I have discovered a few things on this wild journey of mine: 1) I’ve never written a novel-length fanfiction before 2) I am trying to write a SERIES, why did i think this was a good idea?! 3) I have thrown myself into the deep end 4) I mean I always WANTED to write a novel series but um - they never flew?
So, fanfiction! Perfect place to practice! However, I am a critical ‘attempting to be a serious’ writer so I am not (in some ways unfortunately) a oblivious young tadpole crashing about in the pond.
My loyal reviewer, kaleidoscope recommended I move to the spacebattles forums for more feedback and I have been bitten by the ‘hey, I can fix stuff I was unhappy with!’ bug. Whoops. ^_^;
I am really excited about write this self-indulgent AU about Eorzea featuring
Legacy (1.0) Warriors of Light!
a team of True Companions!
I am now realizing the Scions were intended as the True Companions but the Player Character doesn’t get to talk much and the Scions don’t have the Echo and you’re either explicitly alone or accompanied by ‘trusted adventurer comrades’ while fighting the primals
Ignoring this and deciding to write a fic about Warriors of Light & their Echohearing Free Companymates who are also weird and Gifted in their own ways
2.0 (ARR) Warriors of Light!
Backstory! Character Building!
Warriors of Light with a Past!
(the Scions will still be there but in... an admittedly decreased capacity. Honestly, they’re probably still the Circle of Knowing)
BETTER MINFILIA CHARACTERIZATION (they wasted a perfectly good character)
sometimes SE Told rather Showed
TBH - loads of Original Characters (Adventurers)
Worldbuilding! (but why? You have a whole world already - I KNOW!)
Logophile/Language Nerdery
Less Ascians, More Imperial Menace
Give the Ala Mhigans an awesome leader, godsdamnit
Less Cosmic Conflict, More Mortal Concerns
Spirituality/Spirit Stuff
The series as a whole is: Our Different Fates (It is so a meta-title)
