Welcome to the Sword Art Online FanFiction Discussion thread.
This thread is meant for Sword Art Online fanfiction and its discussion. Fanfiction works can be either posted in this thread or in the Fan Creations Forum and linked to in this thread. You may also link to Fanfiction works posted on other sites and discuss it here. General rules of our forum still apply:
Please respect the authors, fanfictions are written in their free time, they have have no gain and owe you nothing; if they like a particular character and/or a particular pattern for their story, it's a personal choice and can't be blamed. In general, you are free to post constructive criticisms but not insults which (as in any other part of the forums) won't be tolerated. Remember that writers post here to get help and not to get troubles. Thanks and have fun :) |
Ok, this is just to kick off discussion, since this thread might languish otherwise, for the lack of ideas floating around.
I've got two plot bunnies running in my head right now, both revolving around possible crossovers. The first is a more serious consideration, but one probably quite fit for Kirito, considering that he's one of the most competent LN protagonist out there. It's a Muv Luv crossover, which I will put in spoiler tags, for those who haven't yet spoiled themselves of Muv Luv. Spoiler for Spoilers for Muv Luv:
This happens some years after ALO - perhaps around the time where Acclitization would have happened instead. I wonder how much more different the Muv Luv plot would be if Kirito and Asuna were the main couples. The second crossover idea is a potentially more disturbing one, also set at the same time. A Lolipop Chainsaw Crossover. Asuna wakes up in Julia Scarlet's body, in a VR Version of the Lollipop Chainsaw game. Kirito wakes up in Nick's body. Can Kirito avoid Zombification? How would both of them react to Sensei? If Kirito is zombified, what if the game hijacks Asuna's body, and forces her avatar to behead Kirito and put him in the same position as Nick was for the entire game? What would both of them think of the entire game? This is partly inspired by the costumes add ons for Lollipop Chainsaw, where avatars from other animes like Kore Wa Zombie or High School of the Dead replaced the default avatar. Edit: My bad about mixing the names up. One error seemed to have led to a huge chain of errors. |
Excalibur
I created this account for the very purpose of showing off my fan fiction. But I love SAO so I might as well stick around.
My story can be found HERE Alternatively if you don't want to use a link and want another method of reaching the story, simply: - google search 'sword art online fan fiction' - enter fan fiction site - select story called 'Excalibur' by 'Nanospeed' A brief sample of the story: Sword Art Online. It was the first virtual reality game to be created. Technology has made it possible to fully immerse a person's consciousness in a brand new world. Its realism has reached the point where players are unable to tell the difference between reality and fantasy. A fantasy where a castle floated in an endless sky. Its size was immeasurable, the first floor alone rivalled the size of a country with many cities, forests, lakes and mountains. It was just one realm of the one hundred in existence. It was a place where wielding mystical weapons, performing athletic feats beyond human limits and fighting legendary monsters were only some of the things a player can do. In fact, everything that was possible in the real world was also possible in this one. Thanks for checking it out! Please support my fan fiction by sharing with your friends and possibly leaving a review (on the fan fiction site). Edit: New chapter coming out in a few hours from now. |
I was just thinking how A Raildex/SAO/AW crossover could work.
They could make it to that the NeverGear and the HUD they all carry around were both developed in Academy City (future tech and all that), then released it to the wider world. It's pretty much as easy as that. Also, the Espers could use their abilities in game through either interference in the games design from the outside or the fact that their abilities are calculated in their brains in the first place. |
It's a pity the timelines don't quite merge, because a crossover between SAO and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is just begging to be made.
"Togusa. Why does Kayaba sound like you?" "...Major, I honestly have no idea." "Major, there's no way Togusa coulda pulled any of this off. He isn't a Wizard-class hacker like you, afterall." "Thanks a lot, Ishikawa." That said, the verses are just completely explicitly different - cyberbrains were already in wide usage in the early 2020s in GitS, and the world of SAO is very close to ours, so it's a fun idea, but one that can't really progress further. |
Well it doesn't mean you can't take some of the concepts from GitS episodes and merged them into the SAO universe.
|
True, especially since Public Security does have a team assigned to monitoring the SAO case, which later branches out into monitoring VRMMOs.

This app is brilliant fanfic fuel for crossovers
http://en.shindanmaker.com/247584 I've fed a variety of names from various animes to see how they'd fare, as inspiration for a crossover. Now, some are nonsensical, such as Quote:

Especially after: Quote:
There's a potential rich gold mine of crossover inspiration here. P.s: Here's to hoping this thread takes off. Part of the reason why the Nanoha fanfic thread is so popular is because alot of fanfics are put up there, sometimes even before being put up on FF.net. |
Whoa. That sounds good. Yui, from silly airhead to grownup survivor after the death of her sister.

To put things into perspective, i wrote a short and posted it into FFT where Fate killed Nanoha, and was in the process of skinning her to wear her skin and be with her forever. The most common reaction was that i had written a touching loving story. :eyebrow: That said there are SOME diamonds in the rough. Just that they're hard to find. |

Though I'm wondering how such a plot would go. Perhaps Yui joins Kirito's harem? Though of course, Asuna is the lead girl. In-fact, Asuna might have rescued Yui after Yui's suicidal funk, which might make for an interesting dynamics. Indeed, perhaps Yui and Kirito's relationship remains very platonic, connected through Asuna. Even then, this fic could well extend way beyond the Aincrad arc. An Ui like, mature and reliable character who has a childishly silly side in private, that one have to dig out hard. The zeroeth phase is the loyalty and strength of relationships between siblings, and how Ui keeps things together for both of them in the aftermath of being trapped in Aincrad. After the initial shock, comes the lull, and both of them replicate their roles back in the real world in Aincrad. The interesting thing, I think is that K-on never forced Yui to make difficult decisions, or to start questioning herself. We've not seen Yui in a life or death situation, so I wonder whether being put in one on a daily basis would affect Yui's airheadedness, if Ui was around to shelter her. I think Ui would go very far to keep up Yui's ditzy, reliant nature, unfortunately. However, that might be tricky to pull off. Still, I'd expect there'd be gradual shifts, though Yui's internal monologues might be quite hard to explore, since K-on doesn't give too much insight into why Yui is such an airhead (beyond Moe Fanservice). One way of course, is to skip towards the end of the nine months, but show traces that Yui does comprehend, a little about how serious the situation is. The first phase then will be deconstruction on why being a Ditzy Airhead in Aincrad is a bad idea, and how it eventually get's her sister killed. The second phase is that of grief and coping, where Yui adopts her sister's mannerisms while privately wrestling with her guilt. The third phase is reconstruction, where after Aincrad, Yui finds a means of reconcilliating between her old, silly self, and the Ui-like persona she constructed to cope with the loss of her sister. |

Ahem. A little off-topic. But the interesting thing about SAO is the kinds of character development one can squeeze from a character when you put him or her in the death game scenario of SAO. I'd say the strongest crossovers would be the ones that take, say a fairly immature (but not stupid) character from a Slice of Life or lighter genre, and make him or her survive the death game. |
Akihisa Yoshi is stuck in SAO. Level: 57. Dies 1 hour in due to a fried brain. http://en.shindanmaker.com/247584
I lol-ed. |
Level 57 in one hour!? Was Akihisa secretly a Saiyan? :eyespin:
A fitting end, though. :heh: |

Another interesting plot bunny came to me.
What if Asuna's Brother instead was the one trapped in the world of Sword Art Online? And what if Kirito was a rare female gamer instead, with Kazuto's personality and intellect and reflexes, but genderbent? |

A male version of Asuna, so he'd be a white knight of sorts.. What if he was a silver knight instead? *nudge nudge* :D |
Quote:
The problem is, Asuna's brother might not suicidal - so Aria plays out differently. Furthermore, I suspect Kiriko may adopt a male avatar at the beginning- so that opening scene with Klein might be very interesting- since, well, Kiriko's a girl, in a girl starved prison full of men. I wonder, will Kiriko solo? Or perhaps Asuna's brother insists he tags along with Kiriko after Aria- perhaps after Kiriko successfully saved his life thrice in a single day, or perhaps both save each others life once each during Aria. Once when Kiriko got mauled by the boss, and Asuna's brother rallied everyone. Once in the dungeon, when Asuna's brother accidentally pulled too many mobs to handle, and Kiriko bailed him out. Also, I'm thinking of how to work the KoB in. Still, there's some disturbing... implications of underaged relationships, Spoiler for Chapter 16.5:
Spoiler for SAO Ending:
Actually, is Fanfiction discussion a Free Fire zone? It's very hard to discuss fanfiction, especially with fiction implicating future events. Spoiler for Other arcs:

So much fanfic potential here, I'm a marathoner so it'll be a while but once I get around to watching this I'll get on with the fics right away.

There are Four scenarios I've come up for a "want of a Nail" SAO Fanfic ideas, where Kirito makes different choices throughout the Aincrad arc.

Well, no matter what, Furinkazan would find themselves on the frontlines - it's noted that they're part of the Clearing Group, the loose association of guilds and solo players dedicated to clearing the game. And they got there without Kirito.
It's also noteworthy that Funrinkazan have taken zero casualties, despite fighting on the front lines, something even KoB can't boast about. |

Which is why I think a Want for a Nail fic where Kirito joins Furinkazan may be very interesting, because of the HUGE amount of butterflies - I think 10 chapters can be pumped out even before Aria. For better? Or for worse? I guess it depends on the author, but I'd dare say that Kirito would have likely ran into Asuna, since it was implied that Asuna was camping for quite a few days on the first floor labyrinth. Certainly, Furinkazan wouldn't affect his final level overall, nor his chances of survival early on. Spoiler for Spoiler for First Day and RNR:
Did Furinkazan acquired any new members in Aincrad? Indeed, I really wonder: Spoiler for RNR and Blackswordsman:

I don't think they'd be clearer level members Klein would have enough sense to see that as not such a good idea. |

By the time we get to December 2023, I suspect Kirito's level would either be on par, or even slightly higher. At the same time, a certain degree of Leeway might be given for the Asuna issue too. Spoiler for Aincrad Arc, Just In Case:

Perhaps because of Guild Cohesiveness? Spoiler for RNR Spoilers:

As for Sachi and Scilica... Furinkazan wouldn't be keen on inouto on the frontlines. Asuna gets a pass because she's not an imouto ;p |

After watching a bunch of videos and Let's Play of Magicka, a rather interesting game where people tend to kill each other accidentally in Co-op mod, I was wondering how it would be like if a 3D VR Version of Magicka (or a sequel of that game) was released.
Spoiler for Post-Aincrad:
Just look at this video, for example: Yet another plot bunny- seriously, VR Variants of modern games are a fertile source of plot bunnies for the SAO Universe. |

Jim Butcher, writer of the Codex Alera and Dresden Files series, has stated that he uses the Dresden Files wiki to keep his head straight on what is and isn't canon, as being the author everything kinda runs together after a while and he can't remember what actually got written and what got shelved. Ditto for the writing team of Stargate SG-1 :heh: Quote:

Portal VII Released for AmuSphere in 2025. 20 million copies sold on the opening day. Magicka IV Released for AmuSphere in 2026. 17.2 million Copies sold on the Opening Day. The Elder Scrolls XII released for AmuSphere later in 2026. 18.3 million copies sold, until reviews scathingly damned the game for it's obsolete UI and lack of anything new. Another Call of Duty game released for AmuSphere in 2024. Tanked because it can't beat GGO. Sim City VIII released for AmuSphere in 2027. Unlike it's Nervegear disaster, this game is highly lauded. :D But seriously, a future Magicka game where Kirito and his friends play might be a very fun one shot involving blowing each other up in creative ways. |
Here first on the on AnimeSuki forums: SPARTAN 119's SAO Fanfic:
Sword Art Online: From the Outside I mentioned this in the general discussion before this board came out. This is basically the story of what happens in the real world while the events of SAO play out. Including news broadcasts on the latest developments in the Sword Art Online crisis as well as accounts of police specialists including a computer expert and a bomb disposal officer both tasked with finding ways to disarm a confiscated Nerve Gear Unit (i.e. taken off the store shelves before the device was sold), the computer expert trying to hack into software and the EOD expert trying disarm it physically without triggering the microwave, as well as various officers involved in raids on various places Akihiko is suspected to be hiding. May contain some AU later. Anyway, without further ado, the first chapter of Sword Art Online: From the Outside: Spoiler for Fic in spoiler box, Saving space.:
|
Damn it relentless, its a fanfic thread! Spoilers should be allowed here! Or else how are we going to do fact-checks?! :frustrated:
SPARTAN I'm enjoying the concept quite a bit, keep it coming! :D |
|
Interesting. But how did Sachi got revived within 10 seconds, from outside the trapped room?

Spoiler for Fic Draft:
Constructive criticism only please. Also, opinions on Shinichiro's weapon, In the initial draft above, I have him purchase a hunting rifle (contrary to popular belief, you can purchase a hunting rifle or shotgun in Japan, at least according to Wikipedia). I figured him using a katana or something would be to cliche. So, anyway, I was also think perhaps him either purchasing from an illegal arms dealer, perhaps making some comment about suddenly there being significant illegal arms sales in Japan, all for the same reason: "Kill Kayaba Akihiko". Or, alternatively, according to an interview with the creator Highschool of the Dead, he owns a crossbow, noting that there are no crossbow restrictions in Japan. Also, I was thinking of having him purchase several knives and hatchet, as well as make some pipe bombs with online instructions, and perhaps having him as something of a computer geek like his sister, and manage to hack into police and Argus corporation databases in search of Akihiko. Opinions on which option I should choose for the weapon? |
I've been hearing about this side story the author wrote about Lisbeth and Kirito (contains some +18). But ive found nothing on the web, can someone verify this for me and if possible where I can find it?
