1. Introduction

350 AC: An ASOIAF Fanfiction

A message from the author: Oh look, it's that author you barely ever see write anything. Well, it's me, Boltstriker or whatever. What's this fanfiction? Good question! See, I had a wonderful idea that I totally didn't steal from my friends, "Let's make an ASOIAF roleplay community!" So, with the help of said friends, I set up an ASOIAF community where I forced everyone to roleplay like some sort of modern Joffrey. Yeah, I know, great way to influence people. But anyway, the characters in this story are based off of them. Before I explain the synopsis and stop dodging the point, I want to call out three users (but I'll only mention two because I forgot the other one's username), illuminatemmie and CrestfallenHeart. They were big supporters of this ASOIAF community, and in addition to being great friends that deal with my sudden bouts of existential depression, but they've also helped me with ideas and relieving my writer's block while writing this.

So, time for synopsis. As of now, I've written five chapters of 350 AC, so I have a pretty good idea of the universe I've created/built upon. As the title would suggest, this story takes place fifty years after the year 300 AC (the first day of which was the Purple Wedding, funnily enough), and most of the events in the A Song of Ice and Fire novels. This new Westeros is experienced through the eyes of Ser Darius Hill, the bastard of Lord Tybolt Lannister and Lady Cerenna Brax, a skilled swordsman living in Casterly Rock by the grace of his lord father. Now, if you're a true fan of my writings, first of all, what are you doing with your life? But seriously, if you recognize the name Darius from that one stupid Percy Jackson fanfiction I wrote like a year ago, that's because I really like the name Darius, alright? Not to mention, self-insert is always easiest (that was a joke, don't spam me with PMs like "BOLTSTRIKER SELF INSERT ISN'T REAL FICTION"). Anyway, when Lord Tybolt is named Hand of the King to King Aemon Targaryen (Yeah, I think Jon'll be on the throne, you gonna murder me for it?), Darius will meet a colorful cast of characters, including Princess Aemma Targaryen (based off of the socially awkward yet outspoken and opinionated CrestfallenHeart), Lord Endrew Baratheon and his twin sister Valkyrie (based off of the great sense of humor and overall geniality of illuminatemmie), and Lady Lily Tyrell (based off of my girlfriend who had the sense not to delve into the cancer that is this site). Now, if you can read inside parentheses, you'll think I'm very original 100%, but this is fanfiction so you don't get metaknowledge unless it's in inner monologues so shhhhhhhhh. Without further ado, I hope you enjoy 350 AC, and please do tell me your criticisms, constructive or otherwise. If there's something you'd like to see (no lemons though, unless I can pay an author to write something like that… I suck at romance/sexual fiction), just let me know with a review or a PM. I'm always open to ideas. And now, we delve into the mind of Darius Hill…
