Greetings all. I'm assuming that you're here because TheInvertedShadow pointed you in my direction. If not…well, there are some things that need to be explained.

A while ago, my buddy TheInvertedShadow started doing Gmod videos. Originally, these were just supposed to be little one-shots featuring a girl named Kami going up against all the Team Fortress 2 Weirdoes (Painis Cupcake, Vagineer, Dick Sandvich, etc.). However, as time went on, this rapidly evolved into a series with a legitimate story line revolving around the romance between Kami and Dick Sandvich. Yes, you read that correctly. How does that work, you ask? Well, if I told you about it now, there would be no need to read the rest of this fic, now would there?

Anywho, I fell in love with this story pretty quick and decided to try my hand at writing them, adding in my own scenes when I felt they were necessary and really delving into the main characters. These chapters I sent off to Shadow to see what he thought of them, and to my surprise, he actually thought they were good. After much coercing, he finally convinced me to post this for other people to read.

Some things I should mention before we actually get to the story:

1. If you haven't watched the series on YouTube, you definitely should. Not only is it remarkable, it will give you a better idea of what things look like. Remember, the written series was originally going to be only for his eyes, and he knows what all the people and locations look like, so I really didn't bother putting in too many of those details.

2. This story is not only written from a writer's point of view, it's also written from a girl's point of view. While I'm not a big fan of romance, the relationship that forms during the course of this series is one that I truly love and really wanted to get into. So yeah, there are times when this gets a little fluffy, but not too horribly so. And honestly, I think the fluff is warranted between these two.

3. Being a writer, I like filling in the blanks. There were a lot of questions that the videos raised for me and I decided to see if I could come up with answers that made sense. This adds in a lot of scenes that aren't in the videos, so if you are familiar with those, you'll now get more of a back story that has been preapproved by the original creator, making this more in depth, gives you a lot of stuff you haven't seen before, and might even answer any questions you had.

4. Finally, I've recently gotten into writing in first-person. I find that it really allows me to get to know a character, and I personally have a lot of fun writing that way. Originally, this entire thing was going to be written from Kami's point of view. As much as Shadow liked this, he wanted to really test me and asked me to try writing things from Dick Sandvich's perspective as well. I never back down from a challenge, resulting in a two-sided story and probably making it that much more interesting. Don't worry, I do mark where I make the change, and the style of writing also changes a bit, so it should be fairly obvious. If it isn't, just tell me and I'll fix it.

Now that all of that's out of the way, please enjoy Kami's Saga. Reviews and constructive criticism are appreciated, but please, no flames. If you don't like this, you don't have to read it.

Thanks!
