Tell us a bit more about the KCA fic and your plans for it!
Well, let's see... Komi-san Can't Adventure is basically my take on the Komi-san wa Komyushou Desu manga/anime if it took place in a fantasy setting. It's isekai minus the reincarnation/summoning bit for the main characters. They're adventurers doing quests and such, as you would expect.
A lot of events happen similarly to how they did in the manga, just with a few twists to keep it interesting. Most things from the manga have been skipped over in favor of writing my own material though. Sort of a 'you can just assume this happened' approach, I guess.
I don't really remember how exactly I came up with the idea originally, but I'm a big fan of the isekai genre (understatement), so this was perhaps an inevitability.
As for my plans for it... I'm not sure how much I should say, because it could spoil a lot. As of this latest chapter though, I've already introduced some characters from Steins;Gate into the mix. Which, that's another series I'm knee deep into. I'm really looking forward to having the characters from the two series interact with one another.
Okabe and Nakanaka have already met as of this latest chapter, and they basically share a brother/sister bond.
Komi and Moeka will get along really well, since they both have difficulties communicating with other people, and they both heavily rely on text-based forms of communication. Komi with her notebook, and Moeka with her rapid-fire texting.
Okabe is everything that Tadano used to be in middle school... The whole chuunibyou routine. Same as with Nakanaka... Okabe will be a big source of secondhand embarrassment for sure, but Tadano will warm up to him quite easily.
There's a lot of other fun interactions to consider, but these are the main ones I've had in mind for quite a while.
Next chapter will be partially set in Faris' catgirl maid cafe, the May Queen+Nyan² and will include a partial adaptation of the first year cultural festival arc of the Komi manga. It's also going to have my take on the Stark Expo, since Tony Stark is also in this fic as of these latest couple of chapters... He was isekai'd, lmao.
I've taken a liking to the concept of Attractor Fields from Steins;Gate, so I'm applying it on both a world line and multiversal scale with other 'Komiverses' that I wrote oneshots for. Also for some I haven't written yet.
That's also where another of my series, Komivergence, comes in. Tadano and Komi from the manga—specifically from the end of chapter 348—start involuntarily traveling to other Komiverses and meeting their various counterparts.
As for Starks;Gate, it is a prequel series to KCA that focuses mainly on Tony Stark and his interactions with the cast of Steins;Gate, plus an OC of mine.
