This is just an intro to a story I want to try, so give it a shot and tell me what you think in a review, please. Remember, anything you recognize isn't mine. I want to incorporate a lot of allusions to books, songs, videos etc. so see if you can find them!
Dear Republic City,
No... Dear United Nations,
Better but maybe... Dear everyone, be you with the Spirits or not?
How does one start a novel? "Once upon a time"? No, too fairytale-esque. "It was a dark and stormy night"? No, too dark. "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a man in possession of great fortune must be in want of a wife"? Hah, that's completely opposite of what this story is even about.
From what Jinora tells me, what I want to write is an autobiography, but an autobiography is just about the author. Yes, this is my story and this is my point of view, but it's also Jinora's story. And it's Shin's story, Bolin's and Mako's story, Ikki's story, Amon's story, and maybe even your story. Who knows for sure? All I know is that this is gonna be a helluva lot to write and Spirits know how many hand cramps I'm gonna get, so sit back and enjoy the work that has had me shedding blood, sweat, and (surprisingly enough) tears.
I hope you like it enough to justify my carpal tunnel.
