The Genderbending of Haruhi Suzumiya [Spoilers Aplenty]

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

Suuki, I'm not meaning to be rude with this, but that would make a lot more sense in the Genderbending Images thread.

Anyway, pardon me while I try and get the thought of Haruki sounding like dub!Edward Elric out of my head.

Awesome, but I didn't even know that part four and five were done, too. I only heard the first three. Anyone know the links to four and five are?

Post #14283. All chaptes in one.

You can find it in the archive.

However, it is true the first post is not updated...

[ShinyaKyoto]

You can also find it as one link:

Volume 1:
[Prologue-Chapter 5]

[Jonbob0008]

I appreciate it guys. The first post has never been updated, so I never knew that it was still going. I'm happy about it, though, as I think the voice actress for Kyonko is doing an awesome job!

It also fits in neatly with anything Henry Jenkins says about creative audiences.

Y'all need to tell me things that need to be added to the first post if/when it needs updating.

I thought the same thing with this new one I just mix:

What's funny that Haruki's VA did play Edward in my FMA radioplay lol

Anyways, besides that, i have chapter 7 already written yet haven't given it to my VAs, only Koizumi's VA that is.

I remember listening to the fandub to the Genderbending series, and I liked it a lot. I was wondering of any of you knew when the next update on it was due (It's been a while since it updated).

I hardly check this topic so I never noticed this post you did. But at least you got the new chapters and saw the previews for chapter 6.

Seems like in closed space, Haruki is more aggressive than Haruhi (Haruhi's not supposed to lose to Kyon...)

Spoiler for September the Fifth, Day 4, Interlude 08: Thunder Rumbling:

Thunder Rumbling


"The scene is a military office, kept meticulously clean and ordered. A nameplate on the desk reads /“ARAKAWA,/” in English."

"Arakawa stumbled into the office, pulled out a chair, and collapsed face-first onto her desk. The impact was such that the bun her long grey hair was wrapped in nearly came loose."

"Satou Mori, his arms crossed over his chest and looking for all the world like nothing was wrong, entered after her, and cooly sat down in a chair in the corner, reserved for visitors."

"Arakawa gave him a disgruntled look."

"/“Mori, exactly how do you do that?/” "

"/“Do what?/” "

"Satou Mori didn’t seem to notice what was odd in this situation. He never did."

"/“I spent the past two hours yelling at troops and organizing plans of attack without a minute’s rest, which left me tired as a bear in late autumn. You spent the last two hours flying around as a ball of cold fire, destroying red giants inside an alternate reality, and you seem perfectly rested. My question was about how you do that./” "

"Satou Mori opened his mouth to answer."

"/“Don’t you dare say ‘love’./” "

"/“Mental discipline. We may be called out at any time if Closed Space forms over the city again./” "

"Arakawa angled her head to look at the desk again. "

"/“Please don’t remind me about that. In all my years working here, I’ve never seen the Agency in such a state of chaos./” "

"Satou Mori pulled a plastic tube, the kind one keeps camera film in, out of a pocket of his suit."

"/“Well, it is to be expected. Closed Space simply does not form at this rate. Three occurrences within two hours is unheard of./” "

"Opening the tube, he pulled a cigarette out of it and stuck it in his mouth, then began to fumble around in his pockets for a lighter."

"/“And it’s all because of love./” "

"A muffled sigh could be heard from the direction of the desk. Satou Mori allowed himself a smile as he pulled out a very old and very tarnished lighter."

"/“Although we must wonder about the involvement of love, given the state of the Avatars inside… before we lost contact with the children, they were simply sitting there, inert. After the lightning and thunder began, they started destroying things at a faster rate than ever before. It was most certainly not a reaction I would associate with… love./” "

"Thunder rumbled, as though to punctuate his point. Arakawa continued to say nothing."

"/“Also! Although there has never been weather in Closed Space up until now, it was raining the entire time I was in there earlier. This might have something to do with the destruction of Headquarters, as well. Everything we’ve ever known is beginning to fall apart…/” "

"With a little difficulty, given its age, Satou Mori managed to light the lighter. There was still no response from Arakawa."

"/“By the way, you need not worry about the children in the other world. Although we were unable to give them detailed instructions before the connection was severed, as long as they have one another, they will be fine./” "

"…And was about to do the same to his cigarette, but…"

"/“Mori./” "

"/“Hmm? What is it?/” "

"/“Go outside, and look at the sign posted on my door./” "

"/“The one that says ‘No Smoking?'/” "

"Arakawa’s muffled sigh was interrupted by a knock on that very same door."

"/“Come in, please./” "

"A placative smile entered the room, followed by the form of Emori Kimidori. Arakawa immediately sat up straight in her chair, trying to affect an aura of dignity that her loosened hair did not support."

"/“Kimidori-kun? Didn’t you go home already?/” "

"The young TFEI bowed."

"/“I’m sorry, but I decided to stay and offer what support I could. My data manipulation can be used to heal minor injuries and increase defensive abilities, although it doesn’t have the ability to blast your ‘Avatars’ with laser beams like some of your men seemed to be convinced it can./” "

"Arakawa seemed slightly taken aback, but she nodded."

"/“Well, we do need all the help we can get in this crisis… would you like to sit down? I need to ask you some questions before I can be sure that we can use you… How much do you know about—/” "

"Emori Kimidori raised a hand."

"/“Wait, please. There was another reason I came here, to your office. I found it crawling on the road, and I thought it would be of interest to you./” "

"He stepped back to allow the reason behind him to enter the room."

"A bloody mess stumbled through the door and fell to the floor of Arakawa’s office with a noise like overcooked spaghetti falling to the floor after being dropped by a housewife who had discovered one of her children had put a worm in it."

"Mitsuuru Asahina was, miraculously, still alive."


"The scene is a sick bay. The giant wad of bandages with brown hair sitting up in one bed, surrounded by three people, is Mitsuuru Asahina, who should, given the state of the HQ Building, should be crushed under a pile of rubble."

"The nurse who examined him couldn’t understand it. Aside from suffering from cuts all over his body, Mitsuuru Asahina had no internal injuries whatsoever. No broken bones, squashed organs, or burst muscles at all. Aside from his lungs and heart being almost completely deteriorated, he was perfectly fine, internally, and there was no way falling debris could cause anything like that."

"Arakawa smiled wryly."

"/“Congratulations. You’re truly a medical miracle./” "

"Kimidori’s affable smile was faltering slightly."

"/“I wasn’t aware you had developed self-repair technology…/” "

"The wad of bandages coughed up a few words."

"/“We haven’t… this is just my luck striking again… keeping me alive, a person who should be dead…./” "

"/“You could certainly say that again./” "

"Satou Mori was reviewing Mitsuuru Asahina’s medical report."

"/“How are you still alive with this kind of heart condition? And what caused something as dire as this? I’m very curious now./” "

"/“Entropy./” "

"Arakawa looked confused. (No mean feat.)"

"/“Entropy? How could entropy destroy heart and lung tissue?/” "

"A coughed-out response."

"/“My younger self no longer exists on this time plane. The waves of paradox cross time planes, eventually circling back here, and inevitably destroy me from the inside out. I’m resisting it with all my might./” "

"Kimidori’s smile continued to falter."

"/“That should be impossible. This is all a predetermined event, yes? How are you being destroyed with paradoxes when the future is set in stone?/” "

"If the wad of bandages wasn’t in so much pain, it would have grinned. (And it tried anyway.)"

"/“You… you remind me of someone… heh, heh haaaaackkkk… well, let me put it like this. I can no longer return home to my future. What does it mean for a world when it no longer has a future, I wonder?/” "

"/“You’re not suggesting…!/” "

"/“I’m afraid that he is. But he’s wrong. I synchronized a month ahead this morning. Everyone is going to be fine. The world is not going to end./” "

"Arakawa relaxed again. But she wasn’t able to do that for long."

"/“Hah… hah… hah… hack. So, the aliens are in denial, are they?/” "

"/“I’m most certainly not in denial./” "

"/“The world is going to end, and there’s nothing we can do about it./” "

"/“Wrong./” "

"Satou Mori put down the report, which he had been reading upside-down."

"/“If all three factions are here… there must be something we can do. We must pool our technology, our efforts, together. This will all end if Haruki Suzumiya has his love returned to him, and I believe with a combination of all our abilities, we may be able to do it./” "

"/“Mori, where exactly did this…?/” "

"/“I’d certainly be up for that, yes. It would certainly square with my knowledge that everyone is going to be just fine in one month./” "

"/“And what about you, man from the future? What do you say?/” "

"Mitsuuru Asahina, the wad of bandages, began to laugh even harder. (He was probably going to have a heart attack at this rate, but perhaps that was his intention.)"

"/“Haaaaaaaackkkkkk… No. I refuse to help./” "

"/“……Why, exactly? Don’t forget that I can order them to just let you bleed to death./” "

"/“Oh please, I’d welcome it. No, I refuse to help because, for the month of September of this year, I only remember going to school and being forced into weird costumes. Nothing like this ever happened./” "

"/“Where is this go—/” "

"/“So even if you did bring them back, it doesn’t benefit me in any way. The unchangeable future will have been changed, and I will cease to exist. And if I’m going to die anyway… I feel like I might as well take everyone with me, riiiiiiight?/” "

"The laugh of an insane man, pushed too far by circumstance and change, echoed throughout the sick bay, turning heads. The three people around him looked upon him with disgust."

"Thunder rumbled, and lighting flashed outside."

"Thunder rumbled and then the lightning flashed. That’s important."

"The lights flickered, and the room went completely dark."

Hmm... renewal of one of my previous theories.

Are we really doing this entire scene without any way to identify the speaker? That'll be interesting...

Anyways... yeah, I should probably be asleep or something instead of posting edits, but whatever. After all, it's not really like I've been able to keep a rational sleeping schedule anyways. Or do my arabic homework and go to class and whatnot... Spore is much more fun anyways. Also, what's up with Kaisos? Did he get banned or something? Is this going to spread to the rest of us working/editing the Visual Novel? Are the mods gunning for editors next?

Sleep-deprivation paranoia is fun.

That post kinda hurt my eyes, you know. You're an amusing one...

An interesting thought.

I found this forum entirely by accident via this topic. Anyway, the entire reason I'm posting is to ask exactly what has been covered during the thousand and fifty three pages (I've read the first ten, trying to read more seems like a lot of effort). I'm not adverse to trying to read through them all but it's going to take a long time. So, I'm wondering what stage this entire project is at (and the final decisions about characters and things).

I think I'm right in guessing the first book has been rewritten, since I read it this evening. If it hasn't, I'm slightly confused...

Oh, and I think being female suits Kyon more. Certainly makes him look better.

Yes, it certainly does make him look better. Also, in response to your question, we are currently in the development of a Visual Novel.

Yes but you haven't answered my other question. What exactly has been done so far? I think I know but I just want to check.

I'm not that bothered about knowing what's been decided, though.

So many links in the story thing. That's slightly scary...

Such a pity the rewriting thing has been abandoned. Ah well, what's been decided has been decided and there's not as if I can do anything about that. Short of continuing myself, which is something I doubt I'd be any good at.

Hi. Be welcome.

First of all, you should read the FAQ, it should give you a good idea of waht is going on.

About your question, there is 2 projects hosted in this thread: The Rewrite Project and the Crossroads Project (A.K.A. Tsuji Project).

The Rewrite Project is the main one, you can see the archive here (along with many fanfics). All the first book was rewriten and also Vol.2 prolgue and part of Vol.3 first chapter. It is on hiatus right now, as the official writer, Kaisos Erranon is working in the new project. If I am not mistake, someone else have declared his intent to continue. I don't know what happened to him, tough.

The Crossroads Project (archive here) is the active one right now. It is a Date Sim Doujin based on the idea of the two universes (the main one and the genderbend one) meeting. Most of the first week/demo was already writen, but there was still few images, sounds and musics. Anyway who can help in these matter is welcome (also writers for "fluff" and the girl routes).

About the characters, most regard the first months in story was pretty much decided. The changes, as I can remember from memory alone, includes (in relation to the canon counterpart): Kyonko beng more friendly to Itsuko, being less found to Haruki, seeing Mitsuuru as a kind week 'brother'(but not romance interest). Haruki is a bit more of a jerkass (tough it might be more of perception, as his is a guy now) and less of a tsundere. Mitsuuru is considerable more annoying when Haruki is not nearby, and tries to be more pro-active (emphasis in "try"). Yuuki is pretty much the same and Itsuko is not much different either.

Everything past Sighs is up to decision, tough, as we haven't reached on it yet. (the Project Crossroads is set in September, between Endless Eight and Sighs). Aebliss' Setsubun fanfic might give an idea. It is not "canon" however.

Beside taht, good luck reading all the thread, you will need. I am sure no one expect you to read everything. Most is just random chitchat, anyway.

I would recommend, for a almost complete understandment, you to read the first pages, stoping when you feel the topic has got boring/useless. Then read the posts linked on the FAQ and the discussion taht it follow (and precede). And read the discussion that follow the rewrites (even the ones tha aren't canon). The same for each flowchart/outline/scenes if the Crossroads Project.

Even then, you still don't read everything I just listed. As long you don't be arrogant and try to impose your decisions it is ok. Questions are fine, as long as they aren't answered in the FAQ. Questioning why some decisions were made can be troublesome. Some were decided after a massive amount of discussion and flamewar, no one want to have to pass through it again. If you really, really want to know, I suppose you could pm someone. I can not guarantee any one but me wil reply, tough (and I also haven't been there from the very begining, so I don't know everything, sadly).

Well, be welcome again. I hope see you posting soon. Just for curiosity, where did you have knonw about that thread?

PP:
Oh, I was ninjed while writing that overly long post. I hope it is still useful, tough.

[Silencian]

Ironically, I found and read the FAQ before you wrote that post.

I guess I'll just write and read random fanfics to keep myself occupied until something is completed (I don't really like reading things before they're completed, I hate stopping partway). Oh and I'm leaving for tonight. Bye.
