This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

PIMP YOUR FIC HERE! [Links plz]

"No Man's Land," written by request, featuring Ruka and Akio in the Firefly-verse, now with extra Zoe and possibly incomprehensible cryptic foreshadowing, several years before "Serenity."  Feedback is cherished and loved.

Re: PIMP YOUR FIC HERE! [Links plz]

Okay, I'm gonna modify this topic just a little, because I know there are others out there who want to pimp their fics. Neva, I hope you don't mind me stealing your thunder, but we're a pretty uncommunicative forum when it comes to fic and throwing the topic open might get some replies/other fics to read.

Re: PIMP YOUR FIC HERE! [Links plz]

I had the major disadvantage of having never seen Firefly, so I don't know what was really going on, and thus don't have a very thorough review. I did, however, think it was quite well-written and organized. And very ominous. Which is a good thing, as it kept me reading more. I dislike Ruka as a character, but was intrigued by his portrayal here and how he would act on the the orders to observe the students (if I'm getting this right). A fun read but I wish I've seen more of the series.

Re: PIMP YOUR FIC HERE! [Links plz]

How come nobody else is pimping their fics here? emot-aaa emot-aaa emot-aaa C'mon, link to them and parade them around a little. That's what this thread is all about. school-devil Here's my current fics with the attendant pimping:

http://forums.ohtori.nu/viewtopic.php?id=1518 Roses Grow (Utena/Anthy, post-anime)
This lovely fic is looooong. Don't you like a nice long post-series fic? Thought so. So haul your ass over there! Anthy finds Utena in the real world *gasp* (we all knew it was gonna happen...it's only happened in every post-series fic ever written) but there's a catch. The catch is that the highly suspect and traumatic events of the last duel left Utena feeling...a tad upset. As you do. And confused. And...horny? How will she deal with the MASSIVE BETRAYAL?! Will she merely say, "I forgive you, Himemiya...now let's change the subject." I THINK NOT. school-devil This fic is also gradual Utena/Anthy romance. You know you want some of that.

http://forums.ohtori.nu/viewtopic.php?id=1515 What's Up in Ohtori (humor/parody)
Would you like to understand the mysteries of Ohtori Academy? Questions answered herein! Why does smexy Akio have such a foot fetish? What horrendously evil thoughts is Anthy thinking? Is Anthy thinking evil thoughts about sex? Is Utena thinking anything at all? Read eet. Learn.

http://forums.ohtori.nu/viewtopic.php?id=1576 Washing his Dishes (Anthy/Touga lemon)
A lemon?! *sweaty gasp* That means there will be *whisper* sex. I can only imagine what kind of twisted sex it will be when you consider the pairing. *horrified panting*

http://forums.ohtori.nu/viewtopic.php?id=1522 When She Finally Found Her... (Utena/Anthy post-anime one-shot)
Anthy finds Utena. Not fluff...more edgy stuff. (hey that rhymed) Be prepared to be just a little bit creeped out (just the way you like your Anthy...don't lie to me! I know the dark truth...)

http://forums.ohtori.nu/viewtopic.php?id=1528 The Princes "Was" and "Will Be" (Akio/Utena)
Coco Melancholy wanted to see if Akio could believably have some tender feelings for Utena. Being that he's the devil and all. Hmm...could he? Don't decide on your own...read my fic!

Pimp more fic peoples! Here's your chance to write your pimpish-description. Make me want to read or re-read it. Work me. etc-wankgirl

EDIT: Forgot one of my fics. How truly sad. If the pimp forgets it, what will the poor fanfic do?!

Re: PIMP YOUR FIC HERE! [Links plz]

I suppose I shall pimp my fanfic as well. emot-tongue

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3840332/1/W … Always_Die <---- This is the first and only Utena fanfic I have ever written, and perhaps that shows, lol. *shrug* The entire fic is 22 chapters long so it was a work out. Also, look at my sig. Yes, I am a Saionji fan, so this story is mostly focused around him, Touga, Akio, and Utena. There's shonen-ai in later chapters, so...beware...? Hope you'll check it out, Neva. emot-smile

Fic Plot Summary: After being given new Rose Crest rings, the Seitokai members realize that their mortality has been stolen. An effort of teamwork between Utena and Saionji may be their only hope of freedom. Not a Utena/Saionji pairing. Touga/Saionji shonen-ai in later chapters.

I was actually hoping for pimp my ride style pimpimg, where I could give a detailed outline of an uncreated fic, said fic could be written out by someone else, and then could be heavily editted and rewritten by the first person. Just a case of me seeing what I wanted to see.

Re: PIMP YOUR FIC HERE! [Links plz]

I love feedback, especially from diehard fans from the series who will dork with me. So I offer my first piece of Utena fanfiction. The challenge is to pick ten quotes from a Shakespearean play (I picked Othello) and write fics incorporating your own interpretation of the quote.

Here it is!

Love it? Hate it? WTF are you doing with characterization? I thrive on constructive criticism/character voice analyzing.

Re: PIMP YOUR FIC HERE! [Links plz]

Okay, I'ma put the bad first. Juri's 'disappointing' expression should maybe be a 'disappointed' expression, regardless of implications. The idea of Juri being disappointed will come through a lot more clearly than Miki being disappointed by her expression, since it doesn't give a visual.


...however, I don't think I've ever read a fic that had such a sense of immediacy before. Congratulations! It took very few words before I was dragged into the storyline and yanked along by it. I usually give no shit about Juri and/or Miki, and for a few moments there they were interesting. Thanks so much!

Re: PIMP YOUR FIC HERE! [Links plz]

I wish I could comment more on your fic, but Shiori and Kozue are the two characters I understand the least, so I don't get the motivations very well.

It's written very... stream of thought, and seems very fitting, but the run-ons and fragments get a bit confusing after a while.

Sorry I can't be of more use, I'm not very good with those two at all emot-frown

Re: PIMP YOUR FIC HERE! [Links plz]

Ummm *raises hand verry slowly* I have a fic emot-redface .

[url ] http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6378430/1/Sunset_Rose[/url]

It's the first thing I've written that I've published that wasn't for school so I would really appreciate any feedback that you have to give. I originally wrote this for myself though so I have no idea if it will make any sense to any of you.

This is going be a trilogy set in the series Ohtori (I've still not read the manga so it wont fit in with that, straight!Juri makes Libby a very unhappy girl etc-saiowank) before the Utena duels (try and guess who the other two are going to be about emot-tongue , I might do a parody special too) which is my take on how the characters grew up to be the emotional shipwrecks we know and love. It starts off pretty slow but it gets better I promise! It's currently about halfway through the first, which centres around Juri and Shiori, but I will do the other characters when I get round to it so watch this space if you hate them.

Like it? Loathe it? Fallen into a giant gaping plothole and can't escape? (Please, please, please tell me if this happens i've tried so hard to keep it canon.) Characters too OOC? Is it just....meh? Do I write worse than a four year old on meth and should never be allowed near a writing device ever again? Feedback me please emot-keke. Thank you so much just for reading this demented writer ramble emot-tongue .

Jumping on the bandwagon~

This idea came to me at a very inconvenient time, and has been infecting my thoughts as much as the actual series has. It's set in an alternate universe and is a romance between Anthy, who is a slave girl, and a rebel assassin of mysterious origins named Kai, and their quest to bring about the end of a totalitarian regime.

I can't really say much more about it without spoiling the plot, but it's actually going to have yuri in it later. I've only got the first chapter up but the second one should be finished soon.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6348999/1/G … he_Shadows

It's by far my best Utena fic, but here are the other ones just because:

Re: PIMP YOUR FIC HERE! [Links plz]

Hi everyone,

I'm reviving this thread, to offer my own work for reading and/or reviewing...

I wrote a character study of Nemuro as a Yuletide 2015 gift; after the challenge ended, that work became chapter 1 of a much longer story, which follows the Living Computer from his youth until the first appearance of Mikage.

Besides the protagonist, characters include Akio, Anthy, Mamiya, Tokiko, and the Shadow Girls, and the rating is Teen, nothing more explicit than a few fade-outs.

It's the first Utena fanfic I've ever written, and I would truly love to receive feedback, whether you enjoy it or not.  Here it is - Inviolate Rose, ~15k words in five chapters - and thank you, in advance, if you choose to take a look. emot-smile
