2012 Utena / Penguindrum Fanfic – Seinen Kakumei Utena, Part Four

Seinen Kakumei Utena (it's Seinen, NOT Josei), crossing with Penguindrum starting Part 2
Rating: T for mature and sensitive subject matters.


Timeline: 10 years post Revolution, a few weeks post Fate Train Transfer

Notable "Mysteries" Covered: Nemuro Hall, Child Broiler, Million Swords, Fate Train, Shadow Girls, Invisible People
Summary (or rather, Excerpt): “The revolution succeeded; it crumbled afterwards only because those whose lives got revolutionized did not follow up on the revolutionary success,” said the Bride, her words setting their closed hearts aflame. “This time, will you help us help you?”

After what seems like an eternity of non-fic writing, I have again written something in tribute of this timeless shoujo anime classic.  This is a work dedicated to the passionate, wonderful people at In the Rose Garden (fic thread here), which even now remains the coolest place for Utena fans to hang out online.

2012 Utena / Penguindrum Fanfic – Seinen Kakumei Utena, Part Three

Excerpt: “The revolution succeeded; it crumbled afterwards only because those whose lives got revolutionized did not follow up on the revolutionary success,” said the Bride, her words setting their closed hearts aflame. “This time, will you help us help you?”

Seinen Kakumei Utena takes place in the anime’s continuity, but will also incorporate certain elements from the movie; on top of that, prominent characters from Mawaru-Penguindrum will be making their appearances starting in this part.   Set ten years after Revolution (and weeks after M.P. ep. 24's Fate Train Transfer), the matured Duelists will react and battle against the Ends of the World amidst real life adult problems.  This is a work dedicated to the passionate, wonderful people at In the Rose Garden, which even now remains the coolest place for Utena fans to hang out online.  The thread for Seinen Kakumei Utena on the Rose Garden forums is here.

p.s. This part contains my take on both MP's Child Broiler and SKU's Nemuro Hall.

p.s. I’m still on the outlook for other places to post this, but I truly don’t know what other archives with reasonable traffic there are to post Utena fics . . .

p.p.s. Look up the "Seinen Kakumei Utena" label in this blog to search for all available parts of this fic.
