Yeah, I remember at least one splendid and forever-unfinished Inu-Yasha AU that was deeply moving... moreso than it had any right to be!
I once saw the opening chapter to an FE7 noir that looked quite promising... but it languishes untouched by its author. Yeah, FE3 as Western would feature Emperor Hardin as Coyote, the town boss (flanked by his two silent bodyguards, El Lupo and Zagaro), and Nina would be his distant trophy wife, and Camus is of course the mysterious stranger (the titular Jack of Hearts). The hot chicks of FE3 are the showgirls at the cabaret (Peg Sister dance routines!), and I think Arran will be the chronically-drunk "hanging judge," because I've always pictured him as a closet drunk. Oh... and Marth is just the backstage manager at the cabaret who knows something weird is going on but never pieces it together. So hah! And Julian, Rickard, and Castor are the guys planning to loot the town. It follows the plot of the song, so much as the song has a linear plot.
What bores me worse than "random gurl" stories are the OC stories that might as well be random gurlz. Like the "new species of rare laguz!" or "Branded twin sisters!" (FE9/10 seems awfully prone to this kind of gunk) stories. Just reading the summaries makes me sore inside. Also, anything involving Nino and Jaffar with "Angel" in the title. IT'S BEEN DONE.
