I have this maddening habit of connecting Hal with SHODAN. I can't not do it.

Anyone ever wanted to do a fic where one of the main good guys is evil?

... I may be tired of having an increasingly, extensively plotted MGS story that would take fukken ages to write and involve an OFC. Gah, I can't even write OFCs when they're not in a relationship with anyone. It pings my Mary Sue hatred. :|

:lalala, keeps mentally hashing out her crazy MGS5 fic concept:

Let me just say this: \o/

DOO IIIT - I love things like that. :)

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

I do too, but no one likes to beta that sort of thing.

I dunno, maybe I'll try telling the story in a series of ficlets or something similar. Some stylistic approach to dodge the whole need for decent writing.

I would like to beta that sort of thing :D I mean this.

I love fics like this but they're so hard to pull off.

I HAVE FAITH YOU CAN DO IT, THOUGH.

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

Erm, but it'd be so long and instead of having a Snake to focus on, there's a OFC and no one (myself included) reads those. :|

UNLESS SHE IS PSYCHO MANTIS'S DAUGHTER AND HAS LONG BLOND HAIR AND OTACON FALLS IN LOVE WITH HER AND SHE DOESN'T DIE you don't have a lot to worry about.

I'm a lot more accepting of OFCs in MGS fandom, partly because there's such a low X chromasome survival rate and partly because it's not like Kojima didn't randomly decide to make the protagonist a pretty never-seen-before OC with killer hips for no reason.

Her name is Agent Wash(ington), genderswapped upgraded Expy of a character of the same name, she has zero prior interaction with the established MGS crew (except, uh... [spoiler]).

P-psycho Mantis's daughter, how would that even work :O

... Well, okay, if you and athenemiranda would read it, it may be worth writing. THOUGH IT'D BE HEAVY ON THE SUNNY, WOULD THAT SQUICK YOU, FLY? DO YOU STILL HATE HER?

[firefly99.livejournal.com]

SHOCK HORROR. OF COURSE I AM SO FUNDAMENTALLY SQUICKED BY THE EXISTENCE OF THE CANON KID OF MY M/M OTP THAT IT WOULD MAKE IT TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO EVEN STOMACH EIGHT WORDS OF YOUR FIC. I FEEL THE BILE RISING IN MY THROAT RIGHT NOW AND AM GOING TO SEND YOU AN ENVELOPE FULL OF NAPALM AS A COURTESY.

Seriously, be respectful towards Sunny and don't write her as the kind of glurgey 'I KNOW DADDY WILL BE OKAY BECAUSE I SAWED AN ANGEL DOWNSTAIRS WHO LOOKED LIKE MOMMY' fictional child who makes fire shoot out of my eyes in beams, and I'll keep my character biases to myself. I actually love reading about characters I don't like, I'm a freak.

Also, I don't know what era you're writing in, but if she's still a child GOOD ON YOU. Fanfic needs more decently written children.

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

NO YOU WON'T, YOU LIVE IN UK LAND, THE SHIPPING WOULD BE OUTRAGEOUS. :P

Theeeen this fic will be great. :D

GOD NO, not child!Sunny, no no no. My fic takes place quite a few years after MGS4. It's all speculative, "hey, what if...?" stuff.
