Megidolaon: a Shin Megami Tensei fan asylum

Hi everyone~. I'm new to the community here and glad I found it. I was hoping to come across a community for this game series and related. Whew! My job is fiction. -Sweat.- I look forward to posting current fictions from Y! on here soon. Nice to meet all. ^^

Title: A Pound of Flesh
Fandom: Persona 3
Characters: Shinjiro, Akihiko, Mitsuru
Rating: PG
Length: 1011
Warnings: Spoilers for September-ish, Shinjiro's attitude. This isn't a mug-of-cocoa fic.
A/N: Several: 1) This is canon. When was the last time I did that? 2) I've wanted to write this piece for a long time. 3) It's spawned of noticing the fact that almost all of Castor's attacks cost Shinjiro hit points, and even though he was my effing tank, I did have Aki and Mitsuru Dia-bombing him every five minutes because of that. I thought it would be interesting to look at that in terms of the character himself, rather than in a "Look, gameplay mechanics" way.

At the Kirijo mansion, the servants have the day off on Sundays.

I am a n00b to this community (found it today), and I come bearing fic!

Title: Mantra
Fandom: DDS 1 (and some foreshadowing reference to 2)
Spoilers: Takes place near the end of DDS1, and has some heavy references to in-game bosses, gameplay, and the end-game face of the Junkyard. Do not read if you haven't finished at least the first game and don't want to be spoiled.
Summary: Heat is a study in contradictions, but this is only the beginning.

( Follow the fake cut! )

I know this isn't really fanwork and I'm not a fan of off-topic posts myself, but some of you mentioned they were interested in this game, so I decided to post the news here anyway instead of trying to figure out who said what when and informing you individually. If that's not okay, please let me know and I'll take the post down asap.

So, you've probably hear of Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online, the MMORPG set between the plots of SMT and SMT2. (Though I doubt you'll need knowledge of the first game to enjoy this one.) Now, I'm not normally that much of a fan of online games (even though I occasionally enjoy Guild Wars quite a bit), but this one is free-to-play, which is why I decided to check it out anyway. Can't hurt, right?

Well, the reason why I'm writing this post is this: The game has recently (Dec. 2nd) entered closed beta and that would normally mean that we mere mortals have no real chance of playing it. However, filefront.com has (apparently quite a lot of) beta keys to give away, which is how I got in, so I figured I might as well share the link with you all. ^_^
If you click on it, you will be taken to a download page for the client (1,3 GB, took me about one and a half hours to download) that also includes a key generated for you to create a beta account.

Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online's official page can be found here while the beta download/key link that I keep talking of is this one. (Sadly, the game seems to run only on Windows XP and Vista as of now.)

I haven't played much yet, but the controls seem to be quite intuitive and the graphics are nice and definitely keep the style we're used from other SMT games. ( For example, this is my character at the log-in screen )

( That hurts like a bitch... )

I started playing Shin Megami Tensei (as in, the first one for the SNES) a little while ago and when I stumbled across some of the game's artwork, I just couldn't resist the urge to make icons. They're all rather simple but I thought I'd share them anyway. (If someone would like to use them as bases for their own icons, sure, go ahead!) Images used come from both the original game's artwork and the newer pictures of the PSX port.

Teasers:


( 15 little icons, hee ho! )

I'm wondering, has someone else here played the game and wants to share their knowledge? Anything I should keep in mind? (Do the different paths vary in difficulty?)
It's an old game showing its age, but I like it a lot so far. Taking screenshots while I go, I squeed when I saw the "city map" that is so familiar from early Nocturne. Wait, shouldn't it be the other way around?

Almost two months ago, laylah posted about some ideas for a Persona-3-as-Kingdom-Hearts AU.

I said I wanted to do some designs for it, but I would be slow -no working scanner, no Photoshop.

Character: Mitsuru
Fandom: Persona 3 / Kingdom Hearts
Rating: G. Totally worksafe, it's just the final design.
Warnings: Sucky Photoshop skills.
