It is, but mostly for the backstory and worldbuilding. In the here and now, it's still very much an Evangelion story with the same characters and eventual tone. It's just that this time around, the core formative reason for Asuka's personality wasn't Kyoko's suicide, but Kyoko getting gunned down wh...

The closest I ever came to this in my ongoing fic is an Asuka who focuses more on pursuing an explicitly military career path, rather than academic success. As such, she's not any further ahead academically than her peers but is an exceptionally skilled junior pilot even in non-Eva mechas (in fact, ...

That's still up for grabs, although I feel at least some level of seriousness would work best. Not completely serious, though; Shinji and Asuka mutually pushing each other to perform better and better (and possibly even the Angels upping their game in response) will inevitably result in NERV just co...

...had a silly mental image today when my mind remembered Shinji and WH40k from years past: take the same idea (Shinji finding fictional material at a young age that profoundly alters his personality) but genderflip it and replace WH40k with Gunbuster. Thus the tentative title: Shinji Aims For The T...

A brief look back at his prior posts shows that he does that all the time.

I don't think any further commentary is needed, he'll get himself permabanned eventually.

What, you don't like AsuShin?

If you ever get around to writing it yourself, feel free to; just keep in mind that it might not attract much traffic. With how much time has gone by since Q, interest in Eva is nowhere near as high as it was ten years ago. A few months ago, one of my reviewers pretty much chewed me out for asking f...

Chaddy, at this point pretty much everything canon-compliant is hackneyed. People just don't dare write anything else because of the stigma around AUs.

And judging from the success of A&T, people can never have enough Asushin.

Most likely negative. Sequels of old classics are universally treated negatively these days.

I think so too. There's plenty of air left in the franchise, but this could be Anno's final work in it. He's kinda burned out.

Chapter 44 up.

In which Asuka's dad visits Terminal Dogma and finds out just what the thing his daughter is strapped into on a repeated basis is made of.

^ Seconded on all counts.

Interesting idea.

You know, I've had a similar question floating in my mind for years now (what if Kaworu was Misato's biological son courtesy of a fragment of Adam lodged into her body during Second impact?) but nobody seemed to bite on it. Maybe you'll have more luck with this.

CC and RC I can sort of see (although I have watched neither Turn A nor G Reco so far) I'll let you draw your own conclusions from this , then. The closest Eva idea I ever had to it was one where Earth is stuck in a time loop where the Evas keep failing to stop the Angels (no thanks due to SEELE co...

I could see SEELE rising up in the After War / Post Disaster / Correct Century / Regild Century settings. These are the ones that got hit by human-on-human war the hardest, hence how SEELE can get their claws in by promising an end to further wars. For those not familiar with what I'm talking about:...

I like this! Glad to see I'm not the only one with similar ideas for Evangelion in mind.

I'll definitely keep an eye on this.

Yesterday I had a simple crack idea.

What would happen if, somehow, Elon Musk was put in charge of SEELE?

Both.

I'm fairly sure Gendo would veto that to keep Shinji in Unit 01. But if you think he wouldn't, you could have Unit 01's injuries against Sahaquiel be much more severe and taking much longer to repair, forcing Gendo to keep Unit 02 around due to having no other operational Eva at the moment. I mean, ...

Let me guess: red? Or maybe blue to evoke the TV ending?
