Forums: 

     Just going to stick these here for the time being; don't mind me… Anyway, these are some story ideas I've had come to me. (They' re all free to borrow, 'steal,' riff off of, et cetera regardless of whether I personally end up following up on any of them or not.)


Ideas with their own threads:


     Additional individual ideas follow below.

Re: WhenCatsFoxesandWolvesFly's Story Idea Salvage Yard

     Originally from this post in the '[NSFW] Gender Bend Fic Discussion, Idea, Rec. thread,' also at QQ:


  • Kämpfer, but:
    • With a number of the changes suggested in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDthshhgcZ4
    • Better setup for the Moderators, though I haven't come up with what that might entail, if anything. The threat they pose doesn't turn out to have felt too serious in canon?
    • At least slightly deeper focus on how Natsuru handles adjusting to his sex swap, particularly in terms of:
      • him having a tad more control over how she ends up presenting herself,
      • actual partial reasoning for how she ends up acting as a girl even if its along the same lines as in the source material, or
      • some of both.
    • Better setup, payoff, and/or use for/of some lines, namely:
      • Natsuru's 'I feel dark' one (can't remember the exact wording) from…maybe episode 3, I think? It was when she was forced to dress up in some costumes at school.
      • Natsuru's offense at Mikoto's secondary reaction at finding out that he's a Kämpfer delivered when they retreat to a room to discuss it. (It struck me at the time I watched that part that this could have gone more like 'Hey, it's not like I asked for this!')
  • Cheeky Angel, but the incident that changes Megumi into a girl in the first place isn't by finding that sorcerer's book with a trickster genie inside, but instead one around the same time where her friend Miki, who knows he was once a boy after the fact either way, got held hostage and Megumi had to turn into a magical girl to save her, getting stuck female both in and out of transformation afterward. (Though I don't know what enemies she could fight.)
  • Ame Nochi Hare (Clear Up After Rain,) but the initial lightning strike doesn't start the characters flip-flopping sex to female when it rains until the change wears off and instead makes always-girl copies of them appear.
  • Princess Princess (including Princess Princess Plus,) but the 'princesses' of each cardinal compass direction actually live in a dorm that way from the school, all of which have magical elements that occasionally select candidate males from their resident populations to take on the duties of magical girls.
  • Reversible, a. k. a. Reversible School Life, but the students actually become girls instead of just crossdressing.
  • Either or both of the following, but the students actually become girls instead of just crossdressing:
    • Reversible, a. k. a. Reversible School Life
    • Armed Girl's Machiavellianism
  • Nozomu Nozomi, but changed to resolve the critique from this mostly on-point MyAnimeList review.
  • A gender-bender multi-crossover, involving at least some or all of:
    • Kämpfer (either canon or the fanfic idea above.)
    • The Cheeky Angel fanfic idea above.
    • The Princess Princess fanfic idea above.
    • Shishunki Bitter Change
    • Boku Girl
    • Maybe Click?
    • Kanaete Aizen, or Grant My Wish Aizen
    • Maybe Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl.
    • The Nozomu Nozomi fanfic idea listed above.
    • Maybe Osananajimi wa Onnanoko ni Naare.
    • May-be Akane-chan Overdrive?
    • Maaay-be Boku wa Mari no Naka, or Inside Mari, but without the twist revealed at the end. (I don't know if you could make a stand-alone fan fic out of this, so I didn't list it earlier.)
    • Perhaps Doll-Kara.

(You'll note I stuck with male-to-female — 'Males Cross-dressing,' 'Swap,' 'Male Beocmes Female,' and 'Male in a Female's Body' — entries from the MAL forums 'Organized list of gender bender/swap anime and manga' thread, and those that have gender-bending as a main focus not really sharing the spotlight with something else plot-heavy besides, but I suppose you could do what you wanted here. Anyway, characters would run into each other at points even if they didn't get involved in each other's/others' stories, and perhaps a support group for transformees might crop up?)


(Edit: The part of this which should've stayed quoted was previously in a block quote, but that eliminated some distinctions in italicization, so I replaced said block-quoting with delimiters in the form of horizontal line rules. Also edited a few times to fix some copy-paste errors introduced into the post's formatting when manually converting it over from the original BB code source to the limited HTML used here on the forums.)

Re: WhenCatsFoxesandWolvesFly's Story Idea Salvage Yard

     Actually, come to think of it, this thread might well fit better in the Writers' Forum. Let's see if I can move it there… (Edit: That move's now done, though I did leave a redirect 'shadow copy' behind.)

Re: WhenCatsFoxesandWolvesFly's Story Idea Salvage Yard

Originally from the quoted post in the SpaceBattles 'My Hero Academia/Boku no Hero Academia ideas and discussion, part 2' thread and cross-posted to that same forum's 'Unlikely situations to be found in magical girl anime (Ideas thread)' thread:

Here's an (admittedly kooky) idea: take the premise from the initial transformation event in I Can't Be a Magical Girl!! You, A Magical Girl Say…and proceed to take things and make them play out differently from there. I was thinking that one could superposition that story's version of Izuku's getting attacked by the slime villain over the canon one. He'd both get saved by All Might on time, as in canon…and not. This would create a second instance of Deku, but one would then make this double a girl full-time. The resulting antics between her and her original in still-male Izuku — not to mention everyone else — would be…interesting, to say the least. Also, I'd want a true magical mascot animal to be (edit: what ends up being behind) the voice that speaks to him and ends up being her magical mentor figure. (A talking watch just…doesn't — edit 3: quite — fit the magical girl theme — edit 3: exactly as is; it just feels too Madoka/Lovecraftian to me for My Hero Academia —, y'know…?)

(Up for grabs; I'm likely not doing my take on this any time soon — edit 2: though I do have a couple minor ways of fleshing this idea out a little if anybody's interested in me sharing them.)

Edit 3: I should clarify that the talking watch in the original source fic used as a jumping-off point here would ruffle my feathers a bit less if it was, say, a Nanoha-style Intelligent Device (or even just an actual weapon) with a Unison-Device–level AI. It could even project a mascot as its avatar if it wanted to that way.

Re: WhenCatsFoxesandWolvesFly's Story Idea Salvage Yard

     I think I'm going to mirror my crazy SAO OC-insert fusion multi-crossover idea thread over from QQ and create a copy of it here on the BCTS forums as a sister thread, if nobody minds. (Edit: This is now done.)
