Recruiting Evangelion fans

Post by **Xanien** » Thu Aug 19, 2004 4:21 am

I'm recruiting Evangelion fans/experts in regards to a joint fanfic I'd like to write. I'll explain the details in a little bit, but I'm more interested right now in finding out WHO would have the willpower to do a little bit of writing, most likely in the form of a short story of sorts.

Please let me know if you are interested and then I will speak about my idea for these mini-fics.

you could always just do a bit of reaserch yourself, look into it to find what you need and put your ideas to work

I have. I need to find a website that has anime scripts, but the reason I'd like to recruit fans to help write is because I'm already writing two other fics and this third one might be too much for just me considering how many short stories I need to write.

Basically, I'm looking for somebody willing to do one or two short stories at the moment. If they are willing I'll clue them in. It would be a fun little project for everybody, not too time consuming if all the fans pitch in, and an interesting way of getting everybody involved in the forums.

I'm an expert on the series... but I'm to lazy to write

I'll be a beta reader though

Well, since there is some interest now, I'd like to pass the idea by all of you. What I would LIKE to do is write a series of short mini fics dealing with the end of the world, or 3rd Impact IF the Eva's had somehow managed to fail in defeating all the Angels that attacked. So . . . 17 Angels, 17 short fics (well, Minus Adam, so 16 actually).

Here's an example. Shinji is brought in as a reserve pilot for Eva Unit 01, syncs and goes out there to fight the 2nd Angel, but never goes beserker and thus is destroyed. The Angel breaks into the Geofront, into Terminal Dogma, and returns to Lillith, thus creating 3rd Impact and extinguishing man kind as we know it.

This or something like that is what I'd like to do for each battle. You'd pretty much just be doing a novelisation of the parts leading up to the battles and the battles themselves, but everything after the alternate outcome of the battle would be up to you to write and finish.

I guess I'd call it "Eva: Armaggedon" or something like that. A collection of "what if" stories where the Evangelion were either destroyed or just too late (like in the one episode where the angel drops itself onto Tokyo 3).

Anybody still interested?

I'd be to tempted to make shinji grow a pair of balls but it's way OOC

nothing happens when an angle merges with lillith though... so the world wouldn't have ended and the angles would have spent forver and a day looking for adam

Yeah, the angels would have spent a while looking for Adam, but they'd be gods amongst men, pretty much eliminating life wherever they went. It would always be fun to see that happen, right? Bloodshed, death . . . those are fun things . .. . . RIGHT??!!?

of course it is

but they wouldn't be short stories

and it would pretty much be the same till the angel of fishes

that's the first one that could have actually caused 3rd impact

The one that was in the ocean destroying all those ships? Please expound on your theories and ideas. If you guys can't help writing it, I could use all the information you guys know about it that I might have other thoughts about.

the 6th angel, the angle of fishes... it was the first to come close to contact with adam

adam was on that huge carrier... till kaji flew off with it at least

Ah yes! You're right! That really clears things up, thanks!
