Why would Medea want to stop people from looking like Saber?

It reduces the value of her Saber action figures and other assorted memoralia that make her collection.

Why would Medea want to stop people from looking like Saber?

IIRC Medea doesn't like Mordred because she doesn't find her attitude compatible with Saber's appearance, and I don't think she'd be fond of Nero either. Medea seems to be a purist when it comes to Saber.

Honestly it just needs to be a tsundere magic user, and Medea is at least somewhat connected to Arturia.

so how plausible would it be for the reborn Lion King to

Spoiler:

kill vortigern and take his place as the big bad dragon of britain

[Draconic]

If you want to do that, I’ll root for it. SpoilerDragons, like bananas, are good.

Anyone have any ideas as to how a Gray and Artoria conversation might pan out? Based on what I know of her backstory, she would definitely react with fear upon first seeing her, and it'd get super awkward at first, with Artoria trying to reach out, but eventually they might talk, but I'm not sure what either might say. Would Gray reveal her past as the sacrifice of an Arthur cult? Would Saber get pissed at that? Would that even be a topic of conversation?

[Historia]

i'd think arturia would go right back to eating her food and not really care

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

Pretty sure Historia was joking, but whatever.

So I had this extremely goofy extremely comedic idea, a Night Talk show Featuring Archer Emiya as the host, taking place in Chaldea.Basically it involves examining the servant being interviewed, with punchlines jokes and whatnot, much like a real night talk show would, for instance Gil being teased about getting defeated by a younger version of Emiya, FGO and Fate Inside jokes and non servant characters like sakura, BB and of course evil grandaddy zouken, What do you guys think?

[Rafflesiac]

SAO Offline was amusing

[zikari8]

Dark Sakura's room was also amusing

Well, I'd read it.

Then again, I'd read anything goofy.

I wasn't.

[Draconic]

m_j_r's idea sounds entertaining

[Historia]

new hotness incoming,

powerful magus gets bamboozled and summons sader instead of og saber in grail war

- - - Updated - - -

ending spoilers: sader wins by being entirely unpredictable

plot twist: sader is actually caster arturia pendragon. blame morgana.

So, if I'm trying to find advice for depicting Sakura in a fanfiction story. Specifically, as a main character. I've found htat when I look at it, it's not often done well. I think it's because Sakura, while a very good character idea, wasn't shown from a first-person perspective in the visual novel. I also think she doesn'tdo that much, not even in her own route. The characters generally don't react to her so much as react because of her (i.e. they are motivated by her circumstance rather than being moved by things she does as a character). So the solution to Sakura is just have her act and have other characters react to her actions.

That said, I do want to hear from you guys. What advice would you give to an aspiring fanfic writer like myself who wants to write Sakura-centered stories?

[Rafflesiac]

When's the story set? Pre-FSN, in FSN, or post-FSN? Her time frame determines her agency, which determines how you'd write her.

That's a good question. I wanted the story to be a crossover because I see that, too often, most Fate crossover stories do not have Sakura as the star of the show, and I wanted to give the character some more novelty. The way I envisioned the story would be the immediate aftermath of the Heaven's Feel Route. Do you think that sounds too cliché?

She's the primary herione of that route though, so if you set it after that, you're basically saying "Here she is being cool after she just finished being cool". If you really want to showcase her, have her as the MC of a story in Fate or UBW, where she barely develops.

Also she's basically solved all her issues at that point, she's de-wormed, has a lover, a sister, a sexy bodyguard, her grandfathers dead, and the Greater Grail is even destroyed.

it'd probably be something like mahoyo where someone's trying to intrude on fuyuki and Sakura has to take care of it since she's the substitute second owner.
It's difficult juggling a Sakura story since most external problems can be solved with Rider.
