My VGF-Funded Fanfiction Thing (you guys help me out)

Wyborn · 02-05-2008, 05:41 PM

Well, ladies and gents, I have decided to partake in that most heinous of activities, which is the witing of fanfiction!

In general, I do not enjoy fanfiction. I feel, however, that a combination of factors can contribute to quality fanfiction. I will list them.

1. Pick a character you are familiar with. You need to pick someone who you are at least familiar with and whose actions you could predict.

2. Put this character in a natural situation. That is to say, put the character in a context where their actions might occur naturally, both to you and for the character. It should be easy to imagine what they would do, though you can certainly challenge yourself with complexity.

3. Play to your own strengths. Know what you're good at and construct a narrative that will allow you to display this.

4. Write something that you yourself would want to read. This should require no more explanation.

So there we go. These are important rules!

This is the idea based on those rules:

You take Ganondorf as he is portrayed in Twilight Princess, and you put him different places and situations: I guess you could call it world-hopping, where he goes about and goes into different locales and interacts with different characters. The readers 9that would be you guys) would get a ertain interactive part to play, where you choose where he goes and who he interacts with.

Sounds lame so far? Sure? But only because you don't know the title.

Ganondorf Beats Up EVERYONE

So. There you go. That's pretty much the whole story. The first couple of installments (prologue and chapter 1) are spoken for. After that you guys get to say who you want Ganondorf to beat up.

I thought it'd be amusing.

Anyway yeah Prologue'll be up sometime soon. Start dropping ideas. I'll do any world or character so long as they 1. are not now nor were at any point alive, and 2. are not religious figures.

Prologue: Ganondorf decides to beat up everyone.
Chapter 1: Ganondorf beats up Batman, circa All-Star Batman.
Chapter 2: Ganondorf beats up Crocomire
Chapter 3: Ganondorf beats up Tidus and Yuna during the Laughing Scene
Chapter 4: Ganondorf beats up Zelos from Tales of Symphonia
Chapter 5: Ganondorf beats up Shadow the Hedgehog
Chapter 6: Ganondorf beats up Kratos, the God of War
Chapter 7 onwards: you guys decide

Just a fun little project....let's get it going.

How To Get Someone Beat Up By Ganondorf

These are some easy guidelines to follow.

Step 1: Choose who should be beaten up, and say so. I will have Ganondorf beat up anyone from anywhere. Any game, book, comic, movie, anime, cartoon, TV show, whatever. Just any form of media you want. Warning: Do not name anyone unless you want them to get beaten up, because that is what will happen! Do not say "Phoenix Wright" unless you want Phoenix Wright to tote an ass-whoopin'! This is not limited to one person. Chapter 1 has him beating up Batman, but yes, if you demand it, I will have Ganondorf kick the asses of the entire Justice League.

Step 2 (optional): Gimme an idea of how it should go down! By this I mean you can lemme know when and where you want it to happen (ex: when Batman is about to beat up Superman). You also have four options for the kind of beating this person carries, which goes 1. Comedically one-sided, 2. Serious ass-whoopin', 3. Extremely close, or 4. Creative problem-solving!

Step 3: Get someone to agree with you! Once an idea is supported by a couple people, it will be added to the queue in the order that it came into popularity.

Step 4: Enjoy the ass-whooping!

That sure is easy. Everyone should do it.

Speaking seriously, guys, I might put this up on fanfiction.net and see how berserk everyone goes. Or doesn't go. Look I'll post the comments here.

I'd like to see Ganondorf wail on Tidus. Preferably right in the middle of The Goddamn Laughing Scene. "HAH HAH HA-AHHH CHRIST MY SPLEEN!!!"

***Cosmonautical*** · 02-05-2008, 06:49 PM

SD and I have concluded that Ganondorf should battle the Crocomire from Super Metroid. If it is necessary, I shall provide you with an emulator and save state as an example of the Crocomire's majesty. Or at least a video.

Click to view video.

Crocmire battle starts at 13:50

alternatively...

Click to view video.

Just mute out the crappy Linkin Park music. The Crocomire's at about 2:30 through the video.

Should I throw in Yuna?

AI: I've played Super Metroid so, you know. I know who you mean. What's your reason there, though? Crocomire in particular.

***Booyakasha*** · 02-05-2008, 07:12 PM

Yes, throw Yuna in--maybe Ganondorf could impale the two of them on a stick. You know, make a bitch kebab.

***Cosmonautical*** · 02-05-2008, 07:16 PM

1. The Crocomire (just realized I was missing the second O) is pure awesome. I do not have any particular explanation, but I love the damn thing. Especially the sounds it makes, and the way it gives you a heart attack the first time it bursts through the wall at you.

2. It cannot be killed by conventional means of attack. It will be interesting to read how Ganondorf battles it. I would assume he'd try to attack it as any regular foe at first, only to discover it completely impervious externally to his attacks.

3. It's from Super Metroid, my favorite videogame and setting of all time.

Panfan · 02-05-2008, 07:17 PM

Beat up Penelo from FFXII.

Better idea: Throw everyone but Auron in. Then finish it with him killing Sin

Wyborn · 02-05-2008, 07:36 PM

Hm! Looks like if we don't want this to go all Gooey Kablooie, I better add in some guidelines. Check the first post in a few minutes!

And done!

Panfan · 02-05-2008, 07:40 PM

Penelo, anytime, it's not like she's actually doing anything ever. Also, 2.

Microphone_Kirby · 02-05-2008, 07:49 PM

How About Shadow the Hedgehog? I don't want him to get owned, but I find this interesting and exciting. Also, this fight would require a #4 situation (Creative problem-solving!

), considering he has all those awesome Chaos moves and his "friends" intervene (where Gannondorf gives them a "#1" treatment).

Oh yes, the location. How about Station Square, where
Spoiler Below

as a result of the battle, it gets utterly annihilated!

That's all.

**X-3** · 02-05-2008, 08:02 PM

I second Crocomire's death.

Gonna think of something later.

EDIT-Got it. He must beat on Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes. Battle would probably take place in the parking lot of Travis' motel...Now, how should it end? Hmm, maybe Travis getting ripped in half by Ganondorf's sword.

***Ace Mercury*** · 02-05-2008, 08:12 PM

I think River Tam is going to have some competition.

***Cosmonautical*** · 02-05-2008, 08:13 PM

I was thinking a battle with the Crocomire wouldn't be too one-sided, and he would probably take a beating until he figures out some way to kill it. You can interpret how the Crocomire behaves or how intelligent it actually is however you want. I kind of like the idea of Ganon fighting some monstrous thing that he had no intention of fighting, it would put him in a place that we've never seen him as a character. The type of place where fanfiction thrives, in that sense.

***Booyakasha*** · 02-05-2008, 08:21 PM

The Tidus-whomping can be as one-sided as you like. I've never actually played FFX, and am thus unfamiliar with Tidus' abilities; all I know is that he looks like Meg Ryan, and he sounds like a real fanny blossom in the aforementioned Goddamn Laughing Scene.

Wyborn · 02-05-2008, 10:28 PM

Hm. All right....Crocomire is up first.

I'll post the prologue sometime tonight and edit the OP with links to each "chapter" as we go along. That'll be swell.

ZeldaGirl · 02-05-2008, 10:57 PM

Am I seriously the only person who actually LIKES Penelo?

Wyborn · 02-05-2008, 11:02 PM

Yeah. As such why don't you say who you think should be beaten up by Ganondorf? You can name anyone, like or dislike, and if people agree I'll do it.
