My Opinions
I got a hard time thinking of what Haruki looks like. I'll definitely see what Yuuki gonna be No problems with Kyonko and Itsuki Mikuru trap character? Works fine It really bothers me a lot about the Comp. club members... Hmm Taniguchi would be like Mayumi Thyme-like character I dunno the rest....

I don't think we really need to change the situations. A giant butterfly doesn't strike me as menacing as a huge cricket. I think what we're going after is the changed reactions of everyone to the same situations. Although we'll have to change some of the character situations to fit the gender swaps. Like with male Suzumiya trying to impart manliness to shota Asahina. Stuff like that. You have been appointed to the position of image hunter.

Spoiler for Asahina Mitsuru joins the SOS Brigade:
Names are easily changeable with a search-and-replace. I just hammered this out on a whim, because Inspiration Cannot Wait. EDIT: Changed an two inappropriate "her" to "him". This is a lot harder than I thought. EDIT: Changed "Minoru" to "Mitsuru" based on popular vote. Last edited by dkellis; 2008-03-07 at 04:33. |

Especially seeing as how Inspiration Cannot Wait. That is something I can understand very well.

I'm a little shocked. The genderswitching... in a few areas, it actually seems to make the anime work BETTER. And I have yet to see any real snags anybody's hitting.
Do you think we might catch the attention of somebody important? Aparently there's a fandom in Korea... This is getting pretty big. |

Well... there are some scenes that might seem a little too overboard due to the gender-swap, like Haruhi dragging Kyon by the collar through a hallway, or Yuki round-kneeing Kyon inside Asakura's world.
And then there is the issue of the bunny-suits... keep them (for maximum mind-breaking hilarity), or find a masculine equivalent? Neo-Haruhi: "I'm secure enough in my masculinity to wear these bunny-suits!" Neo-Kyon: *clawing eyes out* Also... there is one scene in Vol.02 that will lose a lot of its impact due to the gender switch, as the idea of a girl psychically hitting a boy is not as dramatic as a boy beating on a girl. Cheers.

Kaisos recommended Speedos as a replacement for bunny suits. I still have no comment there. And which scene in volume 2 are you talking about? Kanpai.

A strip on that concert was funny. Haruki wore the bunny suit for the concert instead of speedo.
(since I cannot reconcile Haruki nor Asakura in my mind, I refuse to mentally think of the two normally.)

Possibly they'll dress up as the Playgirl equivalent of the Playboy Bunny. That, or they'll just go around with the Exposed Pecs thing.
Anyway, currently I'm actually kind of stuck on a certain scene. Or, to be more precise, a certain scene which the anime completely skipped over, since it didn't matter that much. It's the one where Kyon meets Yuki at the park, Yuki takes them to her apartment, gives Kyon the infodump, and the Kyon goes home. Simple, right? Except that if you do the genderswap, Kyonko meets Yuuki at the park, Yuuki takes her to his apartment (the comedy of which was already featured in an earlier 4-koma), Yuuki infodumps, and now Kyonko has to go home alone in the late night darkness. While the actual danger in reality may or may not be exaggerated, this is sometimes crudely known as "asking for it". I'm not sure if Yuuki will be versed enough in gentlemanly behaviour to escort Kyonko home (to the astonishment of Kyonko no Otouto, perhaps). Another option would be for Koizumi to mysteriously arrive to pick her up, which would require a bit of shuffling around of events. EDIT TO ADD: Quote:
Compare nightmare-inducement: Ryou Asakura advancing on Kyonko with a dagger, or Ryou Asakura advancing on Kyonko with nothing but his bare hands, ready to strangle her... or worse. |

On the other hand... At that state of vunerability, if the bastard's holding a knife, you know what's going to happen. You're getting shanked. Bare hands though, makes it a question of how exactly he's going to do it. But then, knives are efficiant (My spelling sucks people, if that's wrong), and that's why I think either gender of Ryou would stick with it. Slit her throat, and leave. No questions asked, and plenty of time to get away before they are. Also, no matter what happens, Yuuki has to have a badass level equivilant to Sephiroth's when he comes in to the rescue. Killing Kyon-ko is sin, pure and simple. ...It doesn't help matters that I was still a Yuki fanboy before this happened, I guess... That will never change. |

I finished my first draft of the prologue, but I think I made Kyon-ko a bit too feminine with all the shojou references...
Tell me what you guys think. Spoiler:
Also, RmX, that scene that he's referring to in Vol 2. is the one where Kyon tries to hit Haruhi... somehow we're going to have to change that. |
