As for fanfiction on the whole, I won't dispute the possibility of a reasonably large amount of fanfiction (if fanfiction for Code Geass back a few years ago can be used for reference, I'm hoping fanfiction for this series will follow its example and explode with activity once the series is done). This doesn't really change the fact though that this series doesn't easily lend itself to lengthy plots (and AUs are made slightly redundant by the fact that, you know, the series deals with five AUs that do nothing if not prove the futility of changing small aspects of events). And one-shots and small romance-centric stories are only going to be entertaining for so long; there's a much deeper story involved here, but it's one that can't easily be messed around with. On a finishing note yes, Madoka as Simon is full of win. Mami as Kamina was something I am very happy not picturing, but the first thing I did after reading that was go digging (heh) for Gurren Lagann crossover fanart, particularly of the Madoka-as-Simon variety. It just... works, somehow. |

After reading this one, I'm ready to accept any ending PMMM throws at us, because I don't believe it will be THAT extreme. |

So do I (have a slightly AU idea, that is); and even a slight AU is perfectly fine if you play it out right. Take for example something Snork (I think it was him) said in another thread; change the events following Sayaka learning about being "inhuman" by throwing her into a situation where she's forced to remember why she became a MG in the first place (following his example further, this could be another case of Madoka being drawn into a barrier). The event itself isn't that big or important on it own, but it has the potential to throw a relatively serious wedge in everything that happens after that point. I actually prefer that sort of AU to the sort that dismantles and reconstructs canon.

Oh, hello everyone.
Instead of just posting ideas, I'd like to give you a little snapshot of a work in progress of mine. It was originally supposed to be the opening to the grand finale of a massive crossover saga I'm working on, but it was eventually axed in favor of a more Gainax-y opening. Or maybe it was intended as an alternate opening from the beginning. But mostly it's just what plays in my head whenever I hear Magia. o3o For maximum foreshadowing, please picture demon!Madoka being voiced by Willa Holland and play a slowed down version of Magia in the background. Spoiler for Long, partially unedited crossover ficcage ahead. Has some gore.:
Ehehehe, I'm a little nervous about posting this. ^^; I admit, the entire scene sort of ending in my head with time reseting and all... so the end part was kinda slapped on. |

On the topic of demon!Madoka, the pic I used for reference was this one. Probably not perfect, but everything about it is definitely dark (and screwed up; never forget screwed up) enough to fit the bill. |

I like how posting a story a few hours after Madoka's finale aired caused my FF.net viewcount to jump from 102 to 490 in a single day.
Also, here's a simple, short, happy Cure Pine fanfic Set in the Madoka universe. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6928436/1/Deliverance Isn't that nice? Last edited by Hagoshod; 2011-04-22 at 19:52. |

Hi, I'm back with more fan witches that need names. xD; Okay, so it's only one this time... looks like another KH character became a Puella Magi and went off the deep end... -w-
The stained glass witch. She has a "knight templar"-type personality. She continually devotes herself to destroying all the darkness of the world. Anyone with darkness in their heart who attempts to enter her barrier will be destroyed on-sight, but the pure hearted may stay. In fact, it could be said she desires their company. The witch herself is a shifting creature made of stained glass; the lead lines between panes become her "outline." She can take on whatever shape she desires, but she prefers that of a humanoid. Sometimes, pictures like memories flash across the panes that make up her body. When you enter this witch's barrier, it may, like most barriers, have pieces of scenery from the outside world. But everything will be brighter. There will be stained glass everywhere. The pathways will become stained glass, and soon the only solid footing will be round, stained glass towers against pure whiteness. Remember that the witch can strike from anywhere here. I don't have any ideas for the witch's familiars yet, but I'm thinking something like little living throwing stars that can liquify themselves (actually, y'know what? That's perfect. I'll go with that). Yeah, I need names. Especially names for the familiars. xD; |

Anyway, I'll be honest; when I read all of this, the name that came perfectly to mind for me was Saint Mary of all things. The name seemed a perfect fit with a Witch that seeks to eliminate all forms of darkness, and it maintains a connection between the Witch and Christianity (Knight Templars and all that). 'Course, it helps that the né in Naminé's name is French for "to be born", and I immediately drew a connection between that and Mary being the mother of Jesus. As for the Familiar, I have absolutely nothing. Perhaps a name somehow tied in with Mary, but I don't know enough about her to supply you with any. Sorry 'bout that, and sorry again if this turns out to be a bad suggestion. Not sure how much I like the name Saint Mary myself, but I'll be damned if it's not fitting. |

How about Martel or Gustave?
As for me... I'm working on something where I'm trying to seamlessly link this show with another through several common factors. Can't say but my brain's on fire right now.

...It's true. My ideas and headcanon don't make sense to anyone but me. OTL The Knight Templar thing comes from Aqua being Eraqus's best student... and his teachings can reach into Knight Templar territory occasionally. If Aqua became a Puella Magi, I can see her adding witch-hunting (...heh, witch-hunting...) to her duties as a Keyblade Wielder with great enthusiasm. Then, she learns the truth. She does not take it well. Then, the slower realization that darkness and grief can never be truly eradicated piles onto this, and she goes witch. Which is (just as I planned, kekekeke...) incredibly ironic considering the KH canon. >w> Quote:

Speaking of connections... wanna hear about my Grand Mass Guess on the connections between the Soul Anatomy of various series, including Madoka? [/totallynotSchmuckBait] |
