Interest in a... pre-DGM fanfic?

Before HUGE SPOILERS HAPPENED just this week, a friend and I had a lot, and I mean a lot of theories regarding the 14th, Mana, the past of Cross Marian and Allen Walker. Oh, and Maria!

However, well. The new chapter has kind of messed a good bit of it. Regardless, these are ideas we really feel uncomfortable just fading into dust. In the end, we still feel like they might hold some semblance of canon, depending on where Hoshino takes the story now. Whatever happens, though, these ideas are really shiny to us, and we've always wanted to put the out there...

This post is really just to ask you, if this was put into a fanfic (or knowing myself, a series of short drabbles, flashbacks of a sort), would there actually be any interest in it?

I foresee it'd mostly be Cross and Mana entric. It isn't like canon at the moment, I can tell you that, buuuuuut. We hopelessly cling, and at the very least, would like to share our ideas with fandom.

Okay, that's about it. ;

I feel horrible in that, despite writing fanfic I almost never read any but you're a very good writer, and considering some of the ideas I'd thrown around with you about Mana and Cross I'm curious to see what you and your friend devised. Specify that it's your branch off, and it still should be quite enjoyable for everyone (and just remind me if I don't see it posted to read it - soooo guilty of not).

No problem, man. And please do let me know. Just make sure to specify that this is what you've got as your idea, and you're aware of Hoshino branching off for something else and still appreciate her work.

Geez... I... feel now really guilty about not reading other stuff.

Oh! Hey, off-topic, if you're not busy could I conceivably run something by you involving a Cross action for AWMD? (I've got AIM and Yahell on, like always). Long story short, partner in crime is very much m.i.a. and I had what I thought was an awesome idea, but in general she writes more of the Cross ideas. I want to make sure I'm not out of my mind with this one.

That's the pity about the new and shiny canon developments...It'd be a pity to put the old theories to waste! Anyway, AUs are their own perfectly good category of fanfic. I'd suggest you go for it. (Though I'm not familiar with your writing, me being fairly new to the DGM fandom.)

AU's are awesome so I so go for it :D Hope to see the work soon :3

I would certainly be interested in it! :) No matter what the new chapter has brought up, it sounds like you and your friend put a lot of effort into plotting out the past of the 14th & Mana & Cross & Allen, and I'd really like to read about that. :)

Of course I would want to read a fanfic about that =). The new chapter has left me in despair xD.
