From the Author to the Reader

Howdy folks!

Thank you so much for taking the time to click on this link and taking a gander at my fanfic. I feel that since you have taken the time to read it, then I should take the time to introduce it and explain a few things.

First off, this is my first time writing anything for the pure sake of entertainment of myself and of others. I have more experience writing academic papers than I do writing fiction. I love reading fiction though, but it is one thing to read it and an entirely different thing to write it. I've written RP replies for forums posts before, but those are hardly fanfic length. I plan to make this a few chapters long and may even split it up into two separate stories. That being the case, I can promise that it will not be perfect or pretty. At least not by some of the standards I've set for myself and that have been set by such heavy hitters as Fallout Equatria. I will promise however that I will try and improve with each chapter I write. So, keep on checking back, I may just surprise or disappoint you in the long run. I'm really hoping it's the first one though.

Second thing, this is not a self-insert. Or at least I'm trying not to make it one. Like I said, writing fiction is not something I've dabbled with before so I am taking some "liberties" with the character. I'm trying to make him interesting while not making him out to be an attention whore. Obviously, since this fanfic is based on something I really enjoy and hold close to my heart, it will be hard to not pour a little of myself into him and the events that transpire. I promise however that I will try and make this subtle and not too obvious for those that know me.

Finally, the last thing that I feel I should mention is that this story is aimed to be one of humor, adventure, romance, and sometimes serious or dark topics as well. You will mostly get humor though, or at least, my attempts at humor. I make no promises that you will fall off your chair laughing, but I do promise that I will try and at least get a giggle out of you. As such, I should advice you that my perception of humor is perhaps a bit outdated. Or at least I've been told so by some friends. But if you ask me, nothing wrong with the classics, right?

Any who, I think I've said all I've wanted to say for now. If you want to, please leave comments and suggestions on how to improve. I think this has a feature for that, probably the review option? But still, yeah, leave comments and suggestions if you can and I will try and apply them if I feel them to be appropriate.

Hope you enjoy the story!

P.S. – I'm known to procrastinate and have frequent writer's block. If you don't see an update often, I'm not dead, at least I hope not. I'm most likely counting the bumpy things on my ceiling or passed out on my desk after frequent head bangs onto aforementioned desk. Just a heads up is all.
