Of course, there's also a big difference between a serious fic, and one written for laughs. In the case of the former, it's often better to adhere to the characters as they were created by Tsuzuki more strictly. When you're writing the later though, it's more of a parody and then it becomes less important, since the goal is to have a good laugh.

Taking Hayate as an example again, a serious fic would have her into designing the outfits for people, but would stop there, while a fic for laughs would have her go down the cosplay maniac routine full-drive.

WTF!!!!!!

That is SOOOO against our Code of Ethics. You must be thinking about Indiana Jones or about the 1700 and 1800's Archaeology...

So...no. But we do get sponsors from Organizations to PROTECT the Archaeological sites. If we did what you just said, we would no longer BE Archaeologists; we would become thieves...like Indiana Jones.

But it was a nice try.

So now I'm curious, how does an archaeologist earn money?

I had your response but I accidentally deleted it.

I would re-write it but I'm about to leave. I'm heading to Philadelphia for the American Anthropological Association Convention in a few hours so when I come back on Sunday, I'll PM you with my response.

Why do I suddenly want to ship Yuuno/Alavon?

Keroko · 2009-12-04, 13:07

Cause the entire thread is currently chanting "do it, do it, do it, do it, do it!" perhaps?

Personally, I always believe there is a limit to this. We are fanfiction writers, yes, but in that aspect we also are writers who write about a series and it's characters, so unless a changed personality is part of the plot ('what if' stories or stories where the characters go through events that justify the change) we should attempt to keep things recognizable. After all we are writing Nanoha fanfiction here, and if we suddenly start to switch characters' personalities for no good reasons, there comes a point where people think "... well, this is fun and all, but it's not Nanoha anymore."

you are right Keroko.

but i will tell you a little secret of me anyway i am doing a solo project in writing.

i am writing one i just finish writing chapter 3 which totally pages are 16 while chapter one and Two are 22 pages.

the story i am writing it's not about anime at all, but i do borrow few things; like Shizuma character from SP but with changes along with intellgent weapon that base on devices at Nanoha.

and yes i am writer who try to break the limit.

I've kinda covered Subaru in the first chapter (it's not a proper one, though), Hayate in the second one, and Shamal had her turn in the third one.

Heh, looks like I'll have a bit of fun with Teana in the fourth chapter.

* goes off to start reading up all the StrikerS nanos *

Anyway, I've been watching the BBC's infamous Top Gear series lately, and this was the plot bunny that sprang into existence as a result.

Spoiler for Top Gear intro spoof:

So, yeah, the presenters will be Hayate, Signum, and teenage!Vita, with Fate being The Stig. As for who will be who, any suggestions?

Unofficial page claim for another unlikely mix-up!

Not to mention the Nanoha Corner. Taking "flying off the track" to a whole new level.

So... Hayate = Jezza; Signum = Captain Slow; and Vita = Hamster?

Haha, nice. How is Fate gonna explain her way out of this one?

Some stylistic problems, though, mainly your lack of punctuation and your brief sentence structure. I've always valued content over presentation, though, so I'm personally not that bothered by it.

One thing though, the way you used "oh gawd" doesn't seem right at all. I mean, 'gawd' is net speak, isn't it? Shouldn't it be flat out "Oh God" or something similar?

On that note, when writing Nanoha fics, I find it quite hard not to stick in stuff like "Oh Christ!" or "My God!" I'm so used to using them in every day life, but I realise that we don't know if Catholicism exists on Mid (probably not). We know the main religion is the Saint Church, with the Saint Kaiser as the divine figure, but using "My Kaiser!" as an expletative doesn't sound right. Besides, I think the followers of the church are aware that the Saint Kaiser isn't an omnipotent diety, but a person who lived and ruled at one point.

"Oh Gawd" says to me a drawl. It's not really netspeak (you thinking omg?).

On the subject of using Christain-attached terms in Fantasy fiction... yeah, I dodge it too, though I often wonder what the Sanit Kaiser was a saint of...

Well, there is that. I can only hear young girls in middle america and anyone in Texas saying it in my head properly. Trying to make Yuuno say it in my head is good enough to break me (is it quitting time yet?).

"gawd" is a word I connect with.... I'm sorry to say this..... prissy stuck up people. Like the captain of the cheerleading squad who says "whateveeeer" "loooooser" and "oh my gawd that's so kyute!" Its a slang word, not net speak, but remember that all slang reflects on a character and adds to their personality.

I'll use Syn again since I've said it before. I gave her a slight country accent. Although it doesn't really reflect on her personality so much as to help identify with her. For example, starting a paragraph off with dialog that contains more than two people can be difficult because of the reader not knowing who is speaking until their name is mentioned. With Syn, I can choose my words and have the reader identify with her instantly because of the spoken words. For example, if Vivio and Syn said the same thing:
"What are you talking about?"
"What'cha talking about?"
Syn's words stand out because of her accent.

Accents aside, wording is very important so I try to stay away from things that don't reflect the personalities "gawd" being one of them. As for religoin, lets connect this to the real world. AKA the pope. know how much power and influence the guy has, how he runs things, ect. Then replace the pope with the Kaiser/Vivio. That's how I personally see her. She isn't a god, per see, but to the people's eyes she's just about as good as one. People would come to her for "salvation" and all that good religious stuff :3

So with "oh my god!" and "Christ!(I was frozen today!!)" reflecting to Vivio, I'm sure there is some term used, but figuring it out would take all of us pooling our thoughts together to find something useful.

Syn: Vivio, dammit!
Vivio: Hey! Don't take my name in vain! D:
Syn:What'cha gonna do? Punish me? *grins*
Vivio:Oh yeah! *grabs*
Syn:I've been a baaaad girl!
Nanoha:Can you two PLEASE not do that in the livingroom?
girls:Oh... sorry... forgot where we were.

edit:Anyone notice I've gotten better at was/were?

00-Raiser · 2009-12-04, 14:04

On accents, I rarely use them unless the english dub included them. Like, when I write Shizuru from My HiME, I have her saying darlin' and such because the dub gave her a southern accent (best part of that dub, imo). Where as with Hayate, I just write her worlds normally, since she didn't have any kind of accent in english.

It's all about the 'voices' I hear in my head. While I can hear Hayate's kansai accent in my head, I can't really put it into english words.

You can't hear the different dialects in Japanese? The reason Shizuru has a southern accent in the english dub is because she has an 'osaka' accent in Japanese. Same with Hayate, though I don't know if she does in english or not. Its basically the exact same thing, but since we speak English, we respond best to "southern accents"

though I live in the south and don't have an accent.

And now Nanoha knows. One wonders how she'll react to the news that her two best friends are apparently interested in each other. I look forward to it.

Er, I guess I didn't explain myself properly. I know Shizuru has a Kyoto accent in the japanese, so when I hear her japanese voice in my head she has the accent. Same with Hayate and her accent. However, when I hear their voices in english, Shizuru has a southern one, while Hayate has none (her voice was normal in the dub).

But the thing is, obviously, I'm writing fics in english and as such when I write the voices I hear, they're english and Shizuru has an accent while Hayate doesn't.

... Lord knows how she'd sound if I gave her a Newfie accent

I think the question is, why are you watching the dubs? :P At least they kept the names the same... I was expecting them to rename Nanoha "Nikki" and Fate "Stephine" or some crap like that. Yuuno would be George of course.

A lot of people expect stuff like this from dubs, but that mindset is very outdated. Yes, 4kids and Nelvana did change names for Tokyo Mew Mew and 'Cardcaptors' but that was for the sake of airing it on TV and making it more american kid friendly. Nanoha got picked up by Geneon, a company who has never heavily altered the source material before, so there was no reason to believe they'd change it. Then it fell to Funimation's hands, but that company has come a loooong way from the days of crappy DBZ dubs.

The only 'injustice' they kinda did to the series is casting rookies from Voice Acting Alliance rather than hiring seasoned professionals. But that's actually a great part of the dub, as there's no "Oh look, it's that voice again" reactions, and the rookies all did a great job.

Anyways, I like dubs and generally prefer watching them over the japanese version. So the english performances do influence how I write certain characters.

I called over as I ran towards Yuuno "I'm sorry I am late, I had to drop Vivio off at school and Nanoha was being Nanoha again." I sighed "No problem at all, I just got here myself hahaha" We both knew he was lying, but that made me feel a little better for some reason. "shall we?" "Sure" I handed him the tickets as we walked towards the entrance. ~~~"Command to Long Arch 1, they are headed your way"~~~ Shamal adjusted her hat and continued to stare at a old statue retrieved from a non-management planet. Her brown trench coat wrapped around her and pulled almost up to her hat. ~~~"Roger, targets are in sight"~~~ "So where should we start?" Yuuno asked me after we walked in and took a few moments to take in the beautiful scenery. "There are lots of rooms to go to and this place isn't even 1/2 completed yet." "Why don't we start with some place familiar? Like you know...the items we got from earth?" "It isn't much but sure we can start there." he started leading the way. "By the way, Fate" he looked over to me as we walked "why the sudden interest in Archaeology?" "Eh? I sorta jumped back a little "oh its...um...well I'm an enforcer right?" He nodded "Well there are some times that I might run into people smuggling things like the relics and such. It would be nice to...you know, know a little but about this stuff that way I can tell if they are ok to handle or if I should call in the teams." "I see..." he looked up scratching his cheek "that...would make sense I guess" he struggled to put 2 and 2 together "A-anyway!" I tried to break the silence between us "I am curious...what exactly is archaeology?" "Hahaha" he started "I thought you were going to be like Nanoha and Hayate and say it was the study of dead bugs, dinosaurs, and animal bones." he smirked a little at my reaction "They keep teasing me sometimes asking me where my whip and brown hat is at all the time." "They think you are Indiana Jones huh?" I couldn't resist "Yeah" we both laughed ~~~"Lightning 2 they will be there in 3..2..1.."~~~ "You seem to be getting along well, Testarossa" a voice called out in front of us as we entered the room "S-signum?" I couldn't hide my surprise "what are you doing here?" She was there in her ground forces uniform. "I was asked by the museum staff to provide security for today. I had nothing else to really do so I accepted." she said in her normal tone "What about you two?" she looked at us suspiciously "on a date?" "Eh? W-w-w-w-w-" "That's ridiculous Signum!" Yuuno answered when i couldn't "I am merely teaching Fate about all these things since she started to have an interest in them. I myself would naturally be here since I do work in the Infinite Library" The pink haired knight didn't seem the least bit convinced but "Alright just don't make too much noise or I will have to kick you out ok?" We both blushed at what she was inferring as we slowly made our way to the other rooms in silence. "I couldn't believe she was there" I murmured after we had attained distance from the room Signum was in "What a surprise huh?" Yuuno tried to laugh it off. ~~~"Lightning 2 to Command, it seems that they are on a date as suspected. However it seems like they still aren't as connected as you had hoped."~~~ ~~~"I see, thank you. Long Arch 2, try to get closer with the mic. We have to record every single bit of conversation. Stars 2 maintain your position, they should be arriving there soon depending on how fast they go through the other rooms." ~~~ ~~~"Roger!"~~~ all the units responded "So Yuuno" I started again "back to my previous question" "What was it?" "If you don't mind...would you tell me what Archaeology is?" "Sure" he smiled "it is the science that studies human cultures through the recovery, documentation, analysis, and interpretation of material culture and environmental data, including architecture, artifacts, biofacts, and landscapes. Archaeology aims to understand humankind through these humanistic endeavors." I couldn't help but laugh as Yuuno started to explain "That's cute" I said out loud "What?" he looked at me a little embarrassed "The way you brighten up whenever you talk about something related to all this. You really like this a lot don't you." ~~~"Long Arch 1 to Command, I have a meeting to go to in a few minutes, requesting permission to fall back."~~~ ~~~"sigh* Fine...Long Arch 1 you are relieved of duty for the time being"~~~* "The Scrya clan has always been like this, so yeah you can say its in the blood." "Please continue" I ushered as we continued walking from room to room "Often archaeology provides the only means to learn of the existence and behaviors of people of the past. Across the millennia many thousands of cultures and societies and billions of people have come and gone of which there is little or no written record or existing records are misrepresentative or incomplete." he continued "In addition to their scientific importance, archaeological remains sometimes have political or cultural significance to descendants of the people who produced them, monetary value to collectors, or simply strong aesthetic appeal. Many people identify archaeology with the recovery of such aesthetic, religious, political, or economic treasures rather than with the reconstruction of past societies." "Would make sense as to why people would want them. If they hold such value criminals would use them for their personal gain." "Unfortunately..." he sighed "Its alright" I whispered to him "I'll stop them" "Thanks, Fate" he smiled again as we turned into another room We walked through the middle and stopped in front of an old statue. I could see Yuuno's eyes examining the statue more than admiring what it was. I was going to say something about how his eyes never loses focus when-- "Hmm so the Enforcer and the Librarian, what an odd combination" a voice came from behind us "V-vita!" Yuuno called out as we both looked over our shoulder "Hey what a surprise! You doing guard duty along with Signum?" "Yeah I am." she stated "I'm interested though" she looked at me then back at him "since when did you two develop into that level of the relationship?" "What level?" I asked, then followed Vita's stare. "Oh!" I withdrew my hand and Yuuno did the same. "Hmmmm..." Vita looked at both of us Somehow during our tour, we ended up unconsciously holding hands. I mean its not like I really didn't notice it since we were sometimes pulling each other to go to a certain item and such...but just somehow it never registered in either one of our brains that it would end up being interpreted this way. "A-anyway!" I looked at my watch "We have to go..." I panicked "Vivio is going to be out of school soon and I have to go pick her up." I started heading towards the door when I ran into something "Ow!" a voice called "I'm so sorry I...Rein?!" I looked down at the floating girl "Um...hi Fate!" she waved "Sorry I am doing my rounds." she held her nose "I'm so sorry, but we have to go." I motioned to Yuuno who got my message and started moving "See you guys at work!" we disappeared into the crowd ~~~"Command to all units. That's enough for today. We didnt get the data we wanted, but we got enough. Fate-chan should be willing to spill the beans soon."~~~ The Wolkenritter sighed as one * * * * * * * * * * "Hey Vivio!" I called as we picked up the girl from the school "Fate-mama!" she called as she ran over to us "Hello Vivio" Yuuno called "Uncle Yuuno!" she hugged him "Alright lets go home" * * * * * * * * * * "I'm so sorry about today" I breathed as I collapsed on the couch "Sorry about what?" he asked "I made a scene back in the museum" I blushed a little "I shouldn't have done that." "Its ok" he stated "I bet they were just making fun of us since they were on boring guard duty." "Yeah" I laughed "Mama!" Vivio called as she ran up to us "can I get a little ice cream please?" "Alright" I patted her head "just don't tell Nanoha-mama I let you have some before dinner ok?" "Ok!" she nodded and ran into the kitchen. "Sweet girl" he noted "Yeah" I smiled "shes nice" "Hey isn't that the old photo albums?" he pulled the book towards us "Vivio was asking all kinds of questions and everything" I leaned in closer to have a better look "Those were the fun times" he noted as he pointed to a picture" "Oh yeah I remember that day. Hayate got so mad that we didn't involve her in the planning of Nanoha's birthday party hahaha" "Oh gawd she looked like she was going to blast us all when she found out all the preparations were made" he turned to me "Yeah it was like--" I turned to face him and out lips touched unintentionally "...!" We both looked at each other, frozen to our positions with our lips still touching. It was...a soft and warm feeling...it...its hard to describe. I could tell neither one of us were breathing as that would have triggered us to separate. After a few moments my body decided that if finally needed air. I gasped and turned away quickly blushing to my ears. Yuuno did the same and looked down at the ground "I'm sorry!" he said "T-th-that was an accident" I didn't respond for a few moments, my mind still registering everything that just happened. Unfortunately...my senses overrode my mental reasoning and I found myself saying something clearly unfitting for the situation "...again..." I whispered "Eh?!" he turned to me surprised. "...Again..." I repeated a little louder turning to him "...please?" Yuuno must have also lost all sorts of reasoning since he leaned in closer to seal the gap instead of doing the right thing and pulling back. We connected once again and parted, connected again and slowly started to get more and more into it. After a few more moments Yuuno's watch beeped, shaking us out of our trans. "I-I-I should go" he stated "Y-yeah...." I agreed "I'll see you tomorrow ok?" "Good night, Fate" * * * * * * * * * * "I'm home!" Nanoha called as she entered the door "Mama!" Vivio ran over to her and got a hug "How was your day Vivio?" she asked and gived the kid a kiss on the cheek. "Good" she said as she was put down. "Welcome home" I greeted from the hallway "Nanoha-mama?" Vivio called "Why do people kiss?" "Its a sign to show that people love each other Vivio" she responded "Thats right" I added "we kiss you since we love you so much." "But you only kiss me on the cheek" she pouted "Oh Vivio" Nanoha patted her head "Kissing on the lips is just for adults. I kiss you on the cheek but it doesn't mean that I love you less." "Oh, I see" Vivio crossed her arms and started thinking hard on the situation. "What made you start talking about kissing anyway?" Nanoha led her to the living room Vivio paused for a moment then looked at me before turning back to Nanoha and stating "Because I saw Fate-mama and Uncle Yuuno kissing on the lips earlier today."
