This fic may be one gigantic excuse to give Hal a specific codename that NO ONE BUT ME will get.

(Tho if you are a long-time gamer and have an interest in fictional AI, you just might...)

So I need to write some fucking MGS fic. I am trying desperately to hash out an odd little idea for an AU where Otacon is a villian. Yes, really (or maybe not really? Not sure yet). A cyberterrorist of sorts, perhaps, or a blackmailer who uses his computer savvy for evil instead of good.

Mostly, I just want to write Snake as a FBI op who's tasked with tracking down the crazy, paranoid hacker and drag his ass to justice. Of course, something has to go wrong because it's MGS and something always goes wrong. Betrayal or something.

Point being: Who'd wanna beta a MGS fic? Maybe I should look around the comms to see if anyone is up for me typing fic at them.

Also, I'm making a fanmix. Because I haven't been part of the fandom if I haven't made a mix for it. Blame Snow Patrol's new album.

PS: Any fellow fen (all three of you :p) know if Liquid was ever given a canon first name? Solid got one, Solidus was George... did Liquid just miss out?

IS HIS CODENAME 'CON OTTER'

I'VE ALWAYS SECRETLY WANTED TO WRITE HIM HAVING THAT CODENAME FOR WHATEVER REASON

Go with CIA instead of FBI for Snake, because both he and his sexy father canonically were part of the CIA for a while, but his dad pointedly rejected the FBI in Portable Ops. It'd make a bit more sense.

I think Otacon as a villain would work if he was a 'yeah, okay, this is morally bad but I'm doing it for the greater good' type villain, considering his canon philosophy. I think he would kick the dog right through a goddamn window if it was necessary.


tl;dr OOOOH OOOOOH PICK ME

... "Con Otter"? :eyebrow:

MY CODENAMES ARE MUCH LAMER THAN THAT.

But what I'm having Snake do is not really CIA jurisdiction. I have only rudimentary knowledge of the agencies, but I'm fairly sure CIA handles international intelligence while FBI does domestic stuff that's too big for local police. But I could just handwave that...

Goddamn me and my hatred of the PSP. :looks lovingly at her DS, Astraeus:

I'm hashing out why Otacon is evil at the moment. It's really fun, 'cause it's basically working off one idea ("Snake chasing down Otacon") and building a situation where it all works. And subsequently making a Big Fic out of it. And it's been years since I pulled off a Big Fic. :D


Do you have Google Documents? I usually use that to write fic to make it easy for potential betas to read and edit. And you'd be an amazing beta. I've read a lot of your LJ since getting into this fandom and you seem to know pretty much everything, which is helpful to me. :D
