Note: Well, after shuffling between interests for about a two years, I finally have come close enough to finishing one of the stories to actually release a brief story description ahead of time (due to how short they must be under the actual link) I will not be adding a disclaimer to this one because it's a work of my own crude design. And just to clarify:
Claimer: This is an original work done by user "SigmaEpsalon". To post this on another blog, forum, etc. it must first be sourced, preferably with a link to the version of the story. All character or setting similarities between this story and any other copyrighted work that may or may not arise are purely coincidental. If you've paid for this, you've been screwed over. Hunt down the guy who charged you and get your money back.
Now that that's out of the way, I'd like to take the time to apologize for not updating on Cailcian Chronicles for over two and a half years. Due to my lack of interest in the subject, I can't get a feel for the characters, subsequently causing the collapse of any decent writing addition. This topic, however, is fairly easy for me to write about and if updates don't continue for more than a month, chances are I've either been kidnapped, mutilated upon a fence pole and/or I'm just being lazy. Due to the improbability of the first two possibilities, I recommend that if a situation like that occurs, you should probably start flaming like the world was about to end and you don't have anything else better to do. Eventually, I'll get so tired of gutting my inbox of angry letters that I'll finally start working on the story just to get you guys off of my back. It'll be more likely, however, that my focus will have shifted to yet another topic and sooner or later I will run out of new ideas. When that day comes, get ready for a flood of new stories as I try to finish the dozens of old ones stashed away on PCs across my daily life.
In the mean time though, I'll try not to give up on this one the same way I did Cailcian Chronicles. 'Till next time: Read on and WRITE ON!
Hane-Otokonoko no Ki tells three different stories simultaneously, starting with the story of a shy, middle school graduate, prodigy from the fictional city of Kotaiga. Though he excels at all things Academically related, he lacks almost all practical, civic knowledge of the world around him (Such as failing to use something as simple as a microwave or being unable to hold long conversations). Seeing this, his older brother and what little friends he has decide to give him a crash course in the real world involving everything from earning money in order to buy his own school supplies to dating. Also included is the protagonist's brother and his struggle to pay rent for collage and the decay of Kotaiga it self. There is a small, supernatural-themed subplot that will eventually be revealed as the story continues. The story was inspired by three of the strangest animes in existence: Fooly Cooly, Azumanga Daioh, and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Note: Well that was short! Shouldn't I be working on the story it's self? I promise I'll have it done by next friday (Dec 21st) at the very latest. Well, I'm out for now! Cya…
