All-Purpose Nasuverse Fanfiction Thread

I'd probably enjoy running the crossover story if that's cool with you. I mean, so long as my chronic lateness on updates isn't a problem...

Already got candidates for Saber, Berserker, Lancer, and Caster in mind, shouldn't be too hard to come up with a few more...

Okay, thinking about it, I think I've narrowed down my Servants:

Saber: Arturia Lily

Lancer: Elizabeth Lily (Could be interesting as a kinda twisted sort of innocence)

Archer: EMIYA Lily/Emilya (AU of Heaven's Feel where Shirou's soul is placed in Ilya's body)

Caster: Medea Lily

Berserker: Kiyohime Lily (Using her Stage 2 appearance. I'd have to do some independent research on her since the TM wiki has nothing)

Rider: Medusa Lily

Assassin: Semiramis Lily (Who would probably be really fun to write since she'd be using her adorableness to manipulate damn near everyone)

Naturally, I'd see just how far I can twist things will still ending up with everyone teaming up to fight Angra Mainyu.

I'd rather try something new, and keep my selection a secret for now.

So, the format of this Magical Girl Warrior Grail... straight up battle, weird proxy battle like in the latet season of Milky Holmes, Carnival Phantasm-esque game show or what? Because if it's collecting balls, the most murderous Master with the most useful support Servant has a lead...

I figured it'd be straight-up battle, but with near-infinite do-overs/rematches because, y'know, non-lethal.

That's what you have Ruler for. She's literally there to prevent Kirei from instantly winning due to a combination of being both evil and competent.

The war is much the same - just enforcedly non-lethal, which also adds the caveat of having to protect the crystals you already have. Assassin thus becomes actually viable as a class by acting as a thief. It doesn't matter how easily Saber could stomp her into the ground if she can't kill her. Hell, in the Crossover Version this rule is even more easily enforced by using Madokami or Sailor Cosmos as Ruler, since either of them can just bring whatever servant dies back to life whenever they want.

I'm willing to take either version, both, or neither (IE if you two want to take it I don't have a problem with co-authoring both and letting you take most of the credit).

By the by, here's Kiyohime's stuff. Her stats are horrendous and she has all of two things that would make her a remotely viable servant outside the Grand Order game:

Her positively crazy Mad Enhancement (Rank EX) and her Noble Phantasm (also Rank EX), the latter of which turns her into a dragon for 'one turn', which basically means one attack. She's literally so insane that she managed to turn into a dragon despite not having a drop of dragon ancestry blood in her.

So, does the change only affect the 5th HGW or all of them?

Only the fifth, because otherwise we'd have to rewrite a lot of stuff. Besides, the original thing started with Zelretch doing the set up for the most delayed prank of all time, and his intended target is Rin.

To make him match, we can always have Gilgamesh accidentally drink a potion that turns him into a young girl instead of a young boy. Of course, this being Gilgamesh, she adapts pretty well to the change (and wonders whether she'll grow into an adult man, an adult woman, or stay that way forever - after all, she doesn't know what the potion she drank actually does).

Okay, good. I was worried about it affecting all of them. This means we can have much fun with Rin, Gil, and Kotomine wondering just what the hell's going on.

....to commit, or not to commit. That is the question...

....ah, fuck it. I'll take the crossover edition.

We running this shit solo, or co-authoring?

Like I said, your call.

Fuck it. I really shouldn't but I'm in with the in-house version. I'm cool with doing the writing while we spitball plot points.

Cool enough with me. Now, we can do this however ya guys want, through PM over TV Tropes or FF.net, or even through a thread over at Iridia, or even openly here - if you don't mind it being full of spoilers.

Hrm... I think it's probably best to try and co-author, though I'm not sure exactly how we'd do that...

If nothing else, IANCE, I'd like to adopt you as my sounding board.

For my preference, I'm probably going to advocate rockin' the P Ms over at ffnet.

EDIT: link to my ffnet profile is in my sig.

The PM system here is clunky and outdated. I think I'd rather use FF.net's PM system. Yo.

Ready whenever you guys are. Or when I'm not falling asleep. It varies.

Okay,maybe this is a bit too late, but can I propose Lutecia for Rider class in crossover part? Simply because it will be amusing to see Ganryu goes Rider (ass)Kick-ing on Shinji ('s ass). And maybe, just maybe, chance to see Zouken utterly screwed by the fact that Sakura's servant pulling a Kerrigan on him.

Rider is a class that I'm taking suggestions for... but not from the MGLN franchise (since I already have some possibilities in mind for other classes, and I'd rather not repeat a crossover if I can help it).

Archer's another one I'm kind of hurting on ideas for, even worse than Rider.

Rider: Cardcaptor Sakura. She's got the flying staff, and since I'm given to understand that Riders are supposed to be the class with the haxest Noble Phantasms, you've got an excuse to go wild with the Sakura Cards. Only other ones I can think of are meguca from spinoffs, like the one form Kazumi who summons bears or the one from Symmetry Diamond who commands witches.

Archer: Tsubasa, because there can never be enough sword-chucking Archers. Chris from the same anime, if you want to be boring and pick someone with an actual range weapon. Sailor Mars if you want an Archer who actually, you know, arches. A whole mess of meguca, including gunners, archers, a pew pew laserbeamer, and of course the all-important sword-chucker.

Usalia for Rider. She even regularly rides into the battle, compared with many other magical girl series that lacks proper mount.

....

...Well, Chibiusa might be eligible, though, considering Unicorn....

EDIT: For Archer: Akane Isshiki, or as I call it, what happened if Tony Stark makes a Magical Girl Warrior anime.

I'll say, definitely the most difficult role to fill up is Berserker. Not many magical girls go truly berserk in their careers.

Yeah, the only one I know of is from the Deconstructor Fleet of the entire Magical Girl genre.

Well, there's also insane. Which magical girl is truly fucked up in the head?

…

Puni Puni Poemi!

Most Symphogear girls have potentials to be Berserker, though. Or maybe some Brainwashed and Crazy Precures or Precures-to-be.

And of course, there's Mahou Shoujo Site...
