Fading Days, Fading Dreams

Since the crossover I was posting is on a temporary hold while I work on other things, I figured I'd start posting completed chapters on another one I have going.

Yes, another crossover. Those following the current one will recognize at least two characters I'm using--no, this one isn't connected to that one. :)

I figure if I keep posting stuff here, I can urge myself to work more, and it means I have material to keep this place alive. For the few people still here, is anyone actually reading? If you are, and you have questions, I can answer things.

There's a fic-specific post for questions on the crossover I've been posting, and I can start one for the upcoming fic on request.

With that, I'll begin with sharing the next one. Hopefully I'm able to get back to working on everything on my active list. It's a long one!

Title: More crossover! Still working on a title...
Author: virgo186
Beta: Well, she works as one and a reader-fan too, so thank you Lan~
Rating: Uh...still pretty low. PG?
Genre: Still crazy fantasy crossover goodness! Still don't own the sue or the two games involved in this.
Notes/Warnings: ...did I mention I like italics? Expect more of them here.
Summary: The former merchant makes a new friend and realizes more of her shortcomings. Can she really make a place on her own, or will she need a miracle?

( Garden of Secrets, Fountain of Lies )

So yeah, that's where I am currently. This post here is basically a full disclaimer and all that.

The sue I claim to not own? Actually did exist once. This fic's version is slightly toned down. Instead of being in her first person, we dive into her mind every so often--it's when I break out the italics, for the most part. She has a lot to think about!

I also don't own either game series, or their respective character sets. The most I own character-wise? The named background cast. Expect to see more of Eleanor and Arthur, at least, though I might try and sneak a few more cameos in of snarky Elizabeth.

The idea for this actually came from reading a few old suefic sporkings, including the major one that Jenna-sue originated from. I thought that hey, could make a decent challenge with this.

...and then it became a crossover idea, because hey, the stand-in trio would be interesting because they have powers similar to the actual goddesses. They also come from a world that's not connected to Hyrule, so they have some advantages when it comes to reality-warping villains and the like.

(After all, their world has a different sort of reality warper, but she's not a villain. Well, okay, she was a boss character once, but she's gotten better.)

I also wanted to actually show the sue having to work for things. Work for her temporary lodgings, her friendships, and especially her romance with the hero. None of this "hey we just met but omg you're like the greatest person I ever met be mine plz" or whatever.

The prologue, with the "without belief, goddesses can't exist" thing? You all can thank Sanae for that, as her own storyline in her series involved that very topic! :) She actually was uprooted without much warning, as the goddesses of her shrine needed a change of location so they could save themselves from fading away.

So why wouldn't the same work here, if the canon goddess trio got edged out by a newbie?

This is still a work in progress, so I will post chapters as I complete them. Figured I'd get the rest up, anyway, in case people wanted to see them. I feel a little more confident, anyway.

If I get anything else written for any of the other ideas I have going, well, that will get posted as well. So stay tuned!

If I have to do the work myself, I will! :)

Starting us off with a little from my own journal, and I figure I'll just post the entry link since the entire thing is pretty fic-related.

http://virgo186.livejournal.com/151628.html

I can try and dig up challenges or prompt things or something if people want, but for now, I guess I'll provide my own stuff until things perk back up again. Hey, this does give me a place to share any random fic I come up with, right?

(It can also be a dumping ground for idea-tossing sessions or whatever. Not picky!)

So yes, current members...tell your friends. Bring your friends. Have them bring theirs.

Maybe I'll also see about sprucing up the community a little. I'm not so great with things like background coding or whatever, but if anyone wants to help, I'd be good with volunteers. Maybe at least a page-layout change. I'll see what's around.

I won't let this place go yet.

Well, this place died out rather quickly. The remaining posts, I will keep--they're nice to read, anyway.

Those who remain as members, this place would've been slated for deletion (or at least inactivity risking deletion) if I hadn't decided to step in. I know, I'm a pretty lousy mod.

I want to revive this, so those of you left (all...three of us, I think?), tell your friends. This place is still open for posting, as is the sister community, RPW. Come post, we're very quiet.

Let's see if we can do something with this, to bring it back. Rules and profile have been updated.
