coprime: two game-obsessed, winning-obsessed nerds (ships that I ship)
Friday, May 5th, 2017 04:27 am
Canon: Phantasy Star IV
Pairing: Demi/Wren
Canon Level: Colleagues

Yeah, I am not sure where this one came from, but I finished Phantasy Star IV wanting nothing more than for Demi and Wren to settle down together and build robots and/or androids as their substitute children. Demi's adorable and I want good things for her, and I think Wren could be a part of that. I've always seen Wren as someone who's stern and doesn't show emotions easily but who cares deeply about his friends and what's right. I think he'd be protective of her at first, but as time goes on, Demi would mature into herself and Wren would feel comfortable opening up to her as an equal. All while they worked together to fix the environment with their robot/android children. It would be so sweet!

None.

Hello dear Yuletide Author! Words cannot describe how excited I am that you offered one of my teeny fandoms. I love all these canons, so I'm sure I will love whatever you write me. I'm easy to please, I promise, so what I want most is for you to write a story that you like. If you already know what you want to write, go for it! If, on the other hand, you'd like a bit more diection, read on. (Warning: I got way more rambly this year than I have in past letters. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing yet.)

Final Thoughts: Thank you so much for offering to write one of my beloved fandoms, darling author! I know this is a long letter, but what I said in the first paragraph still stands. I am ecstatic at the mere idea of fic for me in one of my four requests, so if you already have an idea, go for it!




[1] A tool-assisted speedrun uses an emulator (and therefore save states and frame-by-frame progression of the game) to create a "perfect" game. I don't know if you're familiar with TASes or what the opinion of them is in the wider gaming community, but I think they'd be pretty decent for canon review. Personally, I find them neat because I find all the manipulation that goes on (lengthening the time between random encounters as much as possible, always getting critical hits, best walking path, etc.) really interesting. They're not a substitute for actually playing a game, but I don't think anyone in the TAS subculture claims it is. (I highly recommend the Super Metroid TASes and explanation about what they're doing as an intro to what TASes can do.)

The Breath of Fire III TAS is long, but the game itself is long. The TAS names Ryu "A" because that's two less letters for the dialogue boxes to print before they can be dismissed. For the most part, I was able to read the dialogue boxes just fine without pausing, but if you're a slower reader than me, you might want to keep the pause button at the ready.

The Phantasy Star IV TAS has no sequence-breaking that I know of, but the dialogue boxes go by very fast. You might want to keep the script open in another window if you watch.
