Template:Fairy Fiction/June 2014

  Carrot, what the hell is this? Welcome back

To be honest this month has been incredibly busy for me, and as such I haven't had much time to read fanfics.

Instead, I'm going to be showing you a Fairy Tail project by an artist that I was saving purely because I wanted more of it to be published, but, I'm thinking I'll show you now so that we actually have a good Fairy Fiction article this month :)

So~ This said, on with the show!

As always, if you are an avid fanfic reader and know of a great fic you'd like everyone to see, message me or talk to me in chat and I'll check it out and probably add it to my article :3

Kukukuku >:) 



Fairy Tail: Changing Fear, by FTCFic Erza - Azuma - Hades - A/U - Action - Drama - Unknown Rating "What if Erza didn't kill Azuma?" On Deviantart I monitor a group for Fairy Tail art and for some time I have constantly seen these manga pages being submitted. I sort of glossed over them and thought "whatever", but after this happening for quite some time I decided to fix my curiosity and see just what the heck these images were.

Much like Astrayeah, who I mentioned last month, there is a Fairy Tail artist on Dev who is writing his own dōjinshi for Fairy Tail, only he explores a completely different idea:

What if Erza never killed Azuma?

Yes, this dōjinshi is an A/U with the end of the Tenrou Island arc rewritten. It is heavily focussed on Azuma and what would have happened had his and Erza's battle never ended as it did, with him living.





Of course, the events that occurred on Tenrou would be dramatically altered, and FTCFic, being an Azuma fan, develops Azuma in an interesting way, exploring his background, life motives and reasons for joining Grimoire Heart, something Mashima never bothered to do.

As a big Azuma fan and a fan of the Tenrou arc in general, I found this idea incredibly engaging and well thought out. I, like the author, also wish that Azuma was more fleshed out as a character, and Changing Fear definitely strives to do this.

So, a great story, and I have to admit that the art is pretty darn impressive too. As an artist myself who sketches Fairy Tail characters in her spare time, I know how difficult getting good results can be, so I must tip my hat to FTCFic for many of his panels. There are definitely quite a few that demonstrate amazing talent, and FTCFic definitely becomes more refined as the chapters go on.



Oh, did I also mention that he completely explores the origins of Hades' Magic and the goal of Grimoire Heart in relation to the One Magic? No? Well he sure does :)

FTCFic, from what I have observed, publishes perhaps twice a month, though he usually does multiple pages at a time. So far, he has published around three chapters in total, but all are full-length and quite in depth. Again, I was hoping to look at this later when more was released, but it is still greatly entertaining, and a good read~

If you are an Azuma, a Hades or a Tenrou Island arc fan, or just like seeing Fairy Tail looked at in a different light, I would definitely recommend this :3

So, I hoped you liked seeing another artist's dōjinshi and I hope you'll check it out and make sure to comment on his work if you like it :D

I rate "Fairy Tail: Changing Fear" a N/A out of 10 hahahaha, because I like to actually finish reading fanfics (or manga in this case) before I rate them :P

You can read Fairy Tail: Changing Fear and see bonus pages and content, here on FTCFic's Deviantart page. The dōjinshi's first page can be found here.  Endword

Lemme know what you think~

Do you have an opinion on K-rated fiction (i.e: fiction with no age restrictions)? Hmmm... if it's appropriate for kids will it really be entertaining? Who cares, I'm sure there are some great K-rated fics :) I'd prefer more mature M (or at least T) fics Meh :/ As long as it's good, what does the rating matter?

Would you like me to continue finding these sorts of Fairy Tail projects? Yes please! They're really neat and I like seeing them~ I'd prefer just fanfiction from ff.net please I don't mind either way. A mix is nice ^__^ Perhaps you could expand out even further and find FT crossover materials and stuff like that? It all depends on what you show us, so I don't care really
