I am finding your fourteen-year-old crush on Tidus to be COMPLETELY ADORABLE. Seriously it is, I want to hug them both a little bit.
My first fics were all about either Jak and Daxter or Invader Zim because at thirteen I was embarrassingly obsessed with them both (these days, of course, I'm embarrassingly obsessed with Thief instead. Hoy). They were all about a new female character I'd invented just for the fandom. She almost always had a best friend character as well, and they'd run around having adventures with the canon characters but - and here's the weird part - never actually kiss/date/do anything like that with any of them. There's only one, a Jak and Daxter one, where I made even the slightest attempt at something resembling romantic tension.
Hilariously, reading back over them I get more romantic vibes from the female OC's and the 'best friend' characters. I should probably look into that.
Oh man, I remember a fic when I explicitly pointed out Jak being unable to use his guns on the hoverboard because you can't in the game, never mind logic, and there was a big ridiculous heist where the strategy boiled down to 'shoot everything that moves, then everything that doesn't move.' And an explosion scene that I ripped off whole-sale from Matthew Reilly of all people. I loved writing fight scenes and shoot outs.
