I don't really know how to explain this. Normally, my writing is original work, and I tend to write dark or gothic fantasy. But recently I've grown tired of crying myself to sleep every time one of my favourite characters dies, and this desire for something different just happened to coincide with my watching Nanatsu no Taizai. Having seen it, I decided that I wanted to write something similar.
This is essentially a shorter (standard novel length, rather than an epic or saga) story that I'm writing to take an emotional break from the darker stuff. As such, I've spent a lot less time covering every aspect of it than I normally would, and have instead used the bones of the Nanatsu plot and setting as a basis. The basic premise- the gathering of a group of outlawed heroes who must fight to stop a demonic apocalypse- is the same. Certain scenes and characters, such as Elizabeth turning up at the tavern in the first and second chapters, are exactly the same. Others, such as the rescue of Deverish (which takes heavy inspiration from the recovery of Ban in Nanatsu) are based on the series but not quite the same. And other parts are completely and vastly different. Hence I really don't know whether to class this as original of fanfiction, as it seems to somehow straddle the border. But hey, try the first chapter or so, and you should know from that whether or not it's the kind of thing you'd like.
Ignoring the uncertain nature of the story, I've still been putting a lot of time and effort into this, and it should be good fun both to write and to read. I'm planning to have chapters of around 2-3000 words, with a new one released every week, although I can't 100% promise this as a lot of things are going on right now. I can however promise to respond to all feedback I receive, and it's all very much appreciated. I know it can seem like a lot of effort, and a lazy bum like me can completely sympathise, but please consider leaving a review if you enjoy it- or, just as importantly, if you don't.
Other than that, enjoy.
