We are venturing into the realm of "A No Tachiichi" fanfiction creation, observing the intricate themes of the original story, playing around with the character dynamics, speculating story developments, deciphering underlying metaphors, revising flawed plot points, and engaging in discussion based on the speculative outcomes.
Context
"A No Tachiichi" is a shoujo manga that introduces us to the mundane life of high school student Satoki Houma before spiraling into a parallel world where she surprisingly doesn't end up as the heroine. This twist lays the groundwork for our exploration.
This divergence from the traditional setup - where the protagonist is not the chosen one, opens up a riveting narrative path devoid of cliches. Most fanfiction would try to rewrite Satoki as the heroine but, let's channel the manga's spirit and remain true to her 'ordinary girl' roots.
Character Development
Satoki's unprecedented character evolution from a disoriented girl to a self-reliant person capable of surviving in this alternate reality is worth delving into. Expanding on her journey from an individual who constantly succumbs to her fate to someone who takes charge of her destiny and begins to actively participate in the various events of her life creates a striking narrative.
The relationship dynamics between Satoki and the "chosen ones" can also be explored. The unorthodox love triangle between the actual heroine, the villainess and the hero with Satoki joiing the mix as the friend's angle can lead to some surprising plot turns.
Plot Expansions
Existing settings and plot arcs provide a rich source for expanding the story. What if Satoki actually starts developing a fighting spirit under her non-heroine role? What if we delve deeper into the hidden politics and conflicts of the alternate world, giving Satoki an active role in navigating these complex scenarios?
The manga’s abrupt ending leaves room for various speculative continuations. We could continue exploring the consequences of the complications created in Satoki's romantic relationships, the struggles of her growth and survival in the parallel world, and the outcomes of her finally leaving the heroine's shadow and making a name for herself.
Alternate Universes
Alternate Universes (AU) offer liberty to diverge from canon. A school setting AU could bring new dimensions to the characters�relationships. Or a reverse-roles AU, with Satoki as a noblewoman, could create an entertaining shake-up. Navigating the societal pressures and class disparity in the AU will force Satoki to grow, further rejuvenating her character.
Using AUs to explore ‘what if�situations �like the roles being reversed or Satoki being the villainess, might lead to an unexpected characterization while always keeping Satoki grounded to her non-heroine reality.
Metaphors and Narratives
The narrative of 'ordinary girl in a supernatural situation' is a metaphor for an outsider struggling to find her place in the world. Beyond this apparent metaphor, the story hides subtle hints that can be built upon, like the dichotomy of good and evil as not just split between hero and villainess but prominently visible in every character.
Drawing on other less obvious metaphors like the 'parallel world as a representation for societal norms and expectations' can lead to more profound interpretations. Further exploration into the ingenuity of 'A No Tachiichi' is a rewarding experience, both for fanfiction writers and readers.
Exercise in Revision
Some consider the original manga flawed because of rushed and abrupt closure. Others complain about weak character development. Rewriting these errors not only improves the plot but also brings different nuances to light. Re-imagining the ending where Satoki could have a standout confrontation with the villainess or the hero's realization of her actual worth can bring a welcome change.
Fluid changes and revisions are key in fanfiction. The chance to mend and apply creative vision to an existing narrative allows us to challenge the original author and bring forth a more complex, holistic, and evocative storytelling experience.
