This one had started life a while as the Blockbreaker idea of my own, with story Eleven being all by itself. Then I had another idea for it and decided to save it to work through November and turn it up to Eleven.<br /><br />I had been working on requests, and I'd said I was going to write up other ideas if I started getting stuck for ideas doing requests. This is the end result of my side-line work through November, and it worked quite well. As you'll see, there's a variety of different kinds of stories here, though they're mostly just jokes that in few cases have much of a significant plot or relation to any other stories. They were fun to write and helped me keep on-track with Request work.<br /><br />There's not any real theme present with the ideas, except some stories do have obvious allusions to the number eleven or to the order they are placed in this collection. Because the collection is pretty big, I've split it into two. You can find Part 2 here <a href="https://lz0291.deviantart.com/art/Collection-Up-To-Eleven-Pt-2-187797416">[link]</a><br /><br />The stories in this part of the collection are:<br /><br /><b>Story 1: God Save Us From The Queen</b><br />FF9. <i>The Queen of Alexandria has a fever, and Beatrix fears that Her Majesty will not rest until it has been spread...</i><br /><br />A random idea I had way back during the World Cup. I figured that having Garnet develop an interest in football couldn't possibly end well for the Alexandrian soldiers. And Beatrix is the first to truly suffer...<br /><br /><b>Story 2: Tall Tail</b><br />Digimon Tamers. <i>Takato can’t quite believe what he hears when Ruki explains...</i><br /><br />I wanted to write something where a character was out of character for a good reason, and this was what popped up. <img src="https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/><br /><br /><b>Story 3: Too Easy </b><br />Digimon Adventure. <i>He made it look too easy, and the worst part was, he wasn't even trying.</i><br /><br />This one can either stand on it's own or be connected to the other four Digimon Adventure connected stories in the collection. I had the idea of a story highlighting something I noticed while discussing requests with someone: That Takeru seems to get things going his way far easier than Daisuke. I also note that in being very humble about the ending, Takeru can even be gracious in defeat far easier than Daisuke.<br /><br /><b>Story 4: Problems of the Future</b><br />FF9. <i>Though as a Crown Prince, the young Alexander Til Alexandros-Tribal was destined to rise to the highest position in the land, it seemed that for now, he had settled for the highest position in the room...</i><br /><br />A random little idea about the possible future offspring of Zidane and Garnet. Take one dose of hyperactivity, add a genetic background well inclined to jumping around, put on a prehensile tail that can allow the owner to hang from the roof, and then place in a room with chandeliers...<br /><br /><b>Story 5: Genre Savvy</b><br />FF5. <i>Krile joins the group, but why does she have so much luggage?</i><br /><br />I realised I'd never written any FF5 stories, and I figured maybe it'd be amusing to have it so the first one I wrote was about a character who knows exactly what she could expect in the kind of things I write. <br /><br /><b>Story 6: Cute Butt</b><br />Digimon Adventure. <i>Of all the ways to commit suicide, telling Tai that about his sister must be amongst the most foolhardy...</i><br /><br />A story based entirely on a terrible pun really. That's about it.
