===MK vs SF===
By ByrdBrain
1) What made you think of making this fanfic?
The main inspiration dates back to the old rivalry these two games had along with the lack of notable fanfics despite the timeless rivalry between the two franchises it always interested me how the fighters would interact among one another what kind of alliances or animosity would brew between them.
2) You made the story revolve around MK2 and chose to pit the heroes of MK and Street Fighter against the villains of MK and Street Fighter. Why not do it similar to MK bs DCU?
Actually it technically takes place in the new timeline of mortal kombat 9 which explains Raiden's visions, but to answer your question the reason why all the heroes are teaming up against the villains was to deviate from the traditional universe A vs universe B then have em team up and take out the true threat formula. mind you i almost went through with it since my original plot was to have both worlds blackmailed into joining the tournament and which ever fighter from whatever world won their world would be spared while the other would be conqured but i felt that that plot wouldn't bring out the characters' personality as much as my current plot so there.
3) How did you decide the roles and battles of each character while writing this?
This was possibly one of the tougher parts of my story. good rival choices of both series are more often than not part of the same alignment so it took some time working around to get it right like Jade vs Vega or Guy vs Scorpion. for the roles i simply kept the mk charcters' roles intact from canon as for the street fighter characters i had to bend a few of em from canon since so little are directly opposed to the main villian of the series.
4) I see that you've also added Raiden's visions into the story. What made you decide to add them?
Initially it seems like Raidens visions would play a role but when the two worlds started merging that all changed. in a way i wanted the characters of Street fighter altered some of MK 9's events (ie Guy preventing Sub-Zero from being taken, Dhalsim wanting to free Ermac, Seth being apart of Mileena's creation etc). and in turn causing the Thunder God to have a new mysterious vision. i believed it was interesting idea to implement plus it struck my fancy in how the street fighter characters would adjust to events similar to the mk characters
5) Which chapter was your favorite and why?
This is a tough one i don't have a favorite, but the few chapters i do like are chapter 6, 10, 11, 12, and 13 since thats were the most notable interactions take in my opinion.
6) Who do you think would win in a fight: Shao Kahn or Seth?
If it was Khan and Bison it would be to close for me to call but since it's Seth i have to say Khan, tough seth would give him a tough time.
7) What do you have planned for the future of you story, without spoiling it of course?
If you recalled chapter 11 you notice the strange vision Raiden has i'll let you think from there but i can say in the future i will delve deeper in both respective franchises' lore and expand some relationships even further though i am still unsure about the latter.
===Resident Evil: The Rebecca Trilogy===
By iViTal
1) What made you think of making this fanfic?
To be honest, I had no interest in the Resident Evil franchise until the RE6 Thread was created on this site. I was hyped from the trailer, and I asked Shirayuki Mizore to summarize the main storyline to me, his small summary was very interesting and I decided to give the series a try. As of now I finished RE1, RE3, RE4, and 5. So a week later after finishing RE3 and learning the characters and what not, Rebecca Chambers really stood out from the cast. She's 18 years old and a expert in First aid. After the Mansion incident Capcom never revealed what happened to her. The RE wikia says she's still alive, so I'm really hoping she makes an appearance in future RE games. She was a playable Mercenary in Mercs Reunion in RE5, and there's rumor about a RE:Revelations Sequel so I'm crossing my fingers that she's the main Protagonist.
2) How did you come up with the horror elements of the story?
Most of my ideas came from the classic RE games. When you think of a Zombie Apocalypse, usually the first thing that comes to mind is a Dark city where the dead roam free. So it was a piece of cake imbedding that into my readers mind. I tried my best to keep Rebecca alone through out most of the story. Solitary confinement is key for horror.
3) Rebecca's role in the RE games was much shorter than other major characters. How did you come up with the way Rebecca reacts in every situation?
Her personality from the RE1 and 0 Helped a lot, The I tried to put myself in Rebecca's shoes and thought about how she would handle the situation alone.
4) Adding the USD Delta members into the story was a surprise, since they were only spin-off characters. What made you decide to fit theminto the story?
I added them to make my story stand out from just being a RE2/3 Remake staring Rebecca. Keep in mind that it was made before Operation Raccoon city released, and one thing that I noticed is that it was pretty close to the actual storyline of the game. Christine, or Four-eyes gave me a chance to extend the story out of Raccoon city.
5) Which chapter was your favorite and why?
Another tough question Lol, but I would have to say Chapter 2. It's during the Outbreak and it's full of suspense because you have no clue to knowing what happens next, I tried my best to give a good description of the City so it wouldn't be the generic dark city with crashed cars and Zombies are around every corner and I think I did a good job at delivering that.
6) Did you added anything from the other RE media that has improved your story?
Other than the USS, that's about it.
7) What do you have planned for the future of you story, without spoiling it of course?
The story is very close to ending, but there will be a Sequel coming in October. Rebecca will be in the City of Tall oaks USA. It's
going to be a "What If" Story with her in it, Alone. Other Characters will make Appearances and Cameos but this story is going to be mainly focused on Rebecca. So look out for that in the future.
===Mortal Kombat High School===
By YungQ94
1) What made you think of making this fanfic?
Honestly I never thought about making this fic. It was all Havok's idea. I was working on my first fic and he approached me with this idea and I said yes. Didn't think it would go far but it went pretty far.
2) I always thought Mortal Kombat would always be about adventuring, martial arts, and kicking tail. What made you think of making the franchise's brutal fighters into a bunch of typical high school students?
True MK is about fighting but I like to think outside the box. I mean come on, another fic with action and fighting? Although very nice ideas from those fics I like to use my own flavors. Not to mention the fact that I am a high school student writing this fic haha.
3) How did you come up with the personalities and relationships of the characters?
Again thinking outside the box. The whole plot was to give these guys different starts. Hence the fact that Scorpion isn't pissed off most of the time. Besides, having the same personalities while in high school would be a bit stupid. For relationships that one came through writing the story. Like Liu being turned down by Kitana to end up with Li Mei just made itself through the writing. Of course predictable things like Scorpion and Mileena came through things like the Challenge Tower gimmick. I would have to say that the most unpredictable relationship would be Johnny and Skarlet.
4) Your fan base is really high. Is that what made you decide to make a season 2?
Sadly no. I was going to make the story regardless but the reason why I started season 2 is because I forgot there was two semesters in a school year. So basically I dun goofed :laugh:
5) Which chapter was your favorite and why?
I would have to say the chapter where Smoke gets together with Jade. I liked it because it was straight from the heart in a sense and came out pretty well.
6) Kahn is a principle? Why didn't you make him an ex-principle or have the students run him off?
Why is Khan a principle? Honestly I have not the slightest clue :laugh: Honestly, with him being Outworld's leader it just made sense to me.
7) What do you have planned for the future of you story, without spoiling it of course?
Once we get the ball rolling for MKHS, expect more comedy, more oh shit drama moments, and more high school experiences.
