Project: Telmor Version 3.0

by Karu Leonnese

Author's Notes

This is it. Finally, my attempt at a novelette, or whatever. Note the emphasis on the word attempt. I'm not very good at long works. I tend to jump from project to project quickly, so if I hope to get anything done, I have to do short stories. But now I think I can try this. I had started this idea awhile ago, under another anime, but it didn't work. The idea itsself was good, so I decided to try it again, with Slayers charas. The first setup didn't work either, so I lost interest. Now I'm coming back to it yet again, which makes me think this idea is too good to leave alone.

This is an AU fic, with new characters, no magic (for the humans at least) and a more modern time setting. I'm hoping it will be much better skill- wise than the last version. I'm going for a more descriptive, better- written work than I started with, and any one of the few (and I mean few) readers of Version 1.0 should know that the rewrite will be pretty different from the original. And that's a good thing. And no one at all got to read Ver. 2.0, so I'm not worried about that.

Most of my logic on the myths in this story are a combination of well-known theories and my own additions and subtractions. They are not meant for anything than to develop things in this fic, and not meant to be taken as truth.

I do not own some of the characters used in this story, although a few are of my own creation and colaberation with others. Those characters belong to myself and whomever they are based on. The Slayers personas belong to their respective creators and rightholders, and are mearly used in this story, however OOC they may be. I'm making no money off this, and it's for nothing more than a hope of creativity.

Flames are accepted, if only to be MSTed and laughed at. Constructive critism is definately accepted and encouraged. Just let me know someone's reading this.

In other words, please direct all lawsuits and death threats to my brothers, not me. ^.^
