A few notes:
I don't plan on featuring the main characters of SAO much in this fanfic. I plan on writing about separate characters trapped during the SAO Incident. The main characters may be mentioned or encountered, but I don't plan on writing from their points of view.
Many of the character names I'm planning on using were usernames used by myself or my friends in the past. I'm simply using the usernames, not trying to place them in this story. The characters I'll be using are all fictional. (So if you happen to see your username used in this story, chill out and take it as a compliment.)
Also, I wrote out Kayaba's speech for the "Tutorial" from the anime, not the books, just in case anyone is a stickler for these things. :p
Lastly, all my characters will be written in the third person. Reki Kawahara only writes Kirito in the first person, and since I won't be writing Kirito's POV, I figured I'd keep with his style in that regard.
Disclaimer:
And, of course, the disclaimer! I don't own SAO or any of the characters created by Reki Kawahara. Don't sue me.
Also:
I haven't written fanfiction in years (as in many years), so please be nice with any feedback!
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy!
