mark_asphodel Well, since ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sailorvfan10 brought up her ideas, I may as well share mine.
So, my idea was for an all-out Archanea fest, 'cause that's what I do and it's not like anyone else was going to do it. There is no shortage of characters, after all... though some of the "prompts," like "Long-Haired Sword-Wielding Beauty," seem to be aiming for tropes that post-date the Archanea games. Original!Archanea had no lovely lady myrmidons.
My ideas, or lack thereof:
1) Lord-- my notes say, "Marth 'cuz I have no choice."
2) Departure Preparations-- Caeda leaving Talys to go fight in the War of Darkness.
3) Heroine-- I gots nothin'
4) A Faithful Knight-- Cain. <3 <3 <3
5) The Critical Moment-- I had an idea swiped from the FE1 manga, which means it's probably a poor idea. Next!
6) A Hero-- torn between the obvious (Ogma) and the subversive (Michalis)
7) Knight and Princess-- Midia and Nyna. Not yuri, stop looking at me like that.
8) Attack!-- Gots nothin'
9) Joining up-- Wolfguard, meet the ragtag Army of Light Play nice, fellas.
10) Class Change-- one of the Peg Knights tries to master a dragon. Ouch.
11) The Arena-- Caesar and Radd try to score some gold.
12) Finding Treasure-- Julian and Marth, pocketing everything not nailed down. (Have I mentioned lately that I love the fact that the Game Hero's special skill is stealing stuff?)
13) Flutter flutter flutter-- something to do with Caeda.
14) Dance in the Sky-- Minerva reflecting on Michalis
15) Crossing the Desert-- two options, one Merric/Linde-ish and the other Catria/Cain-ish (gasp!), both set during the Path of Anri chapter in FE3.
16) Scarred-- Gots nothin'
17) Big Brother and Little Sister-- Matthis and Lena. Yep.
18) Healing-- My beloved dipstick stalker Melissa.
19) Those Who Inherit the Blood of a Dragon-- Xane
20) Anger-- I wrote a Marth-and-Jagen scene set during the invasion of Gra, butpenandpaper71 wrote something along the same lines for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fe_contest one round, so I'll have to come up with something else.
21) Soldier-- Roger, before and after defecting
22) While Resting-- Gots nothin'
23) Can't Be Anyone But You-- Astram/Midia
24) Wind-- Linde contemplating Merric
25) Land of Winter Chill-- I actually wrote this one. It's a Catria-and-Cain piece kicking around in the archive somewhere.
26) Triangle Attack-- Palla, Catria, and Est on the loose
27) Heavy-- I will not make jokes about Draug. I will not make jokes about Draug...
28) Long-haired Sword Lady-- Athena, I guess.
29) Battle Maiden-- Caeda. Obvious, but oh well.
30) Rival-- Ellerean says hello
31) Choosing a Target/Setting Your Sights-- something involving Jeorge
32) My Pace-- wrote a piece with Luke as a layabout and Cecil being annoyed with him. Now that Luke has been recast as something that isn't quite a slacker, I guess this is OOC.
33) Rescue-- Maria. She's usually in need of one. :/
34) Revenge-- Abel, after seeing the light in War of Heroes
35) A Bond-- Nothin'
36) Captured Princess-- Minerva circa War of Heroes
37) Goodbye-- Nothin'
38) Sleep-- Nothin'
39) Mage-- going for the obvious again with Merric
40) Friendship-- Marth and Hardin, ha ha ha
41) Noble and Commoner-- No ideas
42) Even If it Takes My Life/Risking One's Life-- Thought about using Camus around the time he saves Nyna and decided I just didn't want to go there.
43) You've Got A Long Way to Go Before You're That Good-- Ogma is not impressed with Marth's skills at the outset
44) I Want To Help You-- Meh.
45) Grassy Plain-- some more fun with the Wolfguard in their native habitat
46) It Doesn't Stop-- I bet anyone can guess where I'd go with this.
47) Persuasion-- Caeda Caeda Caeda
48) Princess-- Sheema gets a turn in the spotlight
49) Prayer-- Maria. I think this got reworked into another story somewhere along the line.
50) Light and Shadow-- Der. Gee, I wonder what to do with this one?
51) Dragon Knight-- Minerva.
52) Conquer-- Thought about Hardin, thought better of it.
53) A Confrontation of Fate-- in which Marth totally fails at recruiting Camus and Caeda has to save the day
54) Wait for Me-- Meh
55) A Break-- Meh
56) Beloved One (Some mess involving the Macedonian sibs)
57) Money-- notes say, "Castor, duh"
58) Brother-- Maria and her Michalis fixation
59) Tension-- note to Marth, Astram don't like you very much
60) Look-Alike-- Samto. Completing this would involve actually writing a piece about Samto. Argh.
61) ... Free Time-- in Archanea?
62) Unreachable Thoughts-- happy fun time with Caeda and Marth. Or not.
63) Priest-- Wrys. Not for laughs, either.
64) Escort-- Ogma and the Grust twins
65) Beard-- Merric tries to score some manly points and fails
66) I'm Sorry-- too many options
67) Intensive Training/Crash Course-- strongly leaning toward a Yumina 'n' Yubello scene in light of FE12 and their "study sessions"
68) Ancient Magic-- Derp.
69) Smile-- Derp.
70) Sword Dance-- I will not write Navarre. I will not write Navarre. I will not...
71) That Cute Child-- Tiki Tiki Tiki!!!
72) Partner-- either Cain'n'Abel or Luke'n'Rody
73) Sweat-- even a princess wilts in the desert.
74) Help me-- Too many options
75) Night-- Whatever scenario I don't use for Crossing the Desert
76) Comrade-- Not sure.
77) ... ..!! -- The marriage of Hardin and Nyna hits the breaking point
78) Tears -- Not sure
79) Death Blow-- Michalis, ideas for which partly ended up in "Brave Ascent"
80) Prince-- Yubello and his destiny, fated or otherwise
81) Legendary Weapon-- the Gradivus is a nasty piece of work
82) Thanks-- Meh
83) Blood-- A little Abel/Palla story involving some highly controversial subject matter
84) Stand By Me-- Gots nothin'
85) Strategy Conference-- early in the War of Darkness; Marth wonders why the hell he's in charge when everyone else in the room has decades of experience on him. Some of them are thinking the exact same thing...
86) Confession-- Nyna and her bloody stupid love life
87) The Past-- in which the missteps of fathers bring war upon their sons and daughters
88) Hurry! Hurry!-- Catria and the rebellion against Minerva
89) Heartbeat-- haven't decided
90) Rain-- I'll need to write something that doesn't recycle "Call Down the Rain"
91) Alone-- Gotoh, you inhuman old bastard
92) Happiness-- is not present in large quantities in this universe
93) Dynamic Duo-- not entirely sure what to make of the various things I've read that this prompt "means"
94) Handsome-- Unfortunately for Minerva, princesses are supposed to be beautiful
95) A Party/Banquet-- that "celebration" that Est proposes at the end of FE12... right before she disappears
96) Back-- Sometimes coming home makes the war look easy by comparison
97) The Night Before the Decisive Battle-- I'm not even sure which war to zero in on here
98) Final Battle-- How final is final, anyway?
99) Advent of Peace-- in the year 605. Too bad it fell apart in about a year and a half.
100) Wedding Ceremony-- seriously leaning toward Sheema and Samson on this one.
Despite a heavy slant toward the Macedonian contingent, I was (am?) trying to spread the attention among the characters. That said, after two years I have one completed scene (#25), several WIPs, and some stuff that ended up in other 'fics to show for it. Ah, well. Who's counting?

Date: 2011-03-09 11:56 am (UTC)The chance of writing these has gone up somewhat because I've been in the mood to write shorter pieces now, instead of having everything turn out 3K-5K words. So, we'll see...
