Introduction
I like The Legend of Zelda, particularly the Wind Waker Trilogy. While I have played both DS Zelda games, and have Dolphin in my computer, I haven't played The Wind Waker (HD) yet. I just want to get it either on the Wii U or the NX, or whatever its real name is.
I also like FanFiction. I like it when people "expand" on their favourite games or anything. Even better, I can read the works of some brilliant people, and for FREE! Of course, I enjoy reading a well-written FanFiction, and when I see people write at a high level, I am very glad. You know who you are, so keep on blushing.
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Jeremy Gan, and I hail from the Southeast Asian country of Malaysia. I am 18 years old as of 2016, and currently in college. I am home-schooled in an American programme since the age of 11, thus my mastery of the English language. If you'd like to know more please visit my bio page.
I've read many Zelda works, and while there are some sci-fi ones, I find that some are not complete, especially Exoria, which is the best one bar mine (hehehehe). Come on man! Fighting Gravity is older, but I enjoyed it anyway. Of course, there are many others. However, I did not steal from these amazing works, but I did get influenced by them. I admire these works very much, and I maaaybe stole a little bit of your styles, but only a little! I decided to write my own FanFiction after reading so many, and in the Wind Waker timeline because very few FanFictions have that as a setting in comparison.
I like reading, and my two favourite genres are sci-fi and wuxia novels. Yes, I'm Malaysian Chinese or Chinese Malaysian, whatever you call it. I can read and speak Chinese. For those who do not know, wuxia novels are the basically your kung-fu movies, except in written form. They are about Chinese martial arts, fighting, and romance, depending on the writer. For those who do know, I like Jinyong's books. Since I like both, I decided to do something I think hasn't been done before, that is to write a sci-fi/wuxia work. I hope this can work, or I'm going to be ashamed. As a matter of fact, I DO learn Chinese martial arts, although I'm not very good.
If you see something very "Chinese", then it will be clear what I am pursuing. If you really don't understand, then read my author's notes, which are detailed and precise. I wish to introduce you to wuxia novels and Chinese culture, which many of you are not familiar with. Please appreciate and understand that knowing another culture is beneficial for you. It can even be a fun thing after all.
I have a very unique writing style, or so I think. I want to use this FanFiction as an opportunity to try it out, and any of you are welcome to critique. Just keep it clean and polite, we are civilised people after all.
I have never written any material but homework, and this is my first ever FanFiction and book, so please go a little easy on me. I welcome constructive criticism and advice. However, no flames, please.
I may able to write in English, but there is one flaw that I am painfully aware of. I keep switching between American and British spelling, although not very much. This is because of studying in both American and British systems and grammar. If some of this occurs, please understand and kindly inform me.
I thank you for taking the time to read this introduction and book. I hope you can enjoy it and let it bring a sense of adventure and the occasional burst of excitement. Please note that I would like to see reviews, so please rate and review. If you review, then I know that someone is reading my book, which leads to the addition of a new chapter. I ask a minimum of three reviews, so please be so kind to do so. However, the first three will be up even without reviews.
Much gratitude.
An aspiring author,
Jeremy Gan S.R.
