[bsd] fic: psycho-pass au
Jan. 11th, 2019 02:54 pm I need a title for this thing, but anyway...ever since last year, I've been planning on writing a multi-chaptered Psycho-Pass au for Bungo Stray Dogs. I made an outline and then left it for a variety of reasons, the most pressing being that I had two multi-chapter fics going on at the same time. I still do, but I want to finish one by March and the new Psycho-Pass material is coming out later this month, so it would be nice to post the first chapter of the fic at that point.
I ended up writing a one-shot in October that was meant to be a prequel for this fic, but without really looking at the outline. In the outline, I hadn't put Dazai and Chuuya's backstories, so this fic was basically that. What I didn't know is that the fic completely threw off the original outline.
I went to check it today to start writing and just realized that, and have had to redo the outline. I'm actually happier with this outline, because in the first one there were things happening that I don't really understand, like making the Port Mafia the main antagonist when I didn't really want to. I think it's because the outline was written before Dead Apple/Fifteen, so while I used inspiration from those two in the prequel fic, I hadn't used it in the outline. Now that I know more about a lot of things, I can use those things in the new outline.
Both versions start with Odasaku's death though!
I think the second outline can actually ask more interesting questions with Chuuya's background being what it now is, so that'll be fun. And now that I know more about Fyodor, I can write him. I recently rewatched s1 of Psycho-Pass and Fyodor and Makishima are pretty similar, though their objectives would be different. Shibusawa is useful in his own way, too. I can use the theme of him collecting things.
I'm really excited to write the fic! It's a challenge for me since it's more plot/world building focused even if I'm using someone else's world. I still have to mould it into a way that fits the BSD characters, and I have to actually make the plot work, which is hard. Plot is not my thing, but fanfic is good for developing skills and this is a fun way to do it. I can only hope it's satisfying to people who like both BSD and Psycho-Pass!
