special in Dragonball. I’ll have to consider that idea more deeply before I can implement it. ;

Truthfully, I do hope that others might take the “alternate history” idea and run with it. For example, what if Tenchi fell to Kagato, in OVA or TV? How would the family, and the universe as a whole, cope? That would be a fan fiction I would read. [nagi3]

I have this great vision of a story involving Seto standing trial for her many backdoor manipulations and dirty dealings. Now, before anybody jumps to any conclusions, this is NOT some lame fanboy attempt to smack Seto around because I think she’s a “mary sue.” As I said a long time ago, she’s a very cool character with poor onscreen development. Anyway, my idea would involve the story beginning with the trial, and working backwards almost through a combination of testimony and flashbacks. I would like to explore the inner crises that such an event would cause not only for Seto, but for the other characters as well, after all most of them are her intimate family. As for the trial itself, I had in mind a sort of military tribunal taking place in the immediate aftermath of a disastrous struggle on Jurai. I’m not sure who I would have presiding/prosecuting/defending though, and I would be open to any ideas. I also haven’t got a clue at the moment as to how to end the story 😆

I would seriously enjoy seeing this. We had discussed doing something similar with Homecomings, but my version of Seto isn’t the “official” one. Your concept sounds a lot like the serial Trial of a Timelord from Doctor Who, which is also told via flashbacks to particular incidents with an overarching trial backdrop.

I could see Azusa or Funaho presiding over the case, though you might want someone new or scarcely used for that job. Preferably, this person would have no direct or known ties to the defendant, perhaps Ramia. The Juraihelm priests look a lot like the judge from Phoenix Wright, which could be cool. ^^v

… Actually, Ramia might be a better prosecutor. Edgeworth? :Tenchismile:

This is actually another idea I had considered previously. I had imagined a scenario in which Kagato had somehow succeeded in capturing Tsunami. What would happen then? Would Tokimi intervene to aide her sisters, or would she actually revel in the chaos? Could she intervene even if she wanted to considering Kagato’s position? Would we somehow see Tenchi and Z team up, even begrudgingly to take down a common enemy? Oh how I love alternate story speculation! It’s a never ending source of totally nerdy and thought provoking fun!

That each of those could be some fun ideas to test. ^^v I did a little speculation here and there in stories already about the Universe continuity if, say, Kagato or Kain succeeded. What would a Kagato-ruled Jurai be like? Would he be a tyrannical ruler, perhaps even try his hand at conquest of the galaxy? What might become of our beloved cast? [nagi1]

Well, I have Washu speculating about that briefly in Homecomings: Masaki, though I have not fleshed it out more. The more I think about it, the more an alternate history aside might be fun. [nagi1]

As for me I need to figure a few things for my current fanfiction project. I actually need to think of an equal experience between Ayeka and Tenchi as there is an experience for Ryoko and Tenchi I have planned. If you guys have any suggestions on that, I would be very open to them cx.

A common tactic used in several stories is to Ayeka’s dream of a courtly romance. This would include such tasks as attending formal dinners and the like. Another would be to break her of her regal training slowly. In this case, one might have her date her beau more casually. Okuda’s manga gives a very good story in this vein. :Tenchismile:

The main issue here is maintaining Ayeka’s character while maturing her relationship with Tenchi. Since her character was meant as a foil to Ryoko’s, you might consider Tenchi sharing with Ayeka what he either can’t or won’t share with Ryoko.

Also Pii I have a few ideas on why Tenchi can’t use his material conversion and on how to make a deeper role for Washu.

Lay them on us. [nagi3]

The idea of a world in which Kagato succeeds or even Kain has crossed my mind several times. I would definitely read that fanfiction if it is produced.

Funny you should say that *ahem* sort of anyay

Yeah, you could say that. http://evilpii.50webs.com/forum/tu-mitsuki2.png" />

I think I now have a concept for how this little side story would go and how to separate it, mostly, from my previous work.

Submitted for your approval, after the events of Tench Muyo! in Love 2 with Haruna, Masaki Tenchi awakes to find the Masaki estate in ruins. The house is gone, the grounds overrun with the encroaching forest, the shrine in shambles. After a moment of shock, he realizes that this is exactly how it all looked when he was being erased by time, yet he isn’t being erased. Confused, he roams across the nearby countryside, looking for something familiar, but nearly 30 years of time has worn much of the homestead away.

Except for the yokai cave, which attracts the young man. Entering, he navigates the ancient booby traps to its center, finding a huge green crystal, Washu’s exile unit, whole and in tact. With Tenchiken, the prince cuts through the seal and releases her. However, upon meeting her, she has no memory of him or the household. Frustrated and pleading, he describes his version of events, leading her to scan him, finding he is from a different reality parallel to this one. She continues to scan and find the awful truth of what happened in this world gone wrong.

Can Tenchi escape this reality, or should he stay and fix this twisted universe?

In fact, that might be a good title, “A World Gone Wrong” or “Twisted Tenchi Universe”. [nagi1] I thought “Tenchi Muyo! in Love 3” might be a good title, but that has been done already. http://evilpii.50webs.com/forum/tessei2.png" />

This would be tricky. In OVA, Mihoshi is infatuated with Tenchi, and depending on how she is broached about the others’ affections, she might react poorly. I think this is part of Misao’s worrying about her in OVA 3, as well as being an insanely obsessive brother. http://evilpii.50webs.com/forum/tu-mitsuki2.png" /> Tenchi, Ryoko, and Ayeka might want to consider how to break the news of their mutual arrangements to the others. I do like having Washu and Nobuyuki, both having lost a mate, consoling Mihoshi.
