If you were to write a fanfic...

[~Mae~]

I'm curious as I'm currently redrafting one of my ac fanfictions The Complications of Deceit which is about how Rover is linked to the Mayor being human and everyone else being animals, and I'm curious -

If you were to write an ac fanfiction, what would it be about?

 

[DarkFox7]

Hmm, I'd probably write some kind of love story involving me or some of my villagers. Corny, I know, I can't help it >.<

 

[Pietro:)100]

Hard to say. Maybe a story about who was the mayor going to be, who was Isabelle expecting? Also why was she in such a rush to get a new mayor?
I don't write fanfics, only read them. Yours however sounds great! Which website will it be on?

 

[~Mae~]

It's on fanfiction, however it's onlymy first attempt at a prologue on there under my username Buttonscantfly and I'll be rewriting it over the Christmas break and posting it all too!

They're interesting ideas, I've always had the opinion that my mayor and Static are in love, and that would be fun to explore as to who she really was expecting ect...

 

[Derpykat]

Probably some kind of drama fanfiction, idk.

 

[oranje]

I think I would write a kind of slice-of-life short story about my mayor and her struggles to fit in in a new town. It would mix in some surreal elements (like maybe the town is a dream?) and some inter-personal conflict between the mayor and the other human ingredients.

After reading this, if you think I'm a terrible person, it's probably because I am a terrible person.

Basically, I'd write about my mayor character slowly killing off the inhabitants of my town. It would be sort of like a twisted game; to see if the mayor can murder all of the villagers before one of them finds out who the killer is. If they get too suspicious, they're the next to go. I'd kill them in ACNL related ways, though. For example, I could trap Willow in a pitfall and quickly bury her whilst she's struggling. Or, maybe I could run into Goldie's house whilst being chased by bees but I'd forget to close the door. Once the bees were inside, I'd escape, slam the door and listen to Goldie scream. She would be stung to death, it would be seen as a freak tree-shaking related accident and I'd get off with no blame.

I'm evil.

 

[~Mae~]

Yes but that's fabulous heehee I gues I'm evil too haha

 

[Shadow Star]

I'm in the process of writing the typical ac fanfic's that I see.

I'm sort of tying my old town from Wild World into New Leaf and how my main character from that town moves to a new town in search of a friend of hers that left some years back. She gets off the train and starting line of New Leaf begins. Then it kinda plays out as you would play the game... only more drama and amusing moments with trying to fit in the new role as mayor. And I'd have Isabelle helping out a lot more by edging her a lot more in the right direction in terms of said drama and give advice when the mayor is facing problems of her own. I have no real idea where it's going or anything, just that I thought it'd be a cute story to write. XD

Still debating to have the villagers and stuff remain as animals or make them human with the animal like features (horns, ears/tails, etc).

I'd definitely read that whichever direction it goes in, it sounds great

 

[lazuli]

i guess id write about my mayor's background, my town's background and who he was before and how hes linked with isabelle and whitney and stuff. spooooopy/

*pats shoulder* I think we've all been there XD

Not too sure. After the first lovestory tendencies I've had when I first started playing (NL was my first and for now only ac game...), I've been thinking about a more dramatic take on the events of the game.... my character becoming the mayor by accident, dealing with all sorts of shenanigans with the other residents, working hard as you get to know everyone better.... and essentially going from being an angsty young delinquent who's just been kicked out of his hometown to a caring and even motherly person...

OR a crazy story about a homeless/orphan girl who saves a talking dog from certain death, who then takes her to this portal that leads to this magical place where chibi humans and anthro animals live in perfect harmony >*u*<


OR a shameless tear jerking sadfic about a girl who goes crazy after the death of her little brother and so to escape the pain her subconscious locks her into her fantasies about living in this village inhabited by of animals, and each animal represents a part of her or a person she knew irl (her dead brother is Lucky)...

the possibilities are endless XD

 

[CainWolf]

I wrote a fanfiction about The Void, you know how people refer to that mysterious place that villagers go to when you don't give them to someone else as "the void" and the villagers that go there are "voided villagers?" I wrote a little short story about my various voided villagers in one of the forums here, there's a link to the forum I posted the story in right in my signature if you want to check it out (the chapters are on pages 29 to 30). Each chapter is in the perspective of a different villager (except the prologue and epilogue that feature my human characters) but there are little things that tie the chapters together so it isn't just a bunch of completely random tales.

I might write a sequel if enough people like it (three would be enough people, I just don't want to be writing for an imaginary audience), but nobody posted a comment on the topic since the last chapter went up so I think it may just stay buried in the forum for now.

I'd so read that last idea! That sounds so cool and interesting!

- - - Post Merge - - -

Well if I ever decide to post it online (which I probably will one day), I'll let you know! XD Though I still have to decide if it's animals or part-animal humans. Depending on if I want to have a love interest or just pair up the villagers XD

Woot, I just tossed the idea there for the lols, I didn't expect anyone to take it seriously XD

Holy crap

 

[Dreamy Luigi]

Pretty much it'd be a soap opera xP
Dating, drama, and all that good stuff.

 

[PurplPanda]

I'd write a fanfiction about Lucky and how he got his bandages and such. I feel like the topic could literally go anywhere, and I'd have so much freedom.

 

[Dewy]

I'd maybe write about something related to the mayor that was supposed to arrive but didn't, or I'd write about the story/background that I gave my personal town and villagers (which is long and complicated and would give me a lot to write about).
Or a story about the NPCs. I'd love to read or write something about Gulliver and his travels... Or the complicated love between Tom Nook and Sable.
Or some sort of story about why you're the only human in an animal world. And why the animals talk and act like people. ._.

As for what I'd like to read, I think anything that has an actual plot and an interesting idea would be great. I've read a lot of fanfics, and the ones that have no sense of direction (where the writer doesn't really know what they're doing or where they want to end up) are pretty much never good fanfics. Not having a plot and just trying to do a "day in the life of my mayor" type of thing could (and probably would) turn out pretty boring. That idea could work for a one-shot, but not really for a multi-chaptered story. In my opinion anyway.

Good luck with your fanfic! ^^

 

[Wildroses]

I subscribe to the theory that the Mayor is dead child so if I decided to write a fanfic it would probably be based around this idea. There are two ways you could play with this, either from point of the Mayor slowly piecing together the clues that she's dead or from focusing on the mother writing letters to the child she refuses to believe is dead, only moved away. I think if I did focusing on Mum I'd try and keep the reader from realising Mum has crafted an elaborate fantasy world in which her dead child is the mayor of a town full of animals as long as I possibly could.
