Suddenly... A New Fan-Fic Idea!
 
I was just sitting around on day, thinking about Pokemon, when I had a rather interesting idea for a Pokemon fan-fic. I grabbed a piece of paper and started writing it down, and more of the plot unfurled in my head as I jotted down ideas.

So, the basic plot would be something along the lines of...

A 14 year-old girl named Eevee has been having terrifying dreams lately, although she won't tell anyone because of her fear that they'll send her away to a mental asylum. So, she continues to have the same dream over and over, until it becomes so bad that the dream becomes reality, and she is transformed in the process. When she wakes up, she is a Pokemon - Eevee, of course - and she meets another Pokemon after he saves her from a Donphan attack. The Pokemon then asks her to join him on a Rescue Team, and she accepts, saving Pokemon while trying to figure out why she is no longer human.

So, the story is loosely based around Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. I plan to make the story darker and more like reality, seeing that death and failure are really possible when it comes to trying to stay alive deep below the earth in dungeons full of enemies.

So, what does everyone think? Is the idea worth it?

I think it sounds good, but maybe not call the girl Eevee, it sounds too obvious

Agreed. That made me figure out that she would automatically have something happen to her that involved an Eevee. You really don't want to automatically smack the reader with things like that. It would be pretty much like myself writing about a boy named Pikachu who transforms into a Pikachu.

If you want to use a name that has some sort of meaning with the dreams, look at baby name sites and find a name with a meaning you like and use that.

Aside from the "more realistic" side of this that you want to add, this sounds like every other Mystery Dungeon fic out there. You can make your fic stand out from the rest, however.

Other Character Names
 
Okay, let's see...

Some other names for the main character could be Wren, Skye, Kyler, Kit, or Navi.

What about those?

~~~~~

On another note, I'll change the Pokemon she transforms into something different, as Eevee is way overused. -.-;
I'll get to that as soon as I can.

Any one of those sounds better than "Eevee" as a name. Personally, I like Kit as a name.

But then again, LugiaFreak, it is your character, so you can chose whatever name out of those four that you like the best. There's not a problem with those names. So you can name her whatever name out of those, or any other one, that you like.

Names
 
Alright. I just kinda thought those up and wrote them down as some different ideas, so I may use a different name anyway. Maybe. ;)

Thanks for you opinion, though! I'll take these suggestions into consideration if I ever get this fic off the ground. :)

COPYCATTER. I was gonna make an MD-based fic with an Eevee as the main character!! >=(

*Chuckles* Just kidding. The idea is great, really, and hopefully both you and I can find our own ways to stand out from the other MD fics. Best of luck to you! ^^

No More Eevee

Hey, don't worry. I'm changing the main character to something else, as Eevee is used a lot in fan-fics and I wanted to try something different.

But thanks for the good luck! I wish the same for you! ^_^
