Note from the Author
Title: Ballad of Eustass Kidd
Summary: The phrase 'to Hell and back' is used too lightly when describing the troubles faced by couples, but Kidd's decision to let Ava wake up before he decided whether or not to kill her, would prove to very well take him to Hell and back.
Welcome, dear reader to the prologue, you could say, of the newly revised Eustass Captain Kidd Story –as it was formerly titled. I never liked the title anyway, hence the new one. Aside from the obvious changes –those being the entire story –I'd like to point out my other changes from an authorial stand point. There will no longer be any intro's/sneak-peaks/authors notes/answers to comments at the beginning or end of the chapter. Every 10 chapters I will do, in the fashion of Oda, a SBS (as he calls it) in which I will answer any and (hopefully) all questions between them. Any critical questions can be asked by PM and will be answered daily.
I will also be paying less attention to describing Ava; instead (to be posted after this note) is her complete character biography from a previous post.
Occasionally, I plan on updating you with little notes like these, in regards to bounty or if I seek your opinion on anything. As always I value highly your input, criticism or otherwise and any plot idea's can be sent to me via PM for immediate consideration and (newly) I will be accepting OC's from my readers as part time characters, bad guys and whatever I may need them for.
I have decided to remove the nicknames of Kidd's crew from the story, as Oda will most likely be revealing them shortly and in the mean time I will go off of the names I chose as their real names during the Hell Arc.
Also, I plan on being neutral as the author. You'll see me rant on occasion when Oda makes me angry but that should be it. Unless I get excited from Oda's plot or I find something important for my readers to know. And I'll put a warning sign beside each ramble I put, like so:
*CAUTION: RAMBLE*
Due to Oda's sudden release of the Supernova's ages, I've had to rethink a few things. Kidd is no longer 29 PTS (post time skip) but 21 PTS so, I have changed the ages of Ava and the rest of the Kidd Pirates, but you'll all find that out later.
To my new readers, I will warn you now not to take this story seriously, because I don't. I put time and effort into this, but the plot itself is not serious. This post is an edited version of another story I had posted formerly.
To my old readers, thank you for being patient with me and I hope you all enjoy this revised version! Also, I have every single one of the comments you have all left me over the past 2 years.
Lastly, any sort of desire to use one of my characters is any media is fine by me (ie. drawing or other story.) is completely okay by me so long as you PM me before hand and I get to see the finish product.
Enjoy :)
