So, can we post non-Gatch fic here? Since I'm just re-establishing my fandom for Gatch, I'm not really ready to write anything yet, but I though I might post up a Star Wars fanfic that I wrote some time ago, sort of show everyone my style, see if they like it. OK, or not?

I'm totally cool with that ... If you ask Cep really nicely he'll set you up with your own shelf in the fic library... Are you on fanfiction.net?

Nope, not on fanfiction.net... yet. I've just popped over and had a look, looks like an easy way to publish work up for people to read.

ff.net is a great way to get it to the masses ... it's makes it easier to post here too, but pasting a link for us to find you. Things just don't cut and paste well here ... :grin: SJ

If you'd like to post a fic here, we'd love to read it, Jairen!

I too recommend fanfiction.net. It's fairly easy to use, and it has some fun features -it tells you what countries the people who look at your fics are in, for example. Once you register though, you have to wait a few days for your account to become active. I look forward to reading your fic, and I really hope you write some for Gatch/BOTP too. For some reason there aren't as many male fic writers, and it would be interesting to have some male perspective to balance things more!

I'm looking forward to another fic to read!

I think of this fic library as being Gatch related, but I would love to see links to your fics. Especially if, as you say, you are planning to write some Gatch stuff as well. And Star Wars stuff would be interesting to read. I have not gotten into that fandom yet. but by finding an Author I like in Gatch and then reading some of their other stories that is how I have found some other interesting fandoms.

OK, I've finally got clearance to upload to FF.net, so I've put up one of my stories for perusal. Star Wars Chronicles Echoes Of The Future For those that know Star Wars, this is set post Episode 3, pre Episode 4. However, it was written in 2001, before Episode 2 came out and was recently RetConned to allow for changes after the prequel trilogy completed. I'm already reuminating on potential stories in the Gatch world, probably post series, age all the characters up a bit. I love this part, when the ideas start to flow

That will be interesting. I look forward to see what you think their future will be like. Especially considering I am enjoying myself writing pre and post to the series. Of course mine is BOTP series not Gatch.

BTW I look forward to reading you story when I have time this weekend. It is meant to rain all day Sunday so hopefully then. If i am not busy writing instead.

Star Wars! I'm looking forward to reading it!

I remember as a kid, having some thoughts as to my own Star Wars but never getting any farther, just mini thoughts.

I write in part of the series that fits the story that comes into my mind. Have you seen any Gatchaman Jairen?

Just starting it in its original form. Grew up with BotP, so it's interesting seeing (and hearing) it again, but in the uncut form and no 7-zark-7! It's strange that it's taken me this long to get back to it, especially since I prefer the uncut japanese versions of any anime that I watch. Silly westerners cutting all the good stuff out! Oh wait, I'm a silly westerner. Hmm, must be a lesson in that somewhere.

I started out with bOTP because its what I grew up with. (Still have a soft spot for it.) But I LOVE Gatchaman more these days. No silly robot... Japanese anime does have its own touch, the stories are more in depth from what I have seen.

Oh, good, your story is up at ff.net! Jairen, I will read it very soon...

You write really well, Jairen! I'm no expert in the Star Wars mythology (although I do recognize the name of Kieran's daughter...), but I enjoyed your story and I can well believe that you could write great Gatch/BOTP fics too. I'm assuming there is a second part to this story? Is it written or a work in progress? i

The tone is very star wars... (I think every series has its own tone, its good to read it and feel its Star Wars right from the first sentence!) I was right into Star Wars many years ago. I grew up with it so its one of my loves. I just never looked for fanfic on it for some reason. Your writing is easy to read and flows well. There has to more to the story though... Can't wait to see what you come up with in BOTP/Gatchaman...

Thank you for the kind comments There is another part to this, but it's still in progress at the moment so I haven't posted it up. And I'm definitely throwing some ideas together now, just need to refresh myself with how the Gatch show ended originally so I don't make a silly mistake in the story

Angsty angsty angsty.... Does that help I'm working in fighter at the moment and thats even more angsty that than the last two series!! But I have this thing for writing in it...dunno what teh attaction is...I'll figure it out one of these days.

There are no 'silly' mistakes. And if you deviate from canon a bit (either intentionally or unintentionally) no one really cares, as long as the story is good.

TJ's right... we love a good story even if you have to bend canon a bit to make it work.

Hey Jairen. The gatch- weekend is proving to be a problem because no one has the same weekend free.. however. If you wanted to come over and watch some Gatcha man any time I wouldnt say no.

Are the rest of us invited? Sounds like you guys will have a good time!

Hi Jairen, and other authors, if you are looking for a home for non-Gatch fanfiction (we will take Gatch, too), but would like a step up from ff.net or aff try Chaos: chaos.sychophanthex.com . It is a moderated archive staffed by grammar geeks, but we are always looking for top quality fanfiction from anywhere and original fanfiction.
