Aya's Writing Workshop - Bring us your story ideas and outlines!

[Desu_Cake]

Lunasa cuz she has a violin
I'd say go for Yukari - she's supposed to be good at maths, so logic and deduction isn't a huge stretch.

[Ibaraki Ibuki]

I did consider writing a Touhou fanfic based on the short stories or the 2009 film; it's nice to see someone who has a similar idea. (Personally, if I were to write my fanfic, I'd set the story in the Meiji or Taisho era, but setting it in the present makes your work a lot easier.)

My suggestions for Holmes -- Watson pairings:

• Yukari -- Ran/Reimu
• Yuyuko -- Youmu/Youki
• Eirin -- Reisen
• Patchouli -- Koakuma
• Marisa -- Alice (a more "bohemian" pairing)
• Sanae -- Reimu or Reimu -- Sanae (the choice for Watson would probably depend on whom you think has more common sense)

My suggestion for the location of "221B Baker Street": Kyoto, though Tokyo or Osaka are better substitutes for London.

I'd also like to suggest including Aya or Hatate as a journalist character. As far as I know, Doyle didn't have Holmes interact with the press very much, so a newspaper reporter would be a nice addition. (And having Aya harass interview the other characters may help prevent writer's block or boost word count a la ninjas invading 221B Baker Street.)

That's all from me, but I'm wondering if you have planned expies of Mycroft, Lestrade, or the Baker Street Irregulars? (Cirno and co. might fill that last role.)

Mycroft would be Yukari (lazy but more intelligent than the Holmes-expy), and Lestrade would be Marisa (actually good at what she does, but just isn't like the Holmes-expy), but the Baker Street Irregulars would be chosen at my discretion, because I have no idea who they should be. Cirno would be their leader, for sure.

Honestly homes makes me think of Akyu.

Honestly homes makes me think of Akyu.

Why did I not think of this.  Although, Akyu doesn't strike me as someone who would do all sorts of crazy things just to accomplish something. Then again, I'm making an AU of an AU. That could work, too.

I tend to think Akyuu is more Watson than Holmes (since both of them are writers). Though if Akyuu is Holmes, Keine would be an obvious choice for Watson. (But try to surprise me. )

[Orin Kaenbyou]

A good Holmes-Watson pairing I've heard of is Ichirin and Shou;
Shou = Holmes
Ichirin = Watson.
My friend told me about this, and I have to say it's quite an interesting one. I can honestly say I've never seen a kind of pairing like that.

Although, someone told me Nue and Mamizou would also work in that area, whichever way round. Not sure why

I have this uncanny knack for never getting to start on ideas. I'm going to shelve the whole Touhou x Holmes thing for a while and bring out something new.

Touhou and Paper Mario 1.

Of course, this won't put paper!Mario in the Touhou world. I have in mind Lady Bow, though. Just a simple "I got dumped in another world and I have to find a way out" plot, except for the fact that Bow doesn't actively try to find a way out, nor does she care at all. Will also feature Yuyuko (she's a ghost) and Remilia (same personality?) just to see how well I can contrast their personalities. This will mostly be a series of slice-of-life one-shots.

Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated. BUT I NEED THE COMMENTS OTL

I'm thinking about doing a TohouxAvantasia crossover, But replacing Lugaid and some other characters with thouhou characters. And of course Avantasia will be replaced by Gensokyo. There are other things that I'll have to explain like how does a character from current Gensokyo goes to the 17th century Europe and vice-versa.
This will be my first serius attempt at storytelling and I'm not sure of how it's going to turn out

[capt. h]

You know, half those characters were alive in the 17th century, and a number of them were probably in Europe at the time. Remilia and Flandre Scarlet were probably there when it happened.

Gensokyo is also fairly easy to explain if you take liberties with the canon. You are allowed to assume Gensokyo as it is existed in 17th century Europe, and even ignore things from canon that contradict the story you want to tell. Likewise for the Avantasia world/plot (admittedly, I am not particularly familiar with that canon, and only looked it up in response to reading your post). This is because the world you write doesn't have to be exactly the same as the world you're basing the story on.

[The Duke]

I think I have most of it sorted out.

Patchouli is in the 17th century Europe trying to retrieve a book that the church stole from the one that she borrowed to (She managed to get there after casting a time warping spell she read of in one of her books). She is cougth and then sent to the prision where she is locked until Gabriel (the main character, a dominican novice) is also sent there. The high-ranks of the monastery take the book to the pope, who has a plan to seal the land ilumination (Gensokyo).  After that they escape but its too late to retrieve the book as the book is already in the pope's hands and so she must send Gabriel to Gensokyo. She does that using a spell that separates his mind from his body, and he appears in current Gensokyo with a body that is the projection of his mind (Kind of like Maribel, but he comes from the past and not the future) at the same time that the pope and his companions. There he meets with Marisa and Reimu who explains the situation and ask him to get the book back.

I won't give much more detail because I have just summed up half the story

[Nat Tea]

A simple request: A good title for this concept.

After running away from their hometown due to plans of it being militarized for the war, the Komeiji sisters take on a simple assignment to harvest Metatron, a highly valued ore with energy emitting properties which sells for a very high price in the market. They embark in their LEVs (manned robots, essentially) and search for the ore when Satori finds something of extreme value buried deep inside the earth: an abandoned Orbital Frame (an advanced version of an LEV that uses the aforementioned Metatron as a power source) codenamed "Janus". Unfortunately, a small squad of authorities soon find them and with the sisters mining without a license, the two are branded as criminals. Of course, the worst crime they decide to commit in front of the police is getting in the Orbital Frame and making a hasty escape with what could probably be top secret technology they were never supposed to have. In their reluctance to become involved in the war, the Komeijis now have the tool that could end the war, but which side would they take, the side of the Earthlings (the ones who decided to stay on Earth, with the Witches of Four led by Byakuren) or the side of the Enders (the ones "at the end of civilization" that decided to leave Earth and go beyond to find new resources, with the Meliorists led by Miko)?

Was going for "Iris Drops: Depths of the Peerless Consciousness" but sounds weird.

okay I'm done rewriting it, it should look a lot better now, help please okay thanks <3

also rdj doesn't have anything to do with it :clapclap:

UPDATE: Never mind, I found a name that works! Disregard this post.
