    Re: MSPA Fanfiction V: We're Going to Need More Wands

    So here's a thing that's been in my head for a while. The trolls never played Sgrub, and now as they come of age they say their last goodbyes before heading out into the empire.

    Very heavy on both Karkat and Gamzee, so expect a lot of swearing.


    The End and What Comes After





    If it's interesting enough I might write some more chapters, I don't know. Also, does anyone remember where the fanon name "Ishizi" came from for the troll empress? I needed a name for her and I remembered seeing that one around.

    (I broship Tavros/Gamzee so hard.)

    I never heard Ishizi before. I always imagined her name was Tiamat because duh, huge destructive force of nature goddess of chaos and the sea, who sort of had to be killed to make the world. Um, that's the old-fashioned Tiamat naturally, not the dragon goddess that most people are familiar with.

    Okay this was a most enjoyable read we just got from Red Pen. It's heartwarming and sad and exciting at the same time to see the trolls issue all those farewells and also ponder whether or not they won't get randomly executed for something minor.

    If it's interesting enough I might write some more chapters, I don't know.
    would definitely read.

    I think that was me, when I made the first fic with the Empress in it. It was a different name, but it still started with an I and sounded vaguely egyptian.

    Also Red I that fic forever. You absolutely nailed everyone's personalities.

    Chromomine is now headcanon.

    Also, I would read any sequels. You definitely have a good plot set up, and I want to see where this goes. Besides, I want to see what hapens when Gamzee is sent to Cull Karkat for faking his blood.

    @Red Pen: ooohhhhhhh yessssssss! I love these kinds of "Trolls grow up" stories. Makes me miss Quixotic's Conquest series. Nice job referencing Karkat's "proper" place in the hemospectrum, by the way - I remember being SO SURE it was yellow-green, just because of the zodiac pattern, and then getting all disappointed when I was wrong.

    ...So, you gonna continue? I hope you do.

    Rose and Jade don't seem enough like themselves and I think I'm telling where I should be showing and also I'm afraid the premise is dumb as hell. Well to be fair the main twist hasn't come along yet! But I seriously think when we get that far, people are going to read it and groan because it's just so dumb

    Maybe I'm wrong, I'm pretty vitriolic toward my own works if you haven't noticed! Every time I look at something I just made I can't help but feel all kinds of revulsion toward it. But this time I just can't shake the feeling that someone is reading it and rubbing their hands together and muttering "oh man I can't wait to rip into this piece of shit"

    Anyway it's out there now and I hope at least someone likes it
    Well I'm not sure that I'm the best judge of what makes a good story and what doesn't what with me being the world's shittiest writer, but I'm certainly enjoying it . If I was going to give some criticism though, I don't feel that Karkat's reaction to Sollux's death was quite what I expected. When Sollux was killed by the vast glub, Karkat was distraught, I guess I kinda expected a similar thing here. I thought that your Rose and Jade were pretty good though.

    I think what I was going for regarding that is, that it's kind of the straw that broke the camel's back, as it were

    The first time he saw Sollux die, wasn't it the first time he felt he failed as a leader? Christ I need to just read Hivebent a million times if I'm going to insist on continuing to write the trolls, but anyway that was kind of the first time shit hit the fan.

    But now, the group he was in charge of was reduced to a third of its former number (and with Sollux gone, a quarter) and he feels like it's entirely his fault, so now he's just kind of numb. And Sollux's death wasn't just his best friend dying, it also meant that their escape route, which was right fucking there in front of them, is now closed off to them forever. So instead of an emotional outburst he's just kind of "well great. I guess we really are fucked then" and just sort of shuts down

    At least, that's what I was going for and I guess that's my justification. Is that what canon!Karkat would have done in the same situation? Maybe, maybe not. Apparently I'm not that great at fanfiction if I can't say for sure! But I wrote what I wrote, and at the very least I hope it's an entertaining story and not grossly out of character.

    But I'm rambling. A new chapter exists, it's kind of short and it's entirely a pesterlog, we're getting away from the depressing shit for a bit (and hinting at future heroics), and here it is:

    CROSSING OVER: CHAPTER 4

    @ Red Pen
    For the past couple days I've been writing a Trolls never played sgrub AU set a couple generations in the future (with Spades Slick putting Doc Scratch's pin in Die's doll and being sent to that timeline) we should totally compare notes.

    And on that note, here's part 3 of said AU fic.

    Chapter 1
    Chapter 2

    Chapter 3: Clips from "Red Blood"

    I am very glad to hear this, because it means that SCIENCE supports my choice of lyrics.
    (I also considered going with "Neponine," but I was already pretty far over the Narm line as it was.)

    I think my favorite part was when Jade covered Dave in puppet ass. Seems like something she'd do.

    If it's interesting enough I might write some more chapters, I don't know. Also, does anyone remember where the fanon name "Ishizi" came from for the troll empress? I needed a name for her and I remembered seeing that one around.

    (I broship Tavros/Gamzee so hard.)

    Awesome stuff. I love reading anything 1.) by you and 2.) about trolls in the future. Throwing in details about Troll society is just delicious icing on the awesome-cake.

    Also, I'm pretty sure SkaianRedeemer came up with Ishizi in AHiHH, but I'm not totally certain.
