well this is an open forum for authors and not one section of the great fan fic world is excluded. Hummm wonder if??
So are then, any fellow Fruits Basket readers, fans, struggling authors? Out there yet?
If so I would love to trade ideas.

Fruit Basket is one of the animes/mangas I haven't touched yet... Sorry.  What ideas do you have? Anything that hasn't been done athousand times over? Or something that has been used often, but with a little tweaking, could be unique? |

Ooh, yeah, tweaking! Sorry, I've not been exposed to Fruits Basket either... Some helpful advice though, because I know you've read it... "Anything satirized in 'The Breakroom' aside from pairing choice, AU situations, or crossovers, may not be received as warmly as you might hope." There's always a way to teach an old dog new tricks, though, and and ever-changing audience to entertain. If worse comes to worst, you can at least throw your ideas at us and we'll tell you if we've seen it a million times.  |

Sorry, I know nothing of 'Fruit Basket' either.  But, even if you've got an idea that has been used before, it's till possible to do something good, if you want to stick to it. You can put in an unexpected twitch, or *just* write the idea in a better way than anyone else has done before.  |

Oops. Just noticed my answer was very similar to the answer OptiMoose gave. |

Oi... Weird minds think alike? ;D or is this a case of shared brain cell? |

I'd say, we went beyond greatness and crashed full speed into weirdness. *ego explodes* ;D |

I count myself a Fruit Basket fan. ^^
As for plot ideas, I really can't help you with some thing specific, but here are some general thoughts.
The one thing I'd really like to see is a fan fic that did a good continuation from the ending of the anime. Haven't come across a good read there yet. Mostly because the anime never resolves or reveals the truth about the curse, and all the fics I've come across do a lack luster job or ignore the issue all together.
My favorite FB fic took place from the POV of momiji's sister finding out about her brother. I really recommend it if you haven't read it yet. You can explore one of the ancillary to give a different view point or to simply flesh them out. There are lots of quirky characters that beg for more depth in furabara.
Does that help any or should I brain storm some more?

Salmastryon: Your idea of a story continuing from the end of the anime sounds like an interesting one.
therhoda: I have been meaning to ask, how much of the Manga have you read? I know it continues past the Animes' ending. Have you read that far, and if so, what are some things the Manga reveals?
Salmastryon: I really like Momiji. Can you tell me the name of the story and the approx. page it is on?

Well I have read translations up to the current chapter 97(mind screw that it was/is). The anime ends at about If I remember 48 or so. The last episode of the anime is so far from the manga most of the time I don't even think of it. Trust me I am not a manga only person. Some of the stuff that I write is written from both. Take Momiji, if you don't go through the whole summer beech house arc with him, you miss some of his character growth.
The thing with fic is you have to pick where in the story line you are. say for example My fic. It is after the anime but before the latest manga chapters.
ideas that I would love to see done in a fic that I will never be able to write myself, 1 the Yuki school council get active story. what does happen when Kazuma and Kyo spare for real? Does Kyo still get his butt kicked?
Salmastryon it sounds as if you need to wait till we know what happens to read fics. With chapter 100 coming up soon we are all hopeful at some kind of revalation.

I'm curious, why wouldn't you be able write those stories?
Wow, 97 chapters, and I'm just getting ready to read the 4th Manga. I have a lot of catching up to do. Where do you get your translations of the Manga? Have they hinted that there would be revelations in chapter 100? Or is that a hopeful guess?

Hope I live on hope. he last chapter was such a mind bender that I can not wait till 2 more weeks to see if it is something. Who knows though with 97 she blew all of us away! And No I won't tell You. I am not the type.
Well their used to be scanlations before it was licensed and I friend of mine had them all. Now I get a translation and a raw scan I basiclaly read one and look at the pictures of the other. Sighhhhh.
Anyway you get the gist of the beginning of the series in the anime.

cesmith: I can do better than that her is a link to its location on ffnet. The fic is Secrets of the Sohma by Aishuu. www.fanfiction.net/s/1051355/1/Enjoy!! therhoda: I don't think the manga needs to be finished to right a good continuation of the anime. I guess I just really haven't been looking that hard. All this talk is making me want to rewatch that anime and track down the manga. |
