Fun with Fi, dreams, and gundam zombies!

[profile] phoenix_melody: I had a dream about you writing fanfic last night! XD
[personal profile] askerian: o_o
[personal profile] askerian: hahaha XD awesome. what was I writing?
[profile] phoenix_melody: you were writing this, like, five-universe crossover
[profile] phoenix_melody: and the gundam wing people featured heavily
[profile] phoenix_melody: and there were a pair of siblings from this other universe and the lite brother had done something...I don't know, something that most of the pilots (Heero and Wufei, at least) saw as a betrayl, but Relena stood up for the kid and was all no you can't kill him and Wufei was all we have to
[profile] phoenix_melody: and there were also zombies
[profile] phoenix_melody: it was a really, really weird dream


[personal profile] askerian: man, I've had dreams like that, when i'm reading an AWESOME story!!! and i wake up before the end noooo
[profile] phoenix_melody: XD
[profile] phoenix_melody: I was wanting to see the showdown with Heero & Wufei v. Relena
[profile] phoenix_melody: instead we got sidetracked into zombies! which were fun
[personal profile] askerian: ... relena would win.
[profile] phoenix_melody: XD
[profile] phoenix_melody: would she now?
[personal profile] askerian: she fights dirty.
[profile] phoenix_melody: ahahaha
[personal profile] askerian: not with her hands, mind, but she knows where to aim her words. XD
[personal profile] askerian: what other universes were there?
[profile] phoenix_melody: I don't know
[profile] phoenix_melody: the gundam one was the only one I was sure about
[profile] phoenix_melody: I think Sephiroth may have pop up in the background, but he wasn't in on the epic confrontation
[profile] phoenix_melody: and it was one of those dream things where you know for sure specific things are true but it never shows up in the dream
[profile] phoenix_melody: (like the time I was dreaming and the people were speaking French and I was all I don't speak French and then suddenly there were subtitles and I knew exactly what was going on)
[personal profile] askerian: *cracks up*
[personal profile] askerian: now i want to write GW versus zombies things
[personal profile] askerian: man, the boys would OWN.
[profile] phoenix_melody: .......that would be awesome
[profile] phoenix_melody: that would be seriously awesome
[personal profile] askerian: i mean... gundam pilots... brainless shuffling hordes...
[personal profile] askerian: i've read a fic like this before for katekyo hitman reborn, though, i'm afraid i'd just copy it
[profile] phoenix_melody: would they be gundam pilots? or would you do it like the naruto + zombie ones you did where they weren't actually ninja, just the same characters in a different universe?
[personal profile] askerian: i dunno, zombies seem more of an urban horror thing, and naruto is an alternate universe with magic
[personal profile] askerian: zombies would last two minutes, you have to even the playing field.
[personal profile] askerian: but for gundam pilots a bigger par of their identities is tied into being terrorists
[profile] phoenix_melody: *nodsnods*
[profile] phoenix_melody: it'd be harder if you did it post-EW when all the mobile suits are gone
[profile] phoenix_melody: they couldn't just wander through the streets and stomp on things
[personal profile] askerian: yeah
[personal profile] askerian: but they'd still be really calm and collected
[personal profile] askerian: also it'd be really funny if heero after disappearing for another year or three just appears on duo's window one day and is all "relena is trapped in her mansion by a horde of the undead. pack your gun and let's go."
[profile] phoenix_melody: ...that would be amazing
[personal profile] askerian: duo: *blinka whut I WAS SLEEPING YOU DICK*
[profile] phoenix_melody: that'd be a fun little one-shot!
[personal profile] askerian: oh man
[personal profile] askerian: aaaa stop tempting meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[personal profile] askerian: i'm writing nanothiiings ;;
[profile] phoenix_melody: you can file it away for later!
[profile] phoenix_melody: he should pick up Quatre, too, 'cuz he's got his own little private army!
[profile] phoenix_melody: unless he and Duo are all they need. XD
[personal profile] askerian: XD
[personal profile] askerian: he'd totes get quatre next. trowa's busy driving the elephant through another zombie horde
[profile] phoenix_melody: ahahahaha
[personal profile] askerian: all the trapeze artists are going from house to house via the roofs.
[personal profile] askerian: wufei: *is a preventer, bitch* *OH MAN I CAN GET MY SWORD OUT OF RETIREMENT
[profile] phoenix_melody: ahahaha
[profile] phoenix_melody: I'm sure he's excited to have a ligit use for his sword again
[personal profile] askerian: hilde: *flattens zombies via using the crane to drop mobile suit parts onto them*
[profile] phoenix_melody: like a game of whack-a-mole XD
[personal profile] askerian: also the parts could make a good barrier against zombies. they're not good at climbing!
[profile] phoenix_melody: (it'd also be awesome vignette style! like the when-they-figured-out-Heero-was-a-girl thing you wrote)
[profile] phoenix_melody: that is true!
[personal profile] askerian: ooh.
[personal profile] askerian: NO NO NO TYR FIRST AAA
[personal profile] askerian: ... i was thinking... how do zombies find people
[personal profile] askerian: do they still see? even when they don't have eyes anymore? do they hear them? ... infrared?
[personal profile] askerian: if it's infrared and they're attracted to warmth, oh god. it'll be done in like a half hour. just make bonfires at intersections. XD
[profile] phoenix_melody: my zombies are still technically alive, and so they see and hear
[personal profile] askerian: ohh :D
[personal profile] askerian: if i want crack the bonfire solution might work best XDD
[profile] phoenix_melody: ahahahaha
[personal profile] askerian: "end of zombie apocalypse: friday 13, ten thirty PM."



In NaNo news, wordcount: 13 881 words, but now I don't know what to make happen next. I should randomly add a pool and have them relax for a bit. After all today I gave Tyr a therapy session. (oh god once the first draft is done I will need a real therapist person to tell me all the ways in which OH MY GOD A GOOD THERAPIST WOULD NEVER DO THAT, because I do want the character to come across as basically competent and not actually a hack, if a bit out of her depth (they might have wanted to pair her up with an animal behaviorist, just liking animals a lot does not qualify. XD) Alas I am not, personally, a psychiatrist, and as such I am having a bit of a hard time. (also her not-very-confrontational, nice way of speaking is so BORING to write. I want snappy, snarky dialogue dammit!)

The pool scene could be a fanservice outtake. Manga does it, why not novels? >_> I could revolutionize novel-writing with that idea.
