sfdjslfjasl so that photoset did bring in more readers... thank you! i really hope you enjoy it and that it doesn't disappoint you. let me know what you think after you finish, okay?
the terms are mine. i spend hours toiling over asian language dictionaries trying to come up with combinations that not only sound good but are somewhat easy to pronounce and appropriate to their definitions.
the caste system was modeled after WRAETHTHU's caste system. i changed terms and abilities, elements, focuses, etc. i tried to give it more structure, so that it was a concrete diagram and not as vague as Constantine's was.
lol I spy Uigenna and Unneah for the gangs, among other similarities. :3 Jiscada sounds a lot like Sahen with hints of Fallsend. I'm intrigued. *goes off to read*
omgsh I am so excited that someone wraeththu saavy is reading this fic! i hope you're not put off or offended by some of the differences here...while there are some aspects/parts that are exactly the same, there are also things that have been changed, added and left out altogether.
actually, i've only met one person from the wraeththu fandom in my life since i read the books years ago, and that was the person who recommended them to me. are you also in kpop fandoms?
Actually, the differences are what I find interesting, lol. I was kind of... confused by the almost exact replicas of some scenes, but I'm guessing you were going for a pseudo-fusion crossover, yes?
Thus far, I'm 99.9% sure the cast is as follows (I'm on chapter 7 at the moment): Eunhyuk - Calanthe (not quite as much deadpan snarker, but he's suitable) Donghae - Pellaz (though less of an insufferable git, yay!) Sungmin - Seel (also not as annoying, woo) Shindong - Flick Jay & Jungmo - Mur & Garis Heechul - Orien (this made me go O_o and then giggle) Siwon - Thiede (lol, his ego, right?)
Edit: Oh, and Jiscada's a mashup of a few cities, by level. lol Immanion = Aethere.
Edit #2: Gah, sorry I keep adding to this. Yes, I'm sorta into Kpop. XD More VK/Jrock than Kpop, but I'm familiar with a few groups like SuJu and DBSK.
Yes...tbh I didn't really sit down and think, "what kind of crossover do i want this to be" or "how similar/different." I'm just kind of writing it with the book next to me at all times and letting the chips fall where they may, if that makes sense.
i actually think i had intended for it to be more similar originally then it turned out to be. when i first was like "okay so i finally want to write this" i had been picturing it being exactly the same just in a different, smaller-scale setting. but finishing the very first chapter threw that notion out the window and i knew it was going to divert from storm constatine's original everything.
as for the characters, yes! that is correct :3 obviously i had to change the character personalities from their wraeththu counterparts to match up with their SJ personalities, elsewise it really wouldn't be a fanfic. i had a really hard time deciding who would play what role for this, since wraeththu has such a huge cast (obviously, it's a novel).
