Not A Sidekick anonymous July 22 2011, 05:46:33 UTC

There was a prompt last part where Robin was a secret league member. I really want a fic based off that, because no matter what Red Arrow may claim, Robin was never a sidekick. Because you know he had to have known about the Watchtower, you know he probably knows every single league member personally, and Batman would not just have measly sidekick, he'd have a kickass partner.

A fic representing this, please.

Bonus: he was given the "tour" to appease the sidekicks.
Double Bonus: He was placed on YJ to keep an eye on their training (He's the secret mentor.)

Re: Not A Sidekick anonymous July 22 2011, 19:53:37 UTC

Yes, please. :)

I'm glad my prompt inspired this one. Mine had a tentative claim by Rush, but it seems like she's been missing from the scene for a while. So hopefully someone will fill this.

Seems like the meme has slowed down a lot since previous parts, sadly enough. I think the whole fandom lost momentum. Can't wait till eps pick up again after the summer and rekindles people's interest.

Re: Not A Sidekick anonymous July 23 2011, 06:10:33 UTC

YES! I totally suspected he knew about all that stuff and was very much accepted by the League, and I'm likin' both yours' idea (STUPID GRAMMAR) much better.

Re: Not A Sidekick anonymous July 24 2011, 23:05:34 UTC

Great promt is great

Re: Not A Sidekick anonymous July 27 2011, 05:37:43 UTC

Batman would not just have measly sidekick, he'd have a kickass partner.

...This is truth.
And I am tentatively interested in writing it.

OP anonymous July 27 2011, 18:58:39 UTC

Looking forward to whatever you can put out :)

TentativeAnon: I hate word limits. Really lj?

Dynamically Duo-ing

It's interesting that no one's thought to call him out on it. The hints are there, sprinkled in every report and within every story.

Gotham's very own Dynamic Duo

The Caped Crusaders

Batman and Robin

It's expected, being that he's a younger man attached to a much more experienced figure. Batman is the one who strikes fear into the hearts of criminals, and as a rule, a mere shadow of his pointed cowl, and baddies run for the sewers.

Robin is the one who appears to exchange witty quips and draws attention (they think unknowingly, unwisely) with his bright costume and cheerier persona. He came second, and everyone thinks he's either Batman's son or some kid he keeps with him so that his kiddie brand of vigilantism doesn't end up with his brightly-colored corpse in an alleyway, just another number to record.

One is the mentor and the other the sidekick.

At least, that's what they think outside of Gotham ( ... )

A Partner 1b/? anonymous July 27 2011, 20:29:52 UTC

The Duo are equals. Age is but a number between them, and experience their only difference, but Robin learns quickly, devours every lesson Gotham doles out (like a mother at supper time) with a hunger only rivaled by his partner. He also brings his own skills to the war, his dexterity and intelligence an incredible boon to his partner.

Robin sees this city spiraling downward...falling so fast , like it’s a puppet whose strings have been cut, and he knows what he has to do. He had been given the chance once to be happy and normal, but the city took it away. She called to him like she called to her native son, knight and prince, and then another soldier was drafted into the war.

A child is only a child when they have innocence and believe the world is balanced on the shoulders of fair and caring, if not flawed, gods. But Robin became Gotham's child and saw that Atlas wouldn't stop shrugging, shaking with the need to toss off his burden and leave the world behind. He learned that paranoia was justified when the world was actually out ( ... )

My thoughts on fill. :) anonymous July 28 2011, 04:29:40 UTC

Oh my God-YES! Someone finally filled it (and still has more to go!) //happy tears ( ... )

Re: My thoughts on fill. :) , WriterAnon response anonymous July 28 2011, 06:19:08 UTC

Thank you! I saw your OtherOP prompt a while ago while I was creeping on this meme (finally got the courage to post something...this), and wondered desperately why no one was filling it.

Then I saw this, and decided I'd have to make it if it wasn't going to come to me.

There are more than 10 parts in the planning stage, if you wanted to know, and I've tried to keep to the characterization of the YJ!Robin (word puns and bantering and flippy-fun and all). I'm more of an animated universe person than a comics, so most of my inspiration comes from that.

Hope you like what's coming up. Next chapter has Bats and Rob duo-ing it up in the Batcave.

Re: My thoughts on fill. anonymous July 28 2011, 21:57:51 UTC

The words '10 parts in the planning stage' has me grining like a madwoman. You are too awesome. Fact.

Taking your reponse into accout makes me even more glad that you decided to fill this. I know what you mean when you read this prompt that you really like and no one's filling! There's a lot of prompts I'm interested in... that I think I can write... but would rather have someone else write it. That's awful, I know. But I take more pleasure from reading someone else's work than writing for other's entertainment. A friend of mine is my opposite who likes writing, but doesn't so much like reading a lot of fics cause it doesn't go 'his way.' Weird, us two, huh. So I have this big appreciation for writers due to the amount of time, effort, and creativity to make a story engaging. And I am going waaaaay off topic. Let me cut it short and say: can't wait for more! But I will, no choice. Great stuff. :)

Re: My thoughts on fill. (TOP) anonymous July 29 2011, 07:44:14 UTC

'Ten parts' also made me veryhappy and excited :)

OP of this prompt anonymous July 28 2011, 07:13:00 UTC

I agree with other OP, this is amazing.

I love how you portray Gotham, how it really is and how this affects Robin's journey so far in the jerking business. The wordplay is beautiful and I'm looking forward to scenes from the Batcave (and do I sense some Leaguer!Robin?).

(At OtherOP) I read Linchpin! I loved that story :). I've always thought that with Robin having been there for several years he would have gained more respect and been recognized as something more than a measly sidekick, especially if he can hack into high security systems like the Batcave Computer and CADMUS.

Can't wait!

Other OP <--haha i love these names we're going by anonymous July 28 2011, 22:06:18 UTC

You would think so, right? Robin has so much potential, I think. If he wasn't meant to progress "slowly" in every canon series, I believe he would surpass a lot of people's expectations. But that of course is still a tweaked more superior Robin. Gosh, someone has to do him justice. For now, I'm content and realistic enough to enjoy his other sides through fan fiction.

I miss Linchpin. It's unfortunate that Lily has the biggest writer's block ever. She's tried though, from what's been said on her DA. I hope she gets the motivation to finish it. I would love to see it to the end.

This OP (TOP?) anonymous July 29 2011, 07:42:14 UTC

Thank you! In stories, people alWays down play Robin, but it gets more annoying when people try to make other characters like him and take away his uniqueness. He's obviously a genius and an Olympic level acrobat/aerialist/gymnast so why don't they give him credit????

I've been wondering why Linchpin hasn't been updated. Sadness, but alas, I feel for her. I'm stuck on my writing of my own story. Good thing is ive been having inspiration for other stories and I think with my new story Imma have Robin at his full abilities. :)

And, Other OP, your prompt was amazing. I only reposted because I couldn't get your idea out of my head. Give yourself credit.

Re: Other OP <--haha i love these names we're going by anonymous July 30 2011, 02:29:51 UTC

I totally agree with you guys! Love Robin and love Linchpin and the prompt! I found an EPIC fanfic with simular themes if you don't mind me dropping a fic rec here: http://m.fanfiction.net/s/6478556/1/ essential it's a "what if" Robin didn't get out of that blackmail with DeathStroke on the Teen Titans and was forced to become Slades apprentice. It crosses over this Young Justiceverse (a few chps in there are mentions), Batman, the Justice League, and Teen Titans.
