Final Fantasy 14 Fanfiction/ Fan art?

[EA9Sol]

Like the title says: Do you read/write any fanfiction and or draw fan art?

I try to write some fanfiction, but seem to be getting writer's block from time to time. I have one chapter written about my character: Eden, but I haven't been able to continue. Also written some fanfiction for my FC mates. lol XD It was fun and they all seem to enjoy it. Even though I don't think it was good.

I'm actually writing a Pokémon / Final Fantasy fanfiction. I stopped several years ago because I couldn't come up with anymore ideas, but I'll be starting again since I've thought up some new things. I actually have Pokémon fighting alongside trainers who have taken up jobs (Warrior, Paladin, etc.) that are fighting against monsters (classic Final Fantasy monsters plus undead ones), rival trainers (for sport like PvP), criminals, and an evil organization / army (kind of like the Garleans and the "evil teams" in the Pokémon franchise; they create combinations of dark TMs that have forbidden and sacred moves, plus battle with possessed Pokémon that are not like the Mega Evolutions we recently got in the games).

But meh lol The story incorporates a lot of FFXI and FFXIV elements for the jobs that the trainers have. And no, this fanfiction isn't G rated as I've already had one of the criminals burned to death by a Pokémon attack.

lol Sounds interesting. Something I might want to check out. I do like Pokemon and seeing them take a FF job like paladin or ninja sound cool.

Well, the main character in the story is named after me, but this story takes place in the distant future. There was a landmass that formed in the Pacific Ocean (in the story) that was slightly bigger than Australia. It was supposedly created by the goddess named Altana (FFXI), but later in the story I am going to go into detail on how the continent appeared.

The main character's father was a Paladin in the continent's republic capital (which was an island off the coast of the continent) until he was called to the main land to fight in a war against the imperial army. The imperial army was started up by a general who was from the republic who had a dishonorable discharge, so he fled to the other island south-east of the continent. That other island was also a republic, but after twisting the politicians (kind of like how the Monetarists overtook Ul'dah in FFXIV; I actually came up with that idea WAY back in 2006, so it's like SE took my ideas lol) and overturning the government, the general made an empire and had more power than the royal family that ruled over the island nation. He also found "something" while excavating there on that republic island before his rise to power...it was a Protocrystal that had dark energy. Inside of the Protocrystal was ________ (not going to say which summoned creature from Final Fantasy lore was in it), and being taken under the general's control, it changed the whole country. Not going into any more details about it :P

Later in the story, the main character's Growlithe evolves into an Arcanine, and so the main character also becomes a Warrior and both fight alongside one another against opposing forces (be it criminals, monsters, or imperial soldiers). The Arcanine also enhances the main character's weapon. There are also Moogles and Chocobos in the story, too. Moogles are actually mythical and considered fairy tale characters, but in this fanfiction, they actually turn out to be real beings. The main character gets one, too. I also have Dragoons fighting alongside dragon-type Pokémon, and one character is a dragoon with a Charizard. There's also the usage of Linkpearls and a form of a "Free Company," but it's not like FFXIV's version (it's more like a group of people fighting for the common good or an organization, more like the Scions in FFXIV).

I gave up drawing many many years ago, so no fanart, but judging by the sheer amount of fanarts on devianart and the like, lots of people draw fanart :3
Even comics, for some.

I rarely read fanfiction in English (my native language is German) so I don't know if there are many? Haven't seen any in my language (yet) though.
Well, except for my own xD
I'm writing one lengthy one about the stuff that happened in 1.0 + some made up adventuring (but I'm really slow about it and it's annoying to read because there is no real main character since I didn't want to force my own character on the readers^^°) so that the story of 1.0 is never forgotten, but it's getting increasingly hard to keep it true to the material but still make it compatible with all the ARR changes^^°

Oh, and I have a few small ones; just short, general everyday scenes with NPC couples I like, namely Nanamo and Raubahn as well as Ellie and Briardien where I tried to capture the charm of these non-couples :3

If there is, where can I find it? (I mean besides Deviantart, because that place is just scary with all the MLP crap and Sonic recolors.)

You do realize deviantart has a search function, right? xD
Just type in 'ffxiv' and you won't see MLP or Sonic (since when has Sonic become a thing again anyway?o.O)

I enjoy some of those comics a lot, like Nomnom's (finished, sadly) and Red Mage vs. Blue Mage on Gamerescape. If you use google, you'll find a lot more.

And the tickling art....oh the tickling art, haha.

Seriously though, I'd love to see some more FFXIV fan art. The "Draw Your Character" Thread is one of my favorites on the forums. Some people are so talented and have such amazing work and I'd love to see more!

I write an in-character blog over at Lodestone. Since I'm nearing the end of HW there might be some heavy spoilers.

My girlfriend recently (like last year) got obsessed with the InuYasha anime, and has an anime crush on Sesshomaru. She now writes a fanfiction of InuYasha that deals with his mother, father, and brother. The anime has been done for 5 years now lol. Her fanfiction is written in Vietnamese because that's what she is, but I wish I could read it. Sometimes there is only so much you can do with a fanfiction with such little resources (like her's on InuYasha; I think it is hard for her to think of Japanese names and places, but she DOES live in Japan right now so that plays to her advantage).
