A/N:
So, this is basically a random idea I just had... two seconds ago? I (we, once the rest of the group logs on and writes this story also) are going to create a Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRONiCLE story in which they travel to you, the reader's, dimension and meet you, the reader, and your friends. One chapter per reader.
How is this going to work?
Really, the plot is run by the reviewers, we just write out your request.
Here's how you enter for a chapter:
Post a review for the story that includes the name of your world, and the description of the world. It can be a real place, like your hometown, or you can make up something like Ceres country and Clow. It just has to be original. Describe what the country is like, what the different customs are... add as much information on the country as you can. If your review lacks the information we need on your country... well, that's okay, too, but we'll have to make some stuff up to fit it into the story. Also, put a description of you (if you want this to be reality based) or the character you want featured in the chapter. If you just want us to make up characters for your world, that's allright also.
Rules for characters:
cannot be crossovers from any other CLAMP manga or any other non CLAMP manga. They must be original. Don't worry, we will add our own CLAMP crossovers where needed, but the character you submit must be original.
your character is only in one chapter, unless we decide otherwise. no characters made by you will become main characters, so please don't request that. Even if you don't intend to... well, OC characters, if they have a big role, are often in danger of turning into Mary Sues or, in the male case, Billy Bobs. We don't want this... our story will be Mary Sue and Billy Bob free. Do not request that your character falls in love with any of the dimensional travelers... I know there are a lot of Syaoran fangirls out there that would LOVE to have a story written for them where Syaoran falls in love with them... but it's not going to happen. Sorry.
cannot be real people other than you and your friends. Technically, has a rule against including real people (as in, well known people) in fanfictions. True, most of us do bend that rule, but please don't request that Barac Obama or whatever takes part in the chapter.
The flow of the story depends on the number of reviews and the time on our hands... we cannot write chapters unless we have a review with custom chapter requests, so if this story intriuges you, don't just add it on your alert list. It's not going to go to the next chapter unless there are reviews.
Until then, here is a sample chapter. Seeing as there are obviously no reviews, because this is the first chapter, I (Grimm) will make the first chapter about the travelers coming to my hometown... yours could be next!
"BOINK!" Soel's eyes went wide, and then he jumped up and down excitedly. Kurogane just stared at the Mokona, annoyed.
"Hey, pork bun, you want to tell us what you're sensing instead of just... burning off all of that sugary liquor you had last night? Stop bouncing." Kurogane said to the rabbit type thing. Soel stopped and started to cry, then he glomped Fay's shoulder.
"FAY! FAY! KUROGANE IS BEING A MEEEEANIE!" Soel said. Fay smiled and patted the Mokona's head, then turned to Kurogane.
"Oh, Kuro-pii, have a heart!" Fay said teasingly. Kurogane fumed but didn't say anything. Mokona moved from Fay's arm and glomped Syaoran's head.
"FEATHER! FEATHER! FEATHER!"
"Where is it, Mokona?" Syaoran asked. Mokona ignored the question and glomped Sakura's face.
"FEATHER! FEATHER! FEATHER!"
"Fhjkasfnm." Sakura said, her words muffled by Mokona who was making it hard for her to breathe. Mokona pointed to a library in the middle of a busy intersection.
"THERE!"
Syaoran, Sakura, Kurogane, and Fay all found some clothing that looked normal for the world they were in. Mokona sat very still in Sakura's arms so that he resembled a plushie. They all walked into the library and split up to search for said feather.
Fay and Kurogane went into some place that was labeled something in odd letters.
CHILDREN'S SECTION
Fay turned to Kurogane.
"Can you read that?"
"Hell no. It's not Japanese. What about you?"
"Not me." they both stood there, still trying to decode the message. Kurogane shrugged.
"Whatever." he said, and walked in. Fay followed him into a strang room with picture books and train sets...
Syaoran and Sakura (holding Soel) walked up a set of stairs, hoping to find some more stuff. Syaoran looked up at a sign that was written in foreign characters.
NONFICTION
Syaoran looked at Sakura.
"I'll go over here... you and Mokona go up that short flight of stairs and see what's up there, okay?" he told her. She nodded and walked in the other direction as Syaoran went browsing the shelves of a "Dewy Decimal System".
Fay was looking at the pictures in some children's book... they were photographs of penquins. He couldn't read it, of course, but it was still a nice photography book, he thought to himself. The title was written in the same odd characters.
TANGO MAKES THREE
Fay sat down to look through the pictures some more.
Sakura and Mokona walked up the stairs to find a section labeled in the same illegible characters that appeared as YOUNG ADULT LOFT. There were a few people there that appeared to be about Sakura's age sitting and reading various books. In the back she spotted a section labeled GRAPHIC NOVELS AND MANGA were a blonde girl seemed to be browsing. Sakura got closer and looked over the girl's shoulder to see what was on the wall. What she saw was interesting... and confusing. She picked up a book labeled Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRONiCLE and flipped through the pictures, amazed at what she saw. Just then, the blonde girl turned around and looked at Sakura with surprise.
Syaoran was sitting down, glaring at the wall of un-translatable books that appeared before him.
"this sucks."
Fay looked up from the penquin book he was "reading" to see an angry elderly woman yelling at Kurogane.
"What do you think you are doing? This is a place to let the children grow in mind and intelligence, not a place for you to violate them!"
"WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT VIOLATING?! THAT FRICKIN BRAT WOULDN'T GIVE ME THE STUPID PIECE OF CRAP YOU CALL BOOKS!" Kurogane shouted at the lady. Her face turned red with rage.
"YOU PERVERT! DO YOU THINK I WOULDN'T NOTICE?! WHY EXACTLY WOULD YOU HAVE INTEREST IN A CHILDREN'S COMIC BOOK, MUCH LESS A COMIC BOOK MADE FOR YOUNG GIRLS!"
"I AM NO PERVERT! AND HOW WOULD I KNOW IT WAS MADE FOR GIRLS?!"
"YOU FREAK! IT'S LABELED 'CARDCAPTOR SAKURA' AND HAS A PICTURE OF A GIRL DRESSED IN PINK LOLITA ON THE COVER!"
"I KNOW THAT GIRL!"
Fay ducked into a restroom as the librarian threw Kurogane out and called the cops.
Sakura stared back at the girl who was staring at her with startling recognition.
"Um.. I'm sorry, do I know you?" asked Sakura. The girl blinked, pinched herself, and then lauged.
"Oh, I'm sorry." the girl said. She motioned to the Tsubasa book in Sakura's hand. "You're a Tsubasa fan... great cosplay, by the way. The best one I've ever seen."
"What is 'cosplay'?" asked Sakura.
"Dressing up as anime and manga characters, of course! Shouldn't you know that?" she asked. Sakura shook her head. The girl looked confused. "I don't understand how you don't know what it is! You have a great cosplay! I almost actually thought that Princess Sakura of Clow herself came out of the manga and into this world!" the girl said. Sakura gasped.
"What do you mean I'm dressing as her? I am her! How did you know? We're from different dimensions..." Sakura started to say, but the girl gave her a funny look.
"Wow. You're even good at acting like her."
"No, you don't understand..."
"IS THAT A MOKONA PLUSHIE?!" the girl asked excitedly, pointing to Soel who was currently "playing dead". Sakura froze, worried that the girl knew about Mokona. She didn't have a chance to do anything, though, because a brunette girl around the blonde girl's age had waved her over.
"Come on, Grimm! Let's go!" the brunette motioned. Grimm waved.
"Be there in a second!" Grimm said. Then she turned back to Sakura. "Anyway, here. I have a necklace from the series... you know, it has a pink feather pendant and such. It would go great with your cosplay, so here, you can have it." Grimm gave Sakura a feather on a chain. It may have been on a necklace, but from Mokona's slight shudder, Sakura knew this was the feather they had sensed. Grimm waved goodbye. "Well, bye! Good luck with your cosplay!" and she walked back down the stairs.
A/N: Ah, the lovely dimension of Suburbia. I hope our travelers enjoyed their stay... remember, next chapter comes up when you review!
