Decided to give this thread a try after all.
This isn't the first and certainly won't be the last time a user has opened a thread for dumping their creative output into a single repository, so you all know what this is about. In my case it is especially necessary, since most of my ideas are scattered across multiple threads on both SV and SB, going back 6+ years in some cases, with not even I knowing where I posted what, only that I once thought of something like that and posted it somewhere at sometime. There is, of course, my (current) flagship project, a more sci-fi approach to Evangelion by way of a crossover with Half-Life. An unconventional pair, I know; most of my more expansive and detailed ideas tend to be highly unconventional takes on the original, as far as stations of canon go. That particular project has its own thread; find it in my sig but be advised, it gets going very slowly.
My other ideas, summarized shortly. I will update this list as I remember them and will elaborate in threadmarked posts below.

The Evangelion Odyssey: my second ever foray into fanfic writing, this was an abortive crossover between Evangelion and Battlezone. Also my first foray into genderbending, via a tomboy Shinji with a personality very similar to the NGE manga's version of Shinji. Also an adrenaline junkie and KMFDM-fan male Asuka. And a Rei who's female but definitely not normal, least of which being her habit of casual sadism. Oh, and the Evas are hover-capable powered armor instead of cyborgs, but behave just as unpredictably. ...like I said, this was my second story ever.
Maiden of the Apocalypse: my eventual take on a magical girl version of Evangelion. Caution: even darker than canon in some places. This time the Evas take the form of a surgically-implanted symbiote that grants the host a variety of abilities, including a costume that falls somewhere halfway between a Barrier Jacket and a Nanosuit. Shinji's a girl this time around too.
The One Who Calls the Gospel (working title): as a select few of my followers know, I always felt that a very underutilized character in Evangelion was Mayumi Yamagishi. Despite having the exact same psychological issues as Shinji and the two of them hitting it off like peas in a pod, they never got to interact beyond the timeframe of a single (VN) episode - which is a colossal waste, considering that the other characters' thoughts and reactions to the uncanny similarity should've been a source of much plot. This idea of mine is an attempt to remedy that.
A Man's Decision (working title): similar to the above, except this one is centered upon Mana Kirishima instead. The one character who we know without a doubt loved Shinji with no strings attached and evidence of him reciprocating is legion. My idea is a what-if scenario branching off the Special Edition ending of Girlfriend of Steel, where Shinji quits NERV to stay with Mana - but what if, as the two were waiting for the train to leave Tokyo-3 with, Gendo showed up at the train station and offered a deal?
Burning Sky (working title): what if the world of Evangelion caught a lucky break by SEELE failing to find the White Moon before the Old Men all died from old age? And what if they were replaced by an ambitious generation of futurists and venture capitalists who actually wanted to help humanity reach their full potential rather than to merely escape the clutches of their own mortality? It's helicarrier time, baby!
Lose Some, Win Some (working title): if two of my above ideas did not imply already, I happen to like the concept of Shinji Ikari being a girl. And in this case, being turned into one ends up helping her immensely down the line... Noriko Takaya would be proud.
Evangelion Wars (working title): something that came to me while I was trying to amuse myself through a relative's wedding. What if Infinite Stratos would've been a "To Be A Master" tournament series instead of a slice-of-life harem comedy? And what if we excuse the supertech with really high-level AT-field manipulation and cybernetic enhancement? Of course, the Angels have a thing or two to say about that...
Speak of the Devil (working title): if you're getting sick of all the Evangelion, here's some Gundam instead. At the final battleground of the Second Neo-Zeon War, Amuro Ray sacrificed himself to push Axis back... but felt that he still had something left to do. And thus the legendary White Devil stalks the battlefields of the One Year War, Operation Stardust, the Gryps Conflict and the First Neo-Zeon War once more...
Mobile Suit Gundam ExSEED: in a different Cosmic Era, a teenage genius finds himself caught up in a war between an immortal and a dictator-wannabe both trying to save humanity from itself in their own ways. Contains awesomeness, big explosions and Newtypes. 'And as the headless mobile suit spiraled out of control, five kilometers away, Lunamaria licked her lips and casually adjusted her sights. ''Take it to the head, bitch."'
Fires of Redemption: in a different Anno Domini, a different Trinity sibling survives Ali al-Saachez' attack. One not quite as psychotic as his siblings. And Aeolia Schenberg isn't quite as dead as Alejandro Corner thinks. The Plan is still on track. It just needs a little... adjustment.
Blow You Away (working title): as much as I generally prefer sci-fi over the explicitly supernatural, I'm willing to make exceptions if the story itself is good. Like it's the case with a certain story about a girl who can fling coils like a railgun. But this time, it's not Misaka Mikoto who takes center stage but Saten Ruiko, who discovers after the Level Upper incident that for some reason, she still has her aerokinetic ability...
As-of-yet untitled Mass Effect concept: what if Colonist!Shepard didn't manage to escape the slavers on Mindoir? What if captivity scarred her mind and body, yet her captors failed to break her resolve? After escaping and leading the Alliance right back to the slavers' den, Shepard joined the military - and a legend was born of a Vanguard like none other. One whose biotics are matched only by Subject Zero, whose shotgun is matched only by Krogan, but whose wit and lack of professionalism is matched by none.
The Unsung Heroine: not all my story ideas are based off of existing franchises. In 2055, on the eve of humanity starting test drillings on the Moon for helium-3 to solve the world's energy problems, fifteen year old Japanese orphan Kousaka Hayate finds her peaceful days of reading bootleg scans of Gundam mangas broken by a savage attack by very much real giant robots before she's taken into custody by the JSDF and press-ganged into becoming a Tracer Frame pilot herself to fight off invaders from another dimension, else she'd get shot in the head and tossed into a gutter for knowing too much. But as she finds out, she's not the only one fighting in this shadow war for survival - and the Moon might the key to everyone getting out of this alive.
Burning Void (working title): another original concept. Well, mostly original. When you're an unassuming otaku, your only interaction with girls might very well be white-knighting other people will ridicule you for. But that ridicule usually doesn't include getting chased around by 23rd century mechas on the streets of the Martian underground city you grew up in. But when you happen to be one of the top players of an online Voidstrider simulator and that pretty girl whips out Sol Federation military credentials to grant you access to a cutting-edge Voidstrider prototype... maybe showing her around on her day off isn't that bad of a price. Even if the charismatic revolutionary / public enemy no.1 terrorist leader your detractors work for happens to be her big brother. Wait, what?
