Heli: I'M DONE! *bursts into tears*
Rhage: *edges away* It wasn't that bad.
Heli: *grabs him by the shirt front and hauls him forward* WASN'T THAT BAD!? *snarls* You stole a month of my life to write this thing. You made me cry and pull my hair out and drove my friends nuts because I wouldn't stop talking about it and obsessing over every little fucking detail! And on top of that, I started channeling one of the characters and have been cussing like a god damned sailor! You're such a fucking little scum sucking asswipe!
Rhage: *tries to pry Heli's fingers off without success* But you're proud of it. You can't tell me that you aren't and on top of that, I evolved. That's worth something too. Now we're both stronger writers and have a better grasp of the intricacies of writing.
Heli: *shakes Rhage like a rag doll* I DON'T FUCKING CARE! NO MORE FAN FICTION! You have a prior obligation that you put off to write the Hawk and Lark and blew off again to write Unbroken. No more fan fiction until our novel is done. After that I could care less if you do the Yamamoto fic and try your hand at a Murkuro fic. Hell, I'd even possibly allow a Xanxus fic and lots of little one shots but not until you finish our story!
Rhage: *eyes narrowed* Don't say something you'll regret now, Rachel.
Heli: *laughs coldly* Don't threaten me, boy, or I'll give myself brain damage. Now shut the hell up and get on with the explanation for Unbroken.
Rhage: *snorts and shoves her away before fixing his shirt* Whatever. *looks at readers and smiles, flashing some fang* Hello, my sexy ladies. Unbroken was written about the same way that H & L was with a scene oriented format. Heli feels that it can be confusing at times to figure out how time passes so in a few spots, we've put the amount of time down to clarify (which pisses Heli off to no end cause she thinks it's a lazy trick). The story starts in January and progresses through the year. From what we can guess, the story is set in a more temperate part of Italy where weather is mild as well as before the the start of the series but after Reborn leaves Dino. Unlike The Hawk and Lark, we will try and post chapters for Unbroken whenever we have internet access. This could end up being two times a week or more if lucky. Anything else? *raises brow at Heli*
Heli: If I missed anything or screwed something up, I'm sorry. I did the best that I could with my imagination, sixteen books and a very anal, detail oriented, Beta reader (Largo). I admit to using my creativity to get what I wanted even if it would stray from what was right or culturally expected. My goal was to write a love story for Dino, not be microscopically accurate though I tried my damnedest. If you find something that bothers you enough, PM me about it because Rhage would LOVE to meet you.
Rhage: *glances at Heli* Aren't we in a pissy mood tonight?
Heli: *hisses* I'm only giving the flamers ample warning now. I put my heart, soul, and blood into this damn story, birthed the most amazing character I have ever produced in my eight years of writing, and as previously mentioned, obsessed over it like a creeper. Death will rain down on-
Rhage: *covers Heli's mouth* Don't insult my readers. They're smart enough to know that flaming is against the rules and you're a big girl that can handle any constructive criticism they toss your way. Be thankful and leave the flamers to me *smiles evilly*
Heli: *huffs* Alright. Well I'm done rambling now. Please enjoy Unbroken and review so I know how you feel about it. I'm serious about the reviews. They're the only reason I wrote this story and the only reason I'm posting it. Plus, it amuses me to hear Rhage squeal like a school girl when my phone chimes with my email alert tone (clock tower bells from Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask). Oh and DON'T OWN. DON'T SUE. NO MONEY!
1/4
Heli: Just some final thoughts that I've got on the eve of Unbroken's maiden post. This story is long for a fanfic in my opinion. I'm still worried about the length of it. Each post is worth about 5 pages and there ended up being 30 chapters once I cut it up. Three of the chapters have corresponding shorts that go with them (two lemons and a moldy lime) and I'll warn you when those come up. *blows hair from face* Uhm…I'm still pretty scared about posting this story. I talked it up and spent so much time on it that I don't want to let you guys down but there's nothing I can do now. I gotta suck it up and let Unbroken out into the big bad world.
Rhage: *tugs at Heli's hair* Uhn….bedtime. Sleep. Sleepy time now.
Heli: *pats his head* Hang on. I'm almost done. *yawns* Anyway, I shouldn't be working on anymore fanfiction for awhile I hope. *glares at Rhage* But if anyone has any suggestions on who I could/should/possibly write for next, feel free to let me know who, why, and what could possibly happen. If it doesn't become a story, it could end up as a short. I'm open to yaoi pairings as well.
Rhage: *drags Heli off to bed* Good night, my lovely ladies!
Heli: Zzzzzz…..
