Idea for a possible series of fics: "Wishmaster"

Hmm... this is something I've considered for my LH darkfic...

Basically, there's this extremely powerful ancient... creature, shall we say, because she's not quite a vampire, despite often acting like one.

Anyway, she apparently is able to travel from reality to reality, and usually leaves her mark on each of them in often catastrophic fashion Examples:

-in LH's case, she indirectly causes the death of almost every Hinatasou resident when she turns little Shinobu in a vampire following a freak accident.

-in Sailor Moon she causes Crystal Tokyo to become a society where undead and living actually live in harmony after she turns Usagi in a vampire.

-in Ranma, she actually brings Soun's wife back from the grave, but her status as undead is apparent, since touching someone skin-to-skin for a prolonged period can cause weakness and even death (the classic D&D life drain that undead have). This in turn causes the three Tendo sister to develop different personalities, and ultimately changes the outcome of Ranma's first visit.

-in O!MG, she permanently gives Keiichi the power and position of the Lord of Terror, figuring that this would be a solution to the fact that he asked to be with Belldandy forever, but a mortal is not forever. This, however, causes a rift between the Norns and Heaven, and ultimately results in the destruction of most of Earth dutring a violent conflict between Heaven's forces and the Lord of Terror.

And so on. In all cases, she's simply the instrument of the change, and usually acts in response to someone's wish... she's basically like the Wishmaster movie's genie (hence the series' name)... she grants wishes, but the outcome may not be pretty.

This, as you can imagine, has potential. What do you think?

Hmm. So a multiverse fic? Sounds insteresting if done right. Which, more series... harder to do.

Well... The Wishmistress can travel from one universe to the other, so each 'book' would be separate. She can also, if she wants, rip elements from one universe and introduce them in another.

Hmm. Fatuous said that this idea would be better used as a series of unrelated standalone fics, and to avoid the Deus Ex Machina character. He thinks that some of the ideas have merit in themselves.

I might consider writing some of them...

Something in the Jusenkyo man style? Well it would be interesting to read.

I wouldn't recommend that, Jusenkyo Man's a terrible fic.

I mean, it's not even had an update for a year. And that wasn't one of the better/more popular arcs...

Hmm, I like the O!MG idea the most, the R1/2 one would be the only other one I might consider reading, the other two I just wouldn't be interested in whatsoever.

Heh, what are you talking about, I love Jusenkyo man, especially its eva arc, that one's the best in my opinion.
