Idea - An original MD fic?
So, this is an idea I've had rolling around in my head for awhile. I wanted to write and original Mystery Dungeon fic. At the time, I was also thinking about an idea with the Eeveelutions and their respective types in a war of some sort. So, I combined the two to make it easier on my head xD
So, what I have so far is an interview (like at the beginning of the games, only more... interactive, I guess?) with the main character. I want to write a prologue, but I'm not entirely sure how to go about it... and I have chapter one (or the rough draft) done, and am currently working on the second chapter. The main character is an Eevee, and the majority will be written from her point of view (first person). Her partners are a Turtwig and Pikachu (with whom the Eevee may get involved in a relationship - though right now its just hinted at). ... And yes, it must be an Eevee. Eventually, it will play a big part in the plot. I haven't got all of the filler figured out, but I do have quite a few of my major plot points sorted out... kind of. I have a lot of planning to do, and I'm going to attempt and get it done before I really get in deep with the story. It will most likely venture into PG-13 at some points, but nothing too awful. (Murder, good character death, betrayal, mating, etc.) I'll wrap this up with a question: Would it be possible to have an Espeon learn Hypnosis? Again, it's something I'd like for the plot. I can work around it, but it would be awkwardish... (And, if this idea has already been done, let me know. I don't want some flamer come on and say I stole the idea when I didn't.) |
I don't mean to offend you with any of the following advice, but I will sound a bit biting. It's just that I don't know what angles you're taking, so my mind's automatically thinking you might be headed down routes I've seen before.

You see a treasure box? What do you do? Go open it! It's a trap! "Gee, I don't know. Maybe go open it?" That tends to be a boring opener, and you want to lure in your readers with some excitement or something that they can mentally visualize in general. If you meant "interactive" as in the reader would get in on it, that might still have the same effect in that we're reading essentially a quiz, but we're not entirely drawn into the world that you're creating. Additionally, if I may ask, what storyline are you going with? I ask because most MD fics tend to use the storyline of the first games (kid gets sent to Pokémon world and is transformed into a Pokémon with no memory of how it happened). You could still possibly pull this off, but it's just a warning in that you may need to really be careful with the rest of the fic (in the same way one would be careful about writing an OT story if they have the main character wake up late initially for plot purposes).

On the contrary, some constructive criticism was what I really wanted. And, I don't think it was biting at all ^^

Right now, it won't be like a multiple choice quiz, it'll be more like an interviewer branching off by asking questions depending on the answer. However, it is mainly just question and answer right now, with maybe an action here and there... And no, the reader isn't involved in any way with the quiz, if that's what you meant by that. Quote:
But, yes, she was initially a human who lost her memory. I'll think about it, seeing as you advise against it. Quote:

I do thank you for your advice - it made me think some more, which I needed to do. |

Some people have no problem with this. Others will probably wander to other fics because they'll assume they've read this kind of thing before. Quote:
