A/N : Hello there , everybody ! Yes , this is The Fandom Otaku-kun writing here ! I am writing this author note in BOLD because it is evident , in my opinion , that I apologize to everyone in advance , especially to my loyal followers and readers . Remember when I said that I promised I will continue writing ? Yes , I am keeping my promise ! But...I will need to postpone it as I am really busy . No , not the typical excuse you might have in mind . I really am busy because I am 17 years old this year and since I am a Malaysian , I will be taking a very important examination that will literally determine my college , university and working life ! No pressure , right ? If you are interested in finding out more about it , please Google 'Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia' .
As I was saying , I kind of hit a rock in the midst of all this and the only way I could think of , to distract myself was writing more fanfictions . I really know that you guys would prefer me continuing my previous Fairy Tail and Brothers Conflict fanfictions , but...I just can't seem to have the motivation to write it , at the moment . I'm sorry for being selfish , but just bear with me , okay ? :) I got this idea from me being an admin on many pages on Facebook , so if there are any social media here with names that are quite similar with coincidentally similar functions then...keep it to ourselves , okay ? ;) I place all my faith in you , Reader-chan / Reader-kun !
Disclaimer : I do not own Fairy Tail . Never have and sadly , never will . BUT I do own this plot and the idea of it . So plagiarism is a big no-no here .

Introduction .
"Have you heard about it ? It's getting quite popular nowadays !"
A certain blond leaned the weight of her head against the freshly-wiped window of the train she was currently boarding . Not long ago , she had swiped her privileged transportation card along the motion sensors of the train entrance . Now she was standing in her usual spot , one hand grasping the cold metal pole and another held her school bag . It was the same old routine . Lucy Heartfilia got up at 6 o'clock sharp , made her bed , took her breakfast before having a quick wash . The female had timed herself from her first year of high school and found she only took about 20 minutes , the latest , to get all that done . After she was certain that she looked presentable in her school uniform , she would walk to the train station closest to her apartment before boarding the 6.50 a.m. train to Sakura Valley before spending another five minutes walking to her school . Lucy sighed for the first time she got on the train that morning before shifting her eyes back to the view that she was offered from her standing .
"Really ? I didn't think it would . It's been what ? A week ?" , another voice replied before yawning once more , obviously still not fully awake .
"Yes ! Yes ! Mayu-chan told me there were a thousand visitors already and that wasn't counting yesterday and now !" , the first voice replied back , excitedly .
It wasn't as if Lucy was a keen listener to gossips , but she admitted that it was more entertaining than watching the same old trees outside the moving vehicle sway in the wind everyday .
"Oh really ? It's just a site for weird people who liked to draw and write . Besides , aren't there many other sites like that ?" , the sleepy-headed male replied the shorter female who was sitting beside him .
A yelp was heard coming from the latter as the female seated next to him punched him on the forearm a little too roughly . "Ouch ! What the hell was that for ?" , the male's voice now sounded fully awake and Lucy could imagine the annoyed look on his face at this moment .
"Toshi Amazaki ! Are you calling your own girlfriend a weirdo ?" , the female , whom Lucy presumed was pouting now whilst trying to sound furious , replied .
The male , Lucy presumed , Toshi Amazaki , stuttered a reply back , "N-No , Ma-chan...I'm sorry ." . There was a brief moment of silence before his girlfriend perked up to her usual state , "It's alright , Toshi-kun !" . The blond could have sworn she heard a sigh of relief from the male but both their thoughts were interrupted by the enthusiastic female again .
"Anyways , FioreConnect is quite a nice site . I read that this site was specifically created for people who liked to draw and roleplay , especially if they roleplayed their own character that they have drawn . Besides that , this site is like a combination of many social medias out there . You can 'friend' someone , or even just 'follow' them and even if you just 'followed' them , you could always leave a comment or 'kudos' on their art work or whatever piece they've written ." , she heaved a breath to intake all the Oxygen she had lost .
Lucy's eyebrow twitched lightly and she unconsciously leaned more against the pole just so she could hear more of this conversation .
"Isn't that unsafe and stuff ?" .
"Nope ! It's the opposite actually . Because according to Mayu-chan , FioreConnect has an auto-scan or some auto-read programme where they will cross reference all your work with other users' ones so that no artwork is plagiarized . And if there were , the original artist's one will be remained on their profile while the plagiarizer will be black-listed ." .
And that was all Lucy Heartfilia heard before tuning out the couple .
She had never run faster back home in her life .
As soon as the bells of Fiore's International Academy chimed , Lucy Heartfilia had found herself in a race against time . No , it wasn't a matter of life or death for her . But it was for her social life . Despite her outer appearance , despite her golden blond locks that shined in the rays of sunlight , despite those big dark brown orbs she was gifted with that seemed to burn into the soul of everyone she stared at and even despite that soft smile she would plaster to everyone she met , young or old , she had no friends . No , she wasn't lonely . She didn't seclude or isolate herself from others . It's just...she didn't take anyone to be her actual friend . Classmate , yes , but friend ? No . To her , a friend was a big word . Or even a bombastic one . But for the sake of fitting it in the right category , the word 'Friend' , to her held deep meaning .
Closing her apartment door with a loud 'Bam' , she made , or rather , ran her way , to her room , quickly switching her laptop on before taking a seat on her leathered-office chair .
Welcome , Lucy Heartfilia !
"Yeah , yeah ." , she mumbled to herself , thanking whoever up there that she wasn't born a computer file hoarder , enabling her electronic devices to boot up with much needed speed .
– What would you like to find out ?
The blond blinked for a moment as she tried to recollect the name of the site the couple , or rather , the female in the train , was talking about .
– FioreConnect
Lucy waited as her Wi-Fi connection decided to have a really quick break before loading the page .

Welcome to FioreConnect !
FioreConnect is not your ordinary site .
See what we mean ?
We embrace the fact that not everyone of us in the real world is as scientific or logical as the other could be . In fact , we hate to be compared to people who sit in labs mixing solutions up in hopes of finding the next Big Bang Theory .
Okay , fine . That was a Physics reference to something Chemistry .
Now you see what we mean ?

Now , here is a series of questions . If all your answer to these questions are a 'Yes' , please stay put .
Are you a word fanatic who just can't stop writing even if you wanted to ? Even if the world was to combust into nothingness at any given moment ? Or even when you are in dire need to use the bathroom at this moment but you are just too captivated by the beauty of this site you have humbly stumbled upon ? Or even-
….Second question . Do you love the very idea of art ? Do you wake up at night feeling this tingly sensation in your eyes and when you open them , you seem to be seeing incoherent lines or words floating arounnnnnnnd ? As though~~~~~~~
We have no idea what you are talking about . We did not purposely add extra n's nor did we add any of '~' lines anywhere . This must be a sign for you .
If the answer to all these very difficult questions are a flat 'No' , please refer to question one again and re-answering the questions above . Keep re-answering until the answer to all those questions are a 'Yes' .

Having doubts about our sanity ? Well , we have a secret for you . Come closer .
No , closer .
….You call that closer ?! We need you right in front of the screen to read why you should not have any doubts about our sanity .
Yes , like that ! Okay . So why trust our sanity , hmm ?
