Good day to you all! You have reached the third anthology I'm making in the Klonoa fandom alone. It's back again with some different rules, and it is my goal now to write so much of my one signature pairing that you all get sick of it to death. O.o
More rants and developments follow after this.
My first anthology, known as 'Kiss and Tell', was finished very recently. It was purely couples-based, with no limits on word counts or writing styles. It took just over a year to complete, and I've written many pairings. I chose the amount of chapters later on in the series, and I think I'd been a little late in trying to figure that out.
My second anthology, 'Dreamstones of a Hundred Tales', is a drabble and oneshot collection. It is theme-based, and has a hundred themes - the goal is to finish them all. It will admittedly take much longer than a year to complete, but as of now it is going quite well. It has virtually no limits except that all chapters must follow a theme of its own. The whole thing ends with exactly hundred chapters, as it can't continue when the themes are finished. It has had a chapter limit since it was started.
This is my third collection of stories, and now - what can I say? I'm going to try to follow some stricter guidelines this time. I'll incorporate the different rules those two collections have, and combine them into one. The whole thing becomes a lot more limited this time, and this time it'll be as such:
1. An unconfirmed amount of chapters, preferrably around twenty, on one specific pairing.
2. There is a limit to how much genres one can incorporate into a story. That is, if it's angst I'll stick to angst and related genres all the while without suddenly bursting into humour. That seems to ruin the mood when I'm writing about this pairing.
3. The story closely identifies with its title. Some of my stories have a title and then drift away from it and that makes me feel bad. x.x
4. No additional characters except for the ones in Klonoa Heroes and several in Namco x Capcom.
5. There are two main settings for this, and that's the Heroes and Namco x Capcom universe. Sometimes you might get one with my depraved universe settings, but that's very unlikely. I will not write in Dream Champ universe - there's too little interaction for this pairing to seem likely.
My signature pairing is Klonoa x Guntz. I can't seem to write well any other way without masses of planning. Plus, it is my goal to write so much of this so that you all get sick of it. THEN I can move on to something that doesn't have this pairing. But that will probably be a year away (because I can't write +20 chapters in less than a year, when I have a lot of projects) so until then... please enjoy the lovable slashiness of those two. The crack-induced other pairings I'm very likely to continue writing, but I think those ones might be found and scattered everywhere around 'Dreamstones of a Hundred Tales', or written seperated.
Warnings: This pairing in my hands usually become emotional and crack-filled angsty fics. It might just contain a load of blood, swearing, and other such obscene things. And it IS slash after all - don't read this anthology if you hate slash. Don't even read one chapter because I can promise that the whole thing is slash and no hetero whatsoever.
Disclaimer: Klonoa and Guntz belong to Namco, and have since 1997 (for the former) and 2001 (for the latter). Remember that none of this is canon in any way, no matter how obsessively I write the whole thing out. I make no profits from any of my stories.
Now you can wait for the next slashy goodness... or seek out one from the drop-down menu. I think there's one right up close. In fact, it might be near as the next chapter.
Shall we go?
