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.

hmmm.... maybe post apocalyptic or tribal/savagey???

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 :)

POST APOCALYPTIC OMG YES

--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

...I might have a tribal-esque world-in-process I could loan you if you'd like. Might even have ficlet potential too.

Just saying. *shifty eyes*

XD aw, thanks, but I think if I went with the tribal thing I'd rather make up a new tribe for every different character/pair.

... which is a great reason not to take the "tribe" AU now that I think of it because omgtoomuchwork. DX

[phantomshade]

And which is exactly why I set limits on my 'Verse. Only a few characters are in tribes and the rest are quote-unquote "civilized". Much easier since I really only have two civilizations and three sub-civilizations to work on.

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
