FFX: The Pirate AU

Jun 13, 2007 18:21

Once upon a time, I rather foolishly posted a meme asking what my Flist would make me write if they had control over me for one day.

bottle_of_shine's first response was "PIRATE AU."

Title:
Rating: G
Word Count: 250
Characters: Auron; Jecht and Braska mentioned
Notes: I think I've mentioned this is an AU, right? And that it's bottle_of_shine's fault?

( Besaid was as he remembered it. )

[au: piratical], ffx: auron, ffx

So you die and become a pirate? Sweet!

not_cynical June 14 2007, 06:23:54 UTC

Of course! Didn't you know? ;P

virusq June 14 2007, 14:14:56 UTC

I do now! Does that make Sin the leviathan?

not_cynical June 14 2007, 15:54:34 UTC

I'm not entirely sure! Auron turned round to me one day while I was scribbling ideas and said very casually that his ship was called Sin.

... I am still sitting here going "Oh Jesus God you're trying to kill my brain aren't you?" and trying to decide how bad an idea that is. >_>

It can't hurt.

But, then again, it would probably be much less confining if you just changed the names and made it an original fic. You'd already have a foundation to work from and then people couldn't tell you how silly it is. ;X

But, hey! Can't go wrong with Auron and booty jokes. XD

not_cynical June 14 2007, 17:01:19 UTC

You'll pardon me if I'm not entirely convinced about the not-hurting?

Huh. Hadn't even thought of that. I have really bad memories of rewriting Digimon with changed names when I was about nine. I was gonna sell it and be a Real Author! I think the whole point is that people get to tell me the idea's silly?

XD YES. Auron and Jecht and booty jokes. It's gonna be fun.

virusq June 14 2007, 17:55:04 UTC

But why is the sake gone?

I wrote this really awful FFVI fan fic, once and everyone hated it because it was so out of character, so I went through and changed a couple of names and locations and reposted it under a different heading to see what happened. ...People came out of the woodwork to tell me how clever and original it was. Bah!

Oy vey!

That's an interesting notion...

Y'know, with a story idea like that, you might very well have turned Auron into the major villain of the piece.

If his ship is Sin, then he roughly occupies the same place Yu Yevon had in the Game.

If people want to defeat Sin, they're gonna have to do to Auron what they did to Yevon in the Game... :O

Maybe there's a way to write your way out of this conundrum...

If you want to, that is... ;)

Where do I find all these different themes? vandevere June 17 2007, 04:36:30 UTC

So I can write a theme-fanfic too?

Re: Where do I find all these different themes? not_cynical June 17 2007, 13:13:21 UTC

The themes are on here on pyre_flies.

I have a fanfic on FF.net that has two of these themes... vandevere June 17 2007, 16:29:56 UTC

Would I be able to link to the fanfic as long as I mentioned the two themes?

Vandevere

Re: I have a fanfic on FF.net that has two of these themes... not_cynical June 17 2007, 16:47:31 UTC

I think so? I'm pretty sure you can link to fic posted to other places, so long as it fits in with your claim. (shanaqui is probably the best person to ask, I have to say - she's the mod of pyre_flies.)

Re: I have a fanfic on FF.net that has two of these themes... vandevere June 17 2007, 17:36:55 UTC

I've just been told I have to claim these things, and I'm not really sure what's meant by that. I really DON'T want to break any rules here, but NO ONE is telling me how to do this properly. And it's making me come off looking like a dork... :(

So, how do I do this properly?

Ack! I hope I haven't been adding to your confusion! Let me see if I can help...

For pyre_flies, you leave a comment on this post, claiming either a character or a pairing from FFX/X-2 - which means, as far as I know, that you sign up to write about that character for the themes. (I claimed Auron for it, which might not have been the best idea I ever had.) After that, shanaqui should approve your request and add it to the list, and then you can start posting fics based off the themes.

(As far as I can tell, you are actually allowed to link to things on FF.net, so yes you could post a link to your story.)

I hope that helped! If not, then if you tell me which parts are getting you muddled I'll do my best to help.

not_cynical June 17 2007, 15:59:41 UTC

... I hadn't thought of that. I mean, there'd been the whole "Oh great I've just made Auron part of Sin" thing, but I hadn't made the connection to Yu Yevon.

... I think this idea just got worse more interesting. Although I'm quite tempted to keep Auron where he is and watch the drama...

That's the best idea... vandevere June 17 2007, 16:25:44 UTC

Just let the idea develop, and watch the fur fly...

You never know. Maybe a really GREAT story will come of this. Remember, it doesn't have to be a HAPPY story. Just a good one... ;)
