Hnnn.
re: 10 AUs meme.
I have decided that I must have been crazy for using the "wild west" as a type of AU, because frankly I don't like cowboys and indians and sheriffs things, I don't know enough about the time period to write it comfortably, and I can't fake the language/accent.
It keeps freezing me out every time I attempt another set, and since it's the first prompt it's really hard to keep my momentum.
Therefore: Anyone got a more interesting type of alternate universe to throw at me? Reminder, the other nine are:
2. cyberpunk 3. furries 4. pirates 5. ...in SPACE!! 6. born another gender 7. schoolfic 8. army/police/firefighters/EMT 9. urban fantasy 10. harem.
also i'm kind of tempted to write more AUs for narusasu anyway. >_>;;;
When I was wondering how to post it on ffnet (with the other naruto ficlets or in an "assortment of 10 AU ficlets" thinger), I thought "hey, I've got this one that's from the Locker Room Therapy universe, shouldn't it go with the other Lockerverse ficlets instead?" (I still don't know how to post THOSE either, make a new file for them or tack them on after the first oneshot? I don't like the idea because of how jarringly different the mood is between the oneshot and the silly ficlets. Hrrrn.) Anyway, if I take the Lockerverse ficlet out of the set of ten then it's a set of nine and that just ain't right! Because. Um. Just because. So it totally makes sense that I write more AUs to compensate for taking one. I'm thinking... set of fifteen? >__>;;;;
I am not OCD at all, really. >__>;;;
edit: Alright! New set is: 1. Post-apocalyptic 2. cyberpunk 3. furries 4. pirates 5. ...in SPACE!! 6. born another gender 7. schoolfic 8. army/police/firefighters/EMT 9. urban fantasy 10. harem.
And bonus five for those character/pairings I REALLY like: 11. Reversed plot role 12. toddler/kindergarten 13. Feudal Japan 14. high fantasy 15.????? I STILL DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE LAST ONE. AHAHAHA I GOT IT. ARRANGED MARRIAGE.
Feel free to steal, mix'n'match and otherwise adapt to your own needs.

And if you're still taking requests for the narutoverse i have a huge panging for some neji love. i dont even care who he's paired up with :)

--t-tribal... weird tribal AUs... this one has potential too, omg worldbuilding, I just don't know if I could explain it properly in a short ficlet but it's a shiny idea anyway.
... Also, no, I don't. >___> But there's itaneji on my list of perhapsmaybeunlessIdiefirst, and that'll have to be good enough. ;p

... which is a great reason not to take the "tribe" AU now that I think of it because omgtoomuchwork. DX
no subject
Plus the fact that I'm getting most of my research and background for the tribes by researching Native American cultures, primarily the Chippewa tribe since I'm 1/16th Chippewa and have ready access to cultural museums =D

Also, reincarnation. Time travel. Rapid aging or reverse-aging. Sense deprivation (blind, deaf, mute, etc) or enhanced senses. Sudden deification or royalty, rags to riches, prince and pauper (real or imagined). Living the same day over again. ...Tentacles.
I'm confusing myself now as to whether or not these ar AUs or just plot devices. Meh, you can decide that better than I, I would think.
I love your brain. ♥

Um. Pirates? *is shot* Yakuza? Future AU with fighter pilots vs. dragons? *is shot multiple times*
I totally agree with the feudal Japan ronin idea, especially after this cosplay:

199X : Adventures Beyond the Einstein-Rosen Bridge!
It is the twilight of the twentieth century, and life in the holy American Empire is good under the august rulership of Emperor Norton the 4th as it prepares for the dawn of the twenty-first century.
But all is not well, there are those who would endanger the way of American Life; Truth, Justice and Freedom for all.
In the savage fecund jungles of Mars, the insidious remnants of the Japanese Empire-Nazi Germany Alliance skulk and prepare for the next Great War, only this time it would be between worlds.
Even on earth, in Africa, there is dissent against all of Humanity and not just America as the hyper-intelligent dictator of gorilla city, Raksha, speaks of gorilla ascension and displacing all of humanity in a perverse mockery of Darwinism.
But despite these and other dire threats to Humanity, America, and Earth, it is still a golden era of wonders and prosperity as flying cars and Zeppelin air-trains fill the skies. While a cultural and musical revolution flourishes in the Speakeasies that dot the cities of America, lighted by plotonium power plants.
More than that, humanity has step forth into the greater universe with space guns that launch void-faring ships that sail upon the solar-winds.
And it is here where you stand. What tales will they tell of you?
Will you lurk in the dark underbelly of civilization, a private dick investigating crimes for his next meal and rent?
Or will you battle the Nazi in the skies over the jungles of Mars where they have enslaved the savage but noble martians?
Dare you match wits and cold steel against the brightest and deadliest of the gorilla kingdom?
Or will you step forth into infinity, sailing upon the aetheric currents of space between worlds and battling alien menaces?

Game theme is Pulp Adventure!
Game system likely would be Adventure! by White Wolf, or Spirit of the Century...

What about a crossover AU? Write down some favorite series and random (http://www.random.org/) one to throw the pairing into.

As for crossovers and specific-preexisting-world-AUs I'll do another list later, I think.

Or maybe D&D? Or WoW.
There's typical fantasy-medieval Europe-ish, but does that count as epic fantasy? Hmm.
And there's ancient Greece/Rome.
That's all I can come up with now, I'll try to think of more.

I don't think this has been suggested yet, but adorable toddler fic. I'm not entirely sure it counts for AU however.
That said! The Naruto cosplay above has totally sold me on ronin AU now.
And now I'll go back to lurking.
