Okay, so my Anime Addenture thread has somehow mutated into my participating in NaNoWriMo, taking my "Riding On Fire" thread and turning it into a fanfiction novel. I have most of the storyline beats laid out in my head, and my ducks are more or less in a row. I only have a couple of annoying questions to settle...
First of all, for people who might have had more experience with Fred Herriot and the Senior Year universe than I do, and to save me skimming through the fanfic pages: is there any proper description of the spaceships of the other races, aside from the canon ones like the Oni, Fukunokami and Ellsians? Or more specifically, has Fred ever said what a Yeshirite, Noukuiite or even a Zephyrite space fighter craft would look like? I have a good idea of a Sagussan Gladiator in my head, at it would probably resemble the Solenoid fighters in Gall Force, but little else.
Second of all, is there any fiction out there that deals with outer space dogfighting? Or modern dog fighting in general? It doesn't have to be realistic, as this is a universe based around Urusei Yatsura, but I'd like a point of reference besides the Rogue Squadron novels to try and write dogfighting scenes with.
Finally, I'm looking for suggestions on names for the various races' space craft. I've figured on using Japanese styled names for the Urusians and the Fukunokami, but I'm kinda stuck on the others. This is difficult, as the Yeshirites and the Noukiites are going to play major roles in my story...
