I've always wanted to try this style of writing, but I kept getting side tracked by lovey-dovey holiday fics… NO MORE! It's time to unleash the dark side!
Original Sin - Episode 1
Synopsis: I'll cut out the BS for you guys; this basically borrows heavy elements from FEAR, but it's no way a direct crossover, I'm just using certain things. So GROUP gets sent to America to help stop a bloody uprising. But a series of powerful hallucinations imply that there's more to this then they've been told, Accelerator in particular finds himself reliving an old nightmare.
There are a couple of recurring themes throughout this story, which is a tale of guilt, secrets, and the madness that comes with carrying the burden. why Accelerator is the ideal hero for this is because he's somewhat mentally unstable, if I wanted to write a horror story using Touma and his lack of power, I would use some demonic ancient ritual like those from a Japanese horror and have him fist fighting ghosts which doesn't need him to display incredible feats of strength. But you can't do that for Accelerator because he's too damn powerful.
In this case, the style of horror to use is madness. Initially nothing makes sense, but as the character goes deeper into the mystery, suddenly what was illogical suddenly felt reasonable. Eventually the character would wonder if he had become crazy.
But that's enough rambling.
PS - Please put a review on FF.net
I'm needy that way.
