Prompt Post

Want to participate, but can't think of a good plot? That's what this post is for! Here you can post fic prompts for big bang writers to use. Some guidelines: ✗ This post is always open! Leave a prompt at any time. ✗ Anyone can leave a prompt, and you can leave as many prompts as you want. ✗ Remember that big bang fics have to be at least 10,000 words, so make sure your prompt has enough in it for a story that long. ✗ One prompt per comment. Anonymous commenting is preferred. ✗ Prompts should follow the general rules of the big bang—that means all verses (games, anime, manga, etc.), all pairings, all characters (including Pokémon, excepting original characters), and all ratings are allowed. (If your prompt is NSFW, please tag it as such in the subject line of your comment.) Prompts should also keep our ground rules in mind. Besides that, anything goes! ✗ If you see a prompt you want to fill, claim it by leaving an anonymous comment! If none of the prompts here suit you, you can also check out pokanon, pokekink_meme, or pokeprompts. Happy prompting! (And if you wouldn't mind, please help us advertise!) these rules are taken mostly wholesale from inception_bang.

I'm sure that everyone is familiar with the fact that Ninetales is based on the kitsune. Kitsune can take on the appearance of humans (and for the anime, a powerful old Ninetales was able to conjure the image of a woman in a Johto filler episode to woo Brock; the title is 'Just Waiting on a Friend' if anyone is curious). They can even become wives and mothers, and some are pranksters.

So think of where something like this could go. Maybe a random Character of the Day falls in love with a drop-dead gorgeous woman and they spend time dating, falling in love, etc. until one day they figure out the truth. Maybe a random adult male character like a Gym Leader/Frontier Brain/Elite/Champion/Evil team leader has a wife we never saw with a mysterous past and they unravel the mystery. Maybe one of the main characters grows up and...you get the idea. The repercussions of the discovery can also be considered (Is the main character angry? Upset? Suprised? All of the above? Does anyone else learn of it? Does the Ninetales leave, and if so, does the main character get upset about that?) although if you can manage 10,000 on just the dating/falling in love part with the revelation as the "sting" then go right ahead.

Of course, the fic would have to have the canon character as the main focus of the fic, with maybe the reader working out the mysteries alongside him (or her, considering that Ninetales have the 25 percent chance of being male). The fic could be set in any canon (games, anime, manga) but might work a tad better for the anime, and the main character focused on could be a CotD/Gym Leader/Brain/Elite/Champion/Evil team leader of your choice.

For a more "trickster" variety you could use Zoroark in place of Ninetales (working the concept a little differently to play up Zoroark's darker image).

tl;dr prompt: Apply the real life kitsune legends to Ninetales from the "point-of-view" of the main canon character.
