[Fanfic] - Untitled future!AU featuring Hakkai and Gojyo

Jan 05, 2014 15:04

So I’ve been working on a new fic for a little while now and finally got together a draft that I’m happy enough with to post. It’s been a desire of mine for a while to o a sci-fi AU story, and I got inspiration from a few sources to help me along; Tron, Transmetropolitan, a matriyoshka AMV, university studies and my fiance’s interest in computing ( Read more... )

Thanks for a gripping read. Really well built from foundations all the way up to such details as instead of a lightbarrier and glass windows instead of translucent silicone displays. Altopgether an excellent futuristic world. Hakkai is both ic and richly written.

Your AU of the Minus Wave is convincing - and the details of the experiments are horrifying, in the right way.

I like meeting a smart Gojyo. Which I agree the canon one is.

Good last sentence - and I certainly hope it isn't the last, and I'll be reading more soon.

Phew! Glad you found it convincing - especially smart Gojyo. Gotta use whatever talents you have, and in this world he has a couple extra. I've always thought he was more than just a pretty face ;3 I'm also glad my imaginary rendering of a 'futuristic' tech-soaked landscape wasn't too jarring; I did worry it might be a bit transparent to crowbar in translucent silicone displays and suchlike.

I have a few details planned out, and a couple more chapters due for a rewrite, so watch this space! ;)

I've not read your fic yet (saving it for after 'lights-out' tonight)...but I just wanted to tell you how good it is to see you!

Hi, just finished. Well done! That was fascinating and I really liked smart!Gojyo. People tend to underestimate him and only play to his lothario side but given the opportunity I think there's a lot more there. I can see him working on barely legal biotech and the creativity with which he obviously creates it.I don't really like it when people write him as being dumb as a box of rocks. To me his intelligence tends to be instictive and emotional with is a good foil for Hakkai's formal education and well developed logical skilll (when he's sane).

Exactly! I love Gojyo when he's showing his learned-on-the-go smarts, as well as his emotional intelligence. I'm also pleased that they're not too 2D - writing the boys how they are is hard when we see so many facets of them over different fics and different authors. I'm glad they come across well for you :)

I love me some sci-fi stories. I thoroughly enjoyed this chapter, the descriptions of what Hakkai was feeling were great, and so were the ideas behind the different dnas.

Thank you! Chapter 1.5 is up, if you want some more, and chapter is in progress as we speak ;)
