New community layout is done.

We're now caught up to the rest of the world with a nice, shiny S2 layout. The tags will now display correctly, and it shouldn't glitch in other browsers anymore.

Let me know what you think and if there's any problems?

This is the new rule post. These are the only rules aside from posting format, which can be found in the profile.

( 10 simple rules to avoid pissing off the mod (: )

Okay, so for the past... really long time, I have been sorely neglecting this community. So I've come to the decision that rather than shutting it down or abandoning it, what I'm going to do is make the community, basically, a claims-free fic community. All themes from past months are open, just keep the original 20-facts format. These "facts" can be sentences, short paragraphs, full-length fics, and so on.

I might post themes every once in a while, but I just wanted to thank all of the members for contributing and making this such a fun place in the Fire Emblem fandom! And I'm sorry for being such a crappy mod ):

In sum: Write what you want, keep with the format. No claims necessary. Enjoy yourselves!

I'll be editing the rules to reflect these changes for new members (:

Also, there will be a new, S2-type layout coming... soon. idk when, but sometime. Have a nice day! :D

Helooooo, dead com?

Title: Twenty Moments in the Life of Astrid Damiell
Author: Lazulidragon
Character:Astrid
Word Count:OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAND 9119
Warnings: A inordinately large number of OCs to fill out her family and such, one of whom is rather foul-mouthed, for which I apologize profusely.
Rating: PG-13?
Disclaimer/Notes/Whatever: I do not own Fire Emblem, nor am I profiting from this fanwork in any way. I'll bet you forgot I was even writing this, yeah? God knows I almost did. Originally I claimed this under the August theme list, but I kind of abandoned that a long time ago. Er, sorry. And I should probably add, spoilers for all of FE 9, and heavy influence from FE 10.

("I mean I will not marry him,” Astrid snapped, “and it does not matter what you say, I will not change my mind!”)

Title: Once Called a King
Author: measuringlife
Series: FE10
Character/Pairing/Group/Whatever: Pelleas, assorted hints of PelleasMicaiah And SotheMicaiah. Also various Almedha and Izuka.
Word Count: 3,002
Warnings: Possible spoilers
Rating: no more than PG
Disclaimer/Notes/Whatever: FE10 = not mine. This follows the second playthrough path, and probably has spoilers. The references to the “tale of the past lands” is Arthurian in nature because Daein is filled with people of Arthurian names. Seriously, Gawain, Pelleas – I even have a crack theory that the name Greil is actually a scrambled Japanese rendering of Grail. But seriously, digression, ‘that is another story’ etc.

( Once Called A King )

Title: Silver Secrets
Author: starlitlady
Character/Pairing/Group/Whatever: Seth, Seth/Eirika
Word count: 793
Warnings: None. :3
Rating: G/PG tops.
Disclaimer/Notes/Whatever: I don't own Fire Emblem. Also, King Fado, Eirika, Ephraim, Kyle, Forde, Franz, and Joshua make appearances. :D

( Seth, The Silver Knight )

Title: A Skeptic's Litany
Author: ergoipsofacto
Character/Pairing/Group/Whatever: Rennac, everyone he supports with except Tethys.
Word count: 1036
Warnings: None
Rating: Pretty sure this is a G
Disclaimer/Notes/Whatever: Don't own, not profiting, debt of gratitude to FEDR but seriously you can take my Rennac muse back any time you want. He's starting to sound like my uncle.

( In short, it’s hopeless and he isn’t even going to try anymore. )

Title: Map the Stars
Author: myaru // Amber Michelle
Character/Pairing: Sanaki
Word Count: 3277
Warnings: n/a, see note.
Rating: T
Notes: I guess this counts as Lehran/Sanaki. I TRIED NOT TO. At least she's older? Appearances made by Micaiah and Lehran, very short cameos by Naesala and Leanne.

I-it's a... list. It turns out I have issues with format...


[ 20 what-ifs or things that could have been. ]

Title: 20 Times Naesala Was Surprised
Author: misheard
Character/Pairing/Group/Whatever: Naesala

Warnings: Spoilers for FE10, het, accidental/unwanted slash.
Rating: T
Disclaimer/Notes/Whatever: I went back and got up-to-date on my modly duties. Sorry, guys~ I think the completed post needs to be fixed, too?

( Naesala does his best to make everyone believe that he is unflappable, always poised and in control, and never surprised by anything. This is a bunch of lies. )

Title: 20 Perks to Having a Tactician
Author: arcanelle
Character/Pairing/Group/Whatever: Ike/Soren
Word Count: 868
Warnings: Sexual references, drug references, and yaoi
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer/Notes/Whatever: My first go at 20_wars. It's not quite what I'm used to, but it is fun. :)

( When Ike was close by, Soren never had nightmares. )

Title: Twenty Things Ashera Hates
Author: misheard
Character/Pairing/Group/Whatever: Ashera mainly. Some Ashera/Yune.
Word Count: 643
Warnings: SPOILERS FOR ENTIRE GAME, sexual implications, crack
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer/Notes/Whatever: Waiting for your claim to go up is passe. It's true. Also I seriously can't warn for spoilers enough.

( Ashera hates rabbits. )

Author: Tavreynya
Character/Pairing/Group/Whatever: Shinon, Gatrie

( Like a girlfriend, only better )

Title: Of Two Lycian Lords
Author: araphen
Character/Pairing/Group/Whatever: Eliwood/Hector
Word Count: 1108
Warnings: ... it ended up being romantic xD; Uhm, random switching of past and present tense? And possible things that don't make sense.
Rating: PG to PG-13, I guess.
Disclaimer/Notes/Whatever: I do not own Fire Emblem, or else there would be a line of ACTUAL dating games. Where you could get everyone together with everyone else you so chose. Yes.

Title: 20 25 Snippets From a Swordsman's Life
Author: illegalism
Themes: [September] All
Word Count: 1306
Warnings: FE7 spoilers, references that could be construed as sexual
Rating: PG
Disclaimer/Notes/Whatever: Don't own, not trying to make money, all that good stuff. Not exactly in any strict chronological order aside from 22 happening some point after 01. I abuse every possible way of joining sentences together that exists in the English language in an effort to make these work. ♥

( 'I mean, what if I don't know what I'm doing?' )

Sorry these are a few days later, offline stuff just wouldn't cut me a break! ^^' Claim on this post, using the claims form, and add what style you'll be using (20 facts, drabbles, 1sentence, fic).

New layout is a throwback to the beginning of the comm (: I haven't gotten the codes done for the IE half, but Firefox users, tell me how it looks?

Also, no fanart in this one, so yay! FE really does have some lovely character art. (:

Banners continue to be made. (Just not right now because I'm at college ohdear)

Due to the number of banners that need to be made, I'm going to put them all in this post (: So, if you've been waiting on one for a while, come get it here. This post will be being edited as I get more done. I'll try to make sure to note who has them up and who doesn't, for convenience.
