| Now, as I was wasting time on MAL (once again), as I stumbled upon this post: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=706743&show=20#msg27011549 At first, it struck me as odd. Then I thought about it, and can't decide whether it's a horrifying, genius or just stupid idea. Or all of the above. I may not be a much of a fanfiction writer myself (which is why I'm not going to bother to write according to this idea), but I do know that some people write fanfiction about real life people, like celebrities, historical figures and such. And while MAL may not be on exactly same level as those examples, might I point out that there's been, and probably always will be, fanfictions about a lot more unorthodox subjects. However, it's always dodgy to write about real people. On the other hand, the most that these possible writers would get out of the said people in this scenario would be limited to how they act with their internet identities, along with bunch of stuff they've decided to reveal about themselves on a forum such as this one. I did not reach a conclusion in my pondering. So naturally, the next logical step was to create a MAL-thread. Opinions? |

Forgetfulness said: I didn't even know it exist before it get deleted. Someone must have screenshoot of it somewhere.A while ago, there was a MAL wiki about the users of MAL, but I think it got deleted It was mostly based off how people acted on the forums, like MellowJello being an attention whore or Red_Keys over-sympathizing with imaginary 13 year old boys. Sadly (or should I say fortunately?), I didn't have a page |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| If this plan bears fruit, I call first dibs on being in a fanfic with MelJel. But yeah, I say go for it. They'd be a pretty interesting read if I do say so myself! :3 |

Perhaps if I finally manage find the right category on Fanfiction.net. That, and research. |

| that sounds pretty hot |
an egomaniac and a fool |

Battlechili1 said: Fanfic of MAL members? I'm for it, as long as the users written in it give the writer permission. That's one of the issues I mentioned in the OP. There's always people who will write about people, regardless whether they have given their blessings or not. Of course, if there is a hypothetical place for these hypothetical things, it could possibly keep track of hypothetical people who have given their blessing. Dark_Chaos said: Kousoku11 said: You make it sound like I'm the one doing the writing. Well if you won't, then who will? Kind of silly to present the idea of this if you're not gonna step up to the plate :/ Which is why I brought up the possibility in my first response to you. |

| I'm in (as a reader). I would totally look forward to an ero-guro romance fanfic featuring Xinil and SSJMaster. |

| I wrote my first published fanfic when I was 14 so I'd never be against something like this, sounds fun |
  |
| Personally I want to see a Harem MALFiction, as long as im included of course. |
|
| If someone doesn't write this I will be extremely disappointed |
JD2411 said: If someone doesn't write this I will be extremely disappointed There's always someone who has motivation, (enough) skill and (enough) free time, believe me. Or at least there will be now, now that I threw the idea out there. |

Asap_ said: Battlechili1 said: If I'm not the harem king, I'm going to derail the shit out of all your threads.A fanfiction is incoming now. I'm writing it. Soon....Keep watching this thread...and it'll come. The plot thickens. Anyway, you should probably post it on the creative section, seeing that that's the proper place for them. You can post the link here though. |

| I swear I'll go full yandere if im not in it. |

That can be easily solved by using OC based on people you know. For example, my MAL fanfic is about the forbidden love between MellowYellow, it rhymes, and Reg_Keys, a concept in computer systems; so you don't have to worry about how close your characters mimic reality. |

Forgetfulness said: Battlechili1 said: I can't believe this is actually happeningForgetfulness said: Maybe you guys can set it up so that different people can edit it and it will be a community effort. But someone will also have to keep track and save it so that some dumbass doesn't delete it all. We can do that. We can do it in chapters. I'll make a thread in Creative section of MAL once I've finished the first chapter of this story. It can be filled with the adventures of many MALians. I'm still writing it right now though, so give me a little time. It won't be too much longer... Is this going to be a bunch of random little stories or will it have an overarching plot? I'll say. I thought that people would be a lot more resistant. I guess I've underestimated those people (and I ain't complaining about it). For your question: I didn't even think of the latter option, as my starting point of view was... well, fanfiction. I'd say it could go either way, or both at the same time, depending on whether or not people start to plan this. And considering how this thread has progressed during the last two hours, I'm not going to rule out any options. |
|
| The sad thing about this idea is I already know exactly who I'll get paired with. |
| I'm dead. Don't come looking for me. |
| MAL-tan kawaii |
Battlechili1 said: http://myanimelist.net/forum/index.php?topicid=707103 It is done. And thus, after 3 hours from the creation of the topic, MAL-fanfiction is officially a thing now. Also, I actually like it. It's not what I expected, in a good way (both on quality and the actual story, even though a bit short (for now)). So much of delicious meta-stuff just waiting to occur. Maybe I'll add something as well, once I've slept over night. PS. You could probably link this thread to the beginning, so that people who are wondering about it can find the source easier. |

Well he did do it in about 2 hours, which isn't much time, and felt inclined to include more users than needed for such a short fanfic. Considering all that, I think he done very well. Now, if someone were given far more time and used less people so that they would be focused on, I could see this becoming interesting :3 |

| Ship me with Luna or Suzune or there's no deal. Alternative paring: Gender bender Beavis. |

| Fanfic writers are the lower class in the writers' world... But OT: This is a gay idea, but I'm up to it. |
I luv u |
| It'd probably be shitty with the grammar skills of some MAL-ers. I'd probably be excluded from it, but I guess I'd be up to it. |

XVIII said: No one should be paired with me. Fixed that for you. |

| Seeing as I am a weird stalker like person who mostly just reads other peoples posts rather than commenting myself I would totally read it. Yaoi like situations are a plus. |

| my avatar is the bus driver from Rosario + Vampire |
| There are so many real events that these fanfics can be based on; Bloodcalibur's gay relationship with Katsucats, Randomchampion's gay obsession infatuation with Bloodcalibur, Immahnoob's unrequited love for Nicole, Jenny being a trap, Mellow being a trap, theautocrat & Infiniteryvius incident, all of the users who suffer from GOTIS. |
| Konbu is important |
| Forget the fanfics, a TV series centered around the community would be hella fun. All we need is some rich member to make it happen. Step right up, Game of MAL is going to happen. It needs to. |
 |
| I think it could be pretty cool, if done right. |
