[Could Roy's yellow palette from Melee be based on Tia of all people?]

Dear god, I have no idea how Nintendo lost that suit.

[Can someone show me a good FE fic that isn't fluff or dead?]

@Ana: No self-promotion.

@Cam: Links pls.

[Do you want the Avatar to stay?]

Kay then.

So how do I upload crap to FF?

[why do people like Katarina?]

You do realize the alternative for a dismissive Big Bad is UNAVOIDABLE GAME OVER, right?

[So, what characters are recommended for a first HHM run?]

Anyways, you think Dorcas could've made it if his growths weren't absolute shit to counterbalance his good bases?

[Do you want the Avatar to stay?]

1: Because I have no idea how to write, and

2: I have no idea how to upload crap onto FF.net.

[Fire Emblem works best with a self-insert.]

Ana, you're being cowardly. Just admit your fic is AU. You won't be insulted for it, in fact the only reason we're focusing on it is because you're denying it so strongly.

@Rey: You have any links to the original Japanese dialogue of every moment with Ike and Elincia?

[Would character death work in fanfics?]

^ Does that phrase "insomnia" mean anything to you?

[Would character death work in fanfics?]

Bump because I'm looking for a fic that does this.

[Fire Emblem works best with a self-insert.]

...I'm just bored, okay? And wayyy too squeamish to look through the Pit of Voles.

[Can someone show me a good FE fic that isn't fluff or dead?]

If not, just ignore the "or dead" part.

[Fire Emblem works best with a self-insert.]

Yours is also painfully after-FE10 AU and an Ike/Elincia shipfic.

[Fire Emblem works best with a self-insert.]

My Tellius fic isn't Ike x Soren or involve Ilyana. :P

I like the idea of the Avatar, I just think it needs tweaking.

Maybe, but that's probably because you just wanna see more scenarios to fall in love with your husbando of the day.

And how is this any different from FE7 and FE13 fics, especially FE13? 99% of FE13 fanfics on FFN are terrible self-insert romance crap. Even the ones that aren't badly written all portray the avatar as the hero of everything and everyone else is just there for decoration. Besides, what's wrong with fluff?

Nothing. It's just that sometimes, I wanna read a fic that actually lasts more than 4 chapters.

[Who would you consider the better unit on HHM: Raven or Harken?]

Raven. Harken requires a few turn sacrifices on LTC, and generally doesn't have that good stats, even with HM bonuses

[Fire Emblem works best with a self-insert.]

8's fics are all fluff, and whatever Tellius fics that aren't Ike/Soren are Ilyana/the kitchen sink.

[Do you want the Avatar to stay?]

I'm laughing at that Silent MU.

This is exactly why I hate Silent Protagonists that aren't forces of nature.

[So, what characters are recommended for a first HHM run?]

Athos is there for a reason.

Regardless the Fire Dragon isn't really a problematic boss in the first place.

Athos only has 40 HP. Fire Dragon does 42 damage.

[Do you want the Avatar to stay?]

An Avatar usually chops the story in half by taking the spotlight and forcing any other characters(maybe besides the other Lord) far out of it. They don't serve many good purposes, and, in my opinion, most of the good purposes aren't justified by the plethora of bad ones.

What characters in the series have ever LOST screentime thanks to an MU? FE12 gave supports for everyone through MU when none of them had ANY screentime. Plus, in most games, only the Jeigan/Oifayes, advisors, and the lords get any real screentime consistently. FE8 had Seth as the only recurring character in cutscenes, and FE13 had only Frederick, Lissa and the khans.

Besides, I really want to read a good FE fanfic one of these days.

[Fire Emblem works best with a self-insert.]

Tell me exactly what good fanfics have come out of said settings.

edit: actually my point isn't really coming across from me being sassy there. I mean to say like, not all fanfiction is bad, but if you're dismissing everything outside of FE7/13 to immediately be "bad", chances are the quality of the FE7/13 fanfiction isn't any better en masse.

My point was actually that no one on FF.net makes fanfics about the Japanese games except for Sara_Jaye and Mark_Asphodel.

[Fire Emblem works best with a self-insert.]

And yet, all of the best fanfics for Fire Emblem come from the games with no self-inserts.

Tell me exactly what good fanfics have come out of non-Elibe, non-Awakening settings.

[So, what characters are recommended for a first HHM run?]

Fire Dragon.

Nuff said.

[Fire Emblem works best with a self-insert.]

I mean, look at the fanfic community. About 60% of the fics were all FE7, and even now it's still 40%.

And then look at FE8, with a measly 5%, while Tellius only has a crapton of Ike/Soren for 80% of its fics.

If the next game doesn't have a self-insert, the fanfic community will die out.

[Aether vs. Aggressor.]

What does EP and R2 mean?

[So, what characters are recommended for a first HHM run?]

So you actually trust his Speed stat to carry him, then? Do remember it's a mere 35% coupled with 25% Def and Luck.

[Aether vs. Aggressor.]

Plus, wouldn't the best bow class be Bow Knight or Bride?
