I know my requests are closed but Iām dyinĀ over all the drama at the stage event so here are the fics that came out! (Iāll update this as the weekend goes by)
Overcome Chihoko by reginar, renaissance, Teen, 2.7k Yuuri has the words OVERCOME CHIHOKO written on his back, a pair of underpants on his head, and apparently Viktorās gone missing.
rooftop by maladroitcore, Teen, 1k Somehow, Yuuri is naked on the roof of Hasetsu Castle with Victor.
WHO IS CHIHOKO? by pensversusswords, Teen, 1.4k (WIP) Drabbles inspired by the Yuri on Stage event announcement. Viktor and Yuuri are jealous husbands, Seunggil is affectionate when drunk, and Viktor loves Yuuriās off season tummy. All is good in the world.
affection for an idiot by harlequindreaming (armydoctor), Teen, 2.2k āIs this better than Chihoko?ā he yells down defiantly.Ā Yuuri looks up at this impossibly irrational, petty and ridiculous man, who is apparently so in love with Yuuri that heās willing to risk life, limb, and dignity to prove himself more worthy of Yuuriās love. Against his better judgement, Yuuri starts to smile.āWhoās Chihoko?ā he yells back. āI could search the whole world, Viktor, nobody is better than you!ā
#Chihoko by Nomanono, Sintina, Teen, 3.1k Jealousy and drunk exhibitionism happens in Hasetsu before the āVictor and Friendsā ice exhibition.Victor ends up screaming naked from the top of a castle.
Remember how we all headcanonĀ the idea that Victor eventually will stumble upon Yuuriās huge stash of posters?
Iām pretty sure it already happened. Just not with posters. In the first episode, when Yuuri returns to Ice Castle to skate Stammi Vicino, if you look at the bottom left corner, youāll see a piece of striped cloth.
In episode 4, we are clearly shown what it is.Ā
Thatās right. Itās a bag of some sort (to hold a water bottle or his skate guards?). The haphazard stitching/outline of the cloth suggests that it was done by an amateur (maybe a gift from Yuuko or Yuuri made it himself?). It then also implies that this was an item gifted/owned by Yuuri for quite a while. It is an item that Yuuri treasures. Iām just taken aback by how bold it is. Victorās name is stitched right in the center. This bag is placed along with all of Yuuriās clothes and equipment out in the open. Victor wouldāve undoubtedly seen this cute creation that Yuuri never tried to hide.Ā
I can just imagine Victor picking it up and grinning like an idiot.Ā
Does anyone remember fanfiction from like 2001 to 2004 tho?
-wacky, highly out of character āsleepoversā with the villains of the series
-not bothering to research the culture the series originated from (we live in Japan but for some reason weāre celebrating a westernized version of Christmas?)
-sugar highs??? the entire cast has eaten sugar and now randomness ensues!!1!
-really surreal oneshots taking a completely illogical idea to the highest possible level played completely for laughs (re: maybe Harry was so good at flying because He Was A Broom All Along)
-user guides for characters (as if theyāre adoptable robots)
-disclaimer at the beginning of the story, end of the story,
used as page breaks in the middle of the story I DO NOT OWN THIS PLEASE
DONāT SUE IāM DIRT POOR
-authorās notes at the beginning of the story, end of
the story, used as page breaks in the middle of the story, LOL I WROTE
THIS AT ONE IN THE MORNING PLEASE REVIEW
-nutshell/condensed retellings of the series, again usually humorous
-AUs where everything except the main characterās names are completely different that have no real connections to the series (High School AUs are EVERYWHERE)
-The writerās favourite character isnāt dead and the rest of the cast questions it once and then never mentions it again
-the writer talking to the characters in script form before the story actually starts
āR/R! Donāt like, donāt read! Flames will be fed to (insert fandom reference here) XP XDā
ā¦I did most of these in 2002 oh my god.
And I remember seeing every single one of these lmao
– Evanescence songfic.
Canāt forget the Evanescence songfic.
My Immortal
Lemons.
fics where the characters somehow come across their book/movie/whatever, and make commentary on the whole thing (none of these fics were ever finished)
Lawful Good: lurked for a month before posting to consume all fan content in their area of interest, internalise tagging conventions, and learn what content is already well-represented and what is lacking. fills in gaps in the fandom oeuvre out of a sense of community responsibility. alerts people who were like “why isn’t there fic of this” that there is now fic of this and includes author’s notes acknowledging those people by name for inspiring said fic.
Neutral Good: writes fic in response to prompts or community discussion. beloved by those who follow and interact with them. potential ouroboros relationship with fanon, where they both contribute to the development of fanon conventions and perpetuate them.
Chaotic Good: “I know no one asked for this but the idea wouldn’t leave me alone so HERE, HAVE THIS THING THAT I POURED AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF MY LIFEFORCE INTO. FREE ME FROM THE GRIP OF THIS FEVERED MUSE”
Lawful Neutral: scrupulously researched, impeccably canon-compliant fic. author may go out of their way to mimic the canon narrative style as closely as possible. readers’ comments are likely to include “wow, this feels like it could have been an actual episode of !” high proportion of missing scenes, alternate POV scenes, and character interactions that should have been given screentime in canon but were tragically underutilised.
True Neutral: had an idea, wrote it, and posted it. may not be aware of the fandom zeitgeist or may simply not care. doing their own thing and feeling the fulfillment of an idea properly manifested. lower average hitcount than many other alignments due to lack of engagement with fandom or fanon and potential redundancy to already-existing fanwork. may be dabbling in a fandom they have no specific intention to revisit.
Chaotic Neutral: AUs, expies, self-inserts, reader-inserts, reader-directed/choose-your-own-adventure fic, crack, etc. We’re all mad here! Mad and having so much fun.
Lawful Evil: “I have no justification and no excuse, but enjoy this exhaustively-tagged, morally unconscionable character torture! I sure did :)”
Neutral Evil: fic would not have existed if not for the motivating power of spite and frustration with the fandom (or, in certain end-of-the-bellcurve cases, the source media, but in general spite/frustration toward the source media is common in any alignment). whatever other motivations there may be, the fic is an express Take That of greater or lesser subtlety. this author is so mad. why is everyone doing this wrong? WHY MUST THEY BE THE ONE TO RIGHT THIS WRONG? THEY’LL SHOW YOU WHAT THIS CONTENT SHOULD BE. THEY’LL SHOW YOU ALL!!!
Chaotic Evil: wants someone to suffer. is it the cause of their spite, whom they are using Take That fic to call out? is it their readers, whom they are trolling, whether with badfic or with a poisoned-apple plot that seems to be all the reader desires before it takes a horrible twist? is it the creator(s) of the source media? it doesn’t matter, as long as someone experiences regret as a result of the fic’s existence.
