What is the Academy?
This is a common question when I tell people the title of the fanfiction. The Academy is a fanfiction my friend and I have been writing since 8th grade, and we will be Seniors in High School this year. So we're going on 5 years of a continuous story.
To put it simply, the Academy is a crossover. A HEAVY crossover with multiple characters from multiple places (e.g. movies, anime, manga, etc...). I have been interested in the idea of crossovers since I was younger and really liked the idea of how characters from opposite worlds would interact with each other. A few days after the beginning of 8th grade I met my friend Chitose. Atfer discovering we had so much in common I brought up the idea of the Academy, which was in it's very first draft I'd been writing. She agreed to work on it with me, and thus it began.
The Academy takes place in the real world on Earth, in WI where we live. It is a school where all these different characters live, eat, and interact with each other. They all have assigned rooms and roommates. It is run by two people we have made up ourselves, called Mr. and Mrs. Aido.
Mr. and Mrs. Aido are very intelligent, and very powerful people. They created the school, and invite only characters they deem worthy to live in it. (Or in our case, characters we know about). They open up portals to the other worlds where these characters live (or in their case, their dimension where the show/manga/etc...is taking place).
This is what the Academy is as a story. A few Episodes in my friend and I do come into the story, and believe me - the beginning of the story is pretty bad. If I could go back and change everything in the beginning I would, but the story as of today is about 900+ Episodes in. I have had to go through much editing to figure out which Episodes actually have signifant importance. (I'm still not done because I put it off for so long :'D But I'm enough in to begin uploading Episodes).
I really want people to read and enjoy this story. My friend and I have put our heart and souls into the idea of this story, and have been working on it for almost 5 years. I think about this story probably 75% of the time, wether it be ideas or roleplaying for it. We have poured EVERYTHING into this story to make it enjoyable to read and write.
I only have a word of warning for this story. It is very long, and very...interesting. Eventually it will get very graphic in sexuality, language, and violence. At first it seems happy - but I am warning you that it will get very disturbing at points. If you do continue to read along with the story you will notice how much more mature the story becomes.
The one thing I want to stress on is that I DON'T OWN ANYTHING. There are MULTIPLE characters from other places in this, and I do not claim to own any of them except those I did create myself. Otherwise I do not want people to harass me about it. I also apologize for anyone who reads this and may have no idea who some characters are - but that's all part of discovering a new anime isn't it? Eventually better characters will come in. The best part about editing is that all the fillers get taken out which makes everything go faster. :D
But to anyone who does read this, please remember that I DON'T OWN ANYTHING. We have poured everything into this story. I have worked through blood and tears through making this. I really want people to get into it, it does get so much better. To anyone who reads this fully I would request of you to send me a message saying that you're going to follow along, it would make me very happy.
I will upload a list of characters in the first few seasons before uploading the very first Episode. Please enjoy everyone as you enter the Academy. ^.^
