RavInX : Two Hearts beat as One

by Dixxy

Two Sorceresses. Two Hearts. But in the end... ONE Love ! They used to be enemies, they will be more than friends. But any kind of so-called "forbidden love" is hard to live freely... Almost only emotions and feelings : tenderness, care, but also dread, worry... and so little brief descriptive scenes. Dedicated to my FFriend xXSoulDragonXx, dearest to my heart. N'JOY !

RavInX : Two Hearts beat as One

)))) FoReWoRd ((((

Howdy, Folks ! :D

So for those of ya who don't know me, ya have to know that I'm one of those chatty authors who can't start a story wzout writing a "Foreword", i.e. an introduction where I hint a bit about the story, the plot, the characters aso. So for those of ya (repetition much ? ;D) who are of the impatient kind – and don't misunderstand me : I DO respect that kind ! :D -, ya can skip this part and press that "Next" button at the end. And for those who don't mind reading this intro : my gratitude is all yours !

So early this morning (July 15th), I published a horror one-shot titled SPOOKY, and there I am already starting a new fic' that'll be completely different. Not a one-shot, and nothing to do wz horror, this time. The thing is, I like changing styles regularly, to avoid monotony.

No, this one will actually be… a love story ! So yeah, completely different from the last dreadful stuff, eh eh ! I already put romance in other stories of mine, but it generally never was the central theme of the plot (although a prominent topic in my first sTTory, 8). The only exception was my MBC fiction A HUNDRED MILLION SUNS, a lesbian love story, in which feelings constituted the core of the plot.

Well, this one new fic' here also will be a girlXgirl romance. If you've read the brief description of the story, you shall know by now who the girls involved are. I've always had a soft spot for these 2 females, and thought that their similar mastery of magic, "strong" nature, gothic clothes and pale complexion would account good enough for my "putting them together".

And why would a mature male write a lesbian love story, might you ask ? So first of all, there are no sexual scenes involved - at most could I put 2-3 brief snogging moments, but no further than this (hence the T rating) – so I don't do it out of voyeurism or perversity. Clearly not. And those doing it for such reasons must get examined and cured quick quick quick ! XD No, in fact I've had a long-time interest in women's feelings, tenderness, love, but also fears, dreads, doubts. I'm honestly more interested in female psychological patterns, female natures than male ones. That explains why I've been called a feminist. But, funnily enough, it happens to be true : I AM a feminist, thus the living proof that feminists are notstrictly women ! :D Therefore do I have more consideration for women than for men… but I certainly don't despise men neither : I just respect them a tad less, because I think they do more mischief than women, in general. Hope I'm not hurting anyone's sensibility here. But that's my own subjectivity.

So much for opening my heart and speaking totally sincerely to my audience. See, I'm the straightforward kind, so I basically tend to expose the plain truth, may others like it… or not. But sincerity is always preferable, no matter what, I've learned.

To sum it up, this fic' here will involve mostly feelings of one person for another… of the same gender. These feelings will range from positive ones, such as tenderness, love and joy, to negative ones such as fear, doubt or anger. The idea is really to give ya readers an insight on the characters' "inner life", i.e. feelings and emotions (in this respect, I will probably include the emoticlones at some point… coz, eh eh, I love them ! Great idea that these embodiments of emotions, btw ! Kudos to the one who had that idea !)

Right. I think ya have a general idea of the whole picture. Needless to say that homophobes are most UNwelcome here, and that I shall ignore negative feedback relating to lesbian haters. But on the contrary, all CONS-TRUC-TIVE criticism is most welcome, and I'm pleased in anticipation to read your feedbacks on the story. Just one thing : please DO develop your review a bit, and don't just put banal stuff already seen 10'000'000 times at least, such as "nice chapter", "luv this story" or "please update". Coz these honestly are no REAL reviews. A good review is one that would let the author(ess) know how ya feel exactly about the chappy, why ya liked it, what suggestions ya wanna make about style, grammar and such. If ya put these elements in your feedback, then you're doing the correct job of reviewing… whereas those super-short comments I've mentioned, while still supportive to the author, are kinda frustrating, as they are so banal and "lazy"…

Oh, one last thing : the third letter of the title "RavInX" is a "i" in upper case, not a "L" in lower case. Title's a blend between "Raven" and "Jinx"… but cunning you's probably had got it all, eh ? ;))) And as for the second part, TWO HEARTS BEAT AS ONE refers to the song of the same name by U2, taken from their album WAR, back in 1983 (the one which contained SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY and NEW YEAR'S DAY).

And now's time to shut my big mouth and let ya enjoy that fiction. Fingers X you'll like it. So, without further ado, time for me to conclude with my trademark-formula to ya readers :

N'JOY !
