Forum:FC:Café Fanfic XIII



A bit belatedly, here's a Café Fanfic topic for June.

Just like the previous ones, we're going to talk about fan-fiction (yours). The basic ground rules are the same. Please restrict this to stuff from your fan-fiction, but aside from that, no pressure. You can suggest, make observations, but no condemning other people's work and "I don't know" is a perfectly acceptable answer.

June's topic: Let's talk about mistakes. What's an idea or a concept you had for a story or a character that ended up getting shelved? Why did you shelve it? Did it ever get adapted into something else? Atarumaster88  ( Talk page ) 20:26, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

 * I was in the middle of writing Force Exile IV: Guardian and was planning the following Yanibar Tales. I had an idea for a story that would allow readers to get to know Morgedh clan Kel'nerh, a new character introduced in FE IV. This story would place Selu Kraen and Morgedh on an Imperial COMPNOR/ImpRedesign ship investigating a series of demented scientific experiments on alien species. It was supposed to be a foray into the horror genre. A couple things happened that cause the story to be canned. First off, I wasn't excited about the story concept. It was less about the characters and more about fighting a combination of mad science and Imperial baddies. Meh. Second, I read Deathtroopers and while it was an okay read, writing something in that genre had even less appeal. Ultimately, I cut the story and ended up merging some parts of its concept with another story concept involving Akleyn Kraen and Bryndar Knrr which became Deception on R'alla instead, which I felt turned out much better.
