Folks, as mentioned before, I was in Tenchi fandom during the late ’90s and early ’00s. From a conversation on the mini-chat tonight, it was suggested that I make a thread about some of the old fan fiction of years gone by. Thus, here are some of the fan fiction pieces that I recall from that era. ^^v
Regular
*
Confess to You

* Ryoko’s Love

* A Startica Song

* The Web of Life

* Changing Agreements

* Cast Seeds

Lemon

* Aikan Muyo

* Heaven and Eternity

* Powers That Be

* Negative Genesis

* Hiatus

Many of these were nominated for the Tenchi Muyo! Fan Fiction Awards in years past. While the original awards site is long since dead, the Internet Archive has a copy of the nomination listing. I’m sure that most of the stories listed are worth a read. ^^v Below are the links that I have for the nomination pages.

*
2001 Nominations

* 2002 Nominations

* 2003 Nominations

* 2004 Nominations

Enjoy the reading. ^^v

  Lemon – Any fan fiction containing graphic sexual situations that are described. Much like adultfic and PWP’s, only a lemon might be a full length story that contains merely scene of graphic sex.

  After some reminiscing in minichat, I thought I would post a link that first got me into fan fiction. [nagi3]
  
  TENCHI MUYO vs. ALIENS (Part1)
  
  This story is one of the first I ever read, and it inspired me to write my first story, Tenchi Muyo! versus Men in Black. A crossover between Tenchi and Aliens, it was a rather odd fusion of universes, though I could see it going places. I had hoped to contact the author with a proposal to continue the story myself with some twisted ideas, like a Juraian Xenomorph Queen. However, that never came to pass… yet. [nagi1]

  While doing some organizing my file server, I got nostalgic and, after a chat with Shadowsfall, did a search for the old chat logs from the days of the IRC chatroom. I actually found the following link.
  
  FanWorks.org Chat Logs
  
  These are vintage chat logs from Fall 1998 when several Tenchi fan fiction authors, including myself, were role-playing our original characters together. Many of these authors are no longer in the fandom, though I have run into them periodically afterward. Also, according to the site’s news page, this link may soon become defunct.
  
  I still have mixed feelings about these old logs. Admittedly, I was 18 at the time and just started undergraduate study, so my narrative style lacked significant luster. Naturally, this could be said about most all of us then. Also, after these sessions, there was a rather significant falling out between several participants, which somewhat taints the memory.
  
  Moreover, several of my story ideas arose during these role-plays, which sometimes leads me to debate my own creativity. Now and then, I wonder how much I owe to my friends at that time for the stories I write today. Truthfully, I have developed my ideas in the 15 years since, though inklings can still be seen in Inheritance and Homecomings, as well as my future plans. Lots of refinement into Will Pii and Nerti Ro’s backstory came here, as well as several retcons. The characters Angelica Pii and Demonica Seven were created here, about whom I hope to write one day.
  
  In retrospect, I thank all those fellow authors, both for their inspiration and their friendship in those days. I would not be the writer, or really the person, I am today without knowing you. Overall, I look fondly on those times, and miss them from time to time.
  
  I share these here to give everyone a glimpse into the old times that some of the fan fiction authors had in the late ’90s, as well as an insight into how some of our development occurred. We all had some wacky ideas then, and finding out to blend our respective views of the Tenchi world took some doing. Perhaps these logs could inspire other authors in their writings.

  Fair enough. :Tenchismile: I copied the logs to my own file server as well. Hopefully, it won’t die (again) any time soon. tu-mitsuki2

  After some strolling down memory lane, I rediscovered the old Tenchi Fanart Archive, which happens to hold some fan art from many of these stories. Here are links to the illustrations for these stories. ^^v

  So you’ve been in the game for a while poi I’m suprised. I got into the fandom only 4 years ago. So are these fan writers still around though?

  Some of them are. Most of them aren’t. It has been over 15 years since then.
