Saucy fanfic - a question of aim

So. If, hypothetically, one were to compose one or more torrid and dubious pulp narratives pertaining to the Succession Trials, one wonders.

Is there a customary place for these things? Either for research or posting?

I really haven't seen much along these lines, other than Gutter Press's fine work--but it's not quiiiite what I'm going for. Are there canon details for minor matters pertaining to the Trials, such as whether the Heirs are sequestered together or separately, what degrees of constraint they're subject to, habits and customs pertaining to the period between the section of a ruler and Shathol'syn of all failed contenders, and so on? I've found some stuff, but it does seem to be thin on the ground. Goodness knows I'm fine making things up and blaming it on IC ignorance on Loai's part, but if there IS info...

Basically, I want her to look like a well-informed Royal Heir fanpoodle as far as I can manage, because she is. Anything I ought look at?

Yes there are some canon details.  There have been press releases about the status of the heirs, their sequesting and the like. (Two interesting details are articio's (the kor-azor heir's disappearance at one point, which given the ooc jokes about him being the Amarr 'Batman' I think were tongue in cheek, and of course King Khanid's heir being so much.. er.. like him.. leading to some tinfoilery.

I'll see if I can find and link!

As for fan fics.. they are certainly out there on the galnet. Whether approved... or.. err.. unapproved!

Unofficial.. err.. stories or a game called.. Amarrian Roullette on the galnet, probable Gallente. ((mix of ooc and Ic - inside joke on tweetfleet slack. But the jokes do hint at some themes...))

Rolls result in the following .. stories

"here appears to be a slight delay as King Khanid yet again confers with an officiator to see if he ​_really, really_​ is meant to take part in this.".

"Taking little interest in the eliminations of her opponents, Catiz is busy calculating how much profit she is making off the concession stands and merchandise."

"Aritcio Kor-Azor wins, after beating the others to death with the gun!"

"Uriam Kador wins, by accidentally shooting the other remaining Heir!"

"Uriam is too busy with his indentured Gallente groupies to take his turn."

"Drifters interrupt the game to blap Merimeth and Chamberlain Haromi as well, just to be sure."

"One guy in the audience cries out "Max for Emperor!" and is quickly dragged away by a pair of silent Inquisitors."

"Merimeth Sarum wins, by actually playing the game!"

"Some members of the audience boo as Aritcio survives a round. This distresses him and he asks to have another try to please them."

"The Heirs all stand up as one, turn their eyes skyward, and announce with one voice that... Apollo Tyrannos is the Emperor of Amarr. It's blap o'clock!"

"Yonis begins praying. Khanid reaches for the gun and begs to take the next turn."

"Tetrimon assassins leap from the stands to kill the Heirs and end the royal order once and for all! That is one angry book club, I tell you!"

"Catiz Tash-Murkon wins, after buying the gun, the bullets, the arena, and the rights to Shathol'Syn!"

"The Heirs all stand up as one, turn their eyes skyward, and announce with one voice that... Sansha Kuvakei is the Emperor of Amarr. Be Happy!"

"Chamberlain Haromi opens a pit underneath the arena and has all the Heirs swallowed by magma as he announces that he's actually a Blood Raider, and installs himself as the Empire's Eternal Despot."

"Yonis Ardishapur wins, when divine intervention somehow jammed the gun each time!"

"Uriam Kador wins, by accidentally shooting the other remaining Heir!"

"Catiz appears to be walking around the audience taking bets on the outcome of the game!"

"The once thought defeated team of Sarum in typical Sarumite style flew out to Iceland and bludgeoned the real finalists to death live on stage before declaring Alizabeth Vea the Empress."

Last but not least.... biographies of the "players".  ((all links can be thrown in the wayback machine to read if further info is desired).

Last question you had "So. If, hypothetically, one were to compose one or more torrid and dubious pulp narratives pertaining to the Succession Trials, one wonders. Is there a customary place for these things? Either for research or posting?"

The backstage forums have a place for player writing and even a "rumors' thread of one wanted to allude to an illicent pulp narrative.

The CCP evelonline IGS and Fiction forums also have player writing but is subject to TOS (essentially "PG"). I'd suggest backstage (for a wider audience) or our own forums for any stories.
