crankyoldman: "Hermann, you don't have to salute, man." [Pacific Rim] (syndrome nerd)
[personal profile] crankyoldman
To be either completed or deleted. No holding onto excess stuff. For realz. And writing it all out, story by story. Italics are for shorter stories, bolds for arcs/multichapters.



Original

Untitled "Spy Gets Wrong Assignment" Fic
I do believe this one is meant to be very dark humored.

Troubled Boy (working Title)
Very gay undertone, sort of Midwesterny feel. Not sure where it's going, but it's got a nice tone.

End of Time (working title, not likely to stay)
Not apocalyptic, sort of a weird story involving this Virginia character and a train station that keeps popping up in my random snippets. Not sure where it's going, though.

The Lesbian Detective Story (ha ha, obviously not the final title)
Inspired by the detectiveslash community, with women because it's fun to do that. I need to do a little more research before I can make it sound right, may need to change up the plot a little. I like the characters well enough, though, and the concept.

Old Lines (working title, may change)
Inspired by my grandfather, some kind of contemporary piece.
Skips a Generation

Jonas Vs. The Succubus (working title)
Jonas is an old character that doesn't get much play because my older writings and ideas are basically awful. I think this was meant for Halloween last year, and I just never finished it. Totally not about sex at all.

Sylph's Lessons in Pirating (working title)
I typically hate roguish types, I know. Only time I've ever wanted to work with one of those types, mostly because he's awesome and his appearance is based on some hot old guy I met once.

The Goddesses
Semi-autobiographical thing that I've been poking at for a while, in the vein of other stories.
The Goddesses

Making Friends
The continuing adventures of my robot zombie Percival, his child maker AJ, and the cowardly Dragon. An actual arc, somewhat steampunk, but without a ridiculous amount of meta. Children's stories, really, for the types of kids that would read Holocaust literature in elementary school (aka, what I did at that age. XD). The next adventure involves meeting the Preteen Emo Knight, who is actually not emo and writes letters to his parents. I really should do more with this, it's adorable.

Imperaxyl
I didn't forget about this thing, just sort of got busy with other things. "Nev's Very Bad Day" is currently enqueue.

The Superheroverse
Because every nerd has one. Drak and I have flirted with this a lot, using characters from fandom and stuff we play with in it. Likely going to take out the fandom ones, even if it resulted in hilariously awesome Kain/Edgar.

Archetypicality: Caricature
My serial, which apparently needs some edits and of course, finishing.

- The Paladin
Or How To Explain The Hero Being Dead

Liquid: Sketches From the Side of Town I Used to Live
That contemporary crazy-story that is really only marginally based on some of my own experiences. 8/10 done.

- Supreme Supreme
- Chrome
- Black Box, Part 2

Fanfic

Reeve and Cid Make a Hoverboard, FFVII
Well, obvious.

Untitled Jecht/Auron/Braska, FFX
Because it's hot. Me experimenting with writing action.
The Difference

"Cid and Cloud Get Into Trouble" (working title), FFVII:OGC
Actually, I think this is finished, I just need to ask Fly if I can post it, since it was originally supposed to be some joint fic/art thing, with me writing and her drawing.
Blonde Ambition

Untitled Veld and Wee!Aeris fic, FFVII:BC Someone Else's Daughter

That Kind of Creepy Isshiki/Itsuki fic, RahXephon
God, I love Isshiki, but he's brutal on my nerve endings some days. I like this because there's not a lot written about him, and in particular how he got to Saoyoko (because that's complicated).
Revenge Is A Dish

Untitled Spy Game slash story, Spy Game
Because really, that movie was SO slashy. I think I merely need to pull it out of a chatlog, because I remember writing it in chat somewhere.
All Roads Lead To Berlin

That pregame Squall/Seifer story that I may never publish, FFVIII
Because there's already enough Squall/Seifer on the internets. It needs to go somewhere, though.
Went somewhere, which is not here.

Chasing the Blue Fairy
Because Iffy is a hot femme fatale, really.

Grow Up And Blow Away, FFVII: AC
That experimental Tifa/Elena fic that has some Canadian Idol character cameos. I kind of love it, but I have to be in the right mindset for it. Chapter 3 has been hanging for a while.

Must Be Dreaming, FFVII:BC
Iffy-centric arc that involves massive conspiracy on the part of her, Veld, and Vincent. Because it's fun, and it'd be fun to make it so the people that died in game sort of have this thing they're orchestrating in the background. Some individual stories in arc to follow.

- The ConspiracyThe Conspiracy

- Corruption
Iffy and the mechanations of craziness going around.
Corruption

Empire, FFVIII
In which Rinoa takes over the world, where things like that crazy Fujin/Xu story happened. Pretty much. Arc, so I have individual stories!

- I've Got Instincts of My Own I've Got Instincts of My Own

- The Selphie POV story
Which may or may not be awesome.

- The Rinoa Story in which I explain how the hell it all happened
Yeah.
The Quistis/Laguna story in which I explain how most of it happened.

Reality, FFVII AU
Lucrecia-centric set of stories, mostly backstory, sort of related to the Lettersverse. Also, technically songfics to David Bowie's "Reality" album. XD 3/10 done.
Trading this for "Hotel"

They Were Four, FFVIII
Or How Sorceresses Bring About the End of the World. Because we can't have enough world destruction in fantasy.
ALL DONE

Hotel
[profile] spoony_bards claim for the backstory cast of FFVIII characters, with some focus on Caraway, Laguna, and Edea in particular. The narrative is centered around the Galbadia Hotel, to further drive the themes.

- Hotel Intro Hotel Intro
- Raining Again Raining Again
- Beautiful Beautiful
- Lift Me Up
- Where You End
- Temptation
- Spiders
- Dream About Me
- Very
- I Like It
- Love Should
- Slipping Away
- Forever
- Homeward Angel

Old-Fashioned
Or what I'm sticking any young Cid/Edea stories under, because they are wonderful to write and there needs to be more of them.

Unsent
Collection of stories about Yuna, Auron, and their weird almost father/daughter thing they have going. Intend to go through the whole pilgrimage.

WEE AERIS RUNNING AROUND THE OFFICE! AWESOME!!!

I’m sure it’s the Hogan’s Heroes kick talking but when Iffy femme fatale, I can her Vincent saying “The Cetra is trouble.” And we all know Iffy doesn’t like children. ^^

The rest sound just as exciting. Good luck.

I think I should start calling you magpie. You have a thing about hoarding shinies.
