Hello! So this story has a bit of history and stuff so I thought I'd put a quick introduction about it before I post the first chapter.
Phoenix Rose is a story I started writing in 2014, when I saw this idea on this website. Anyway, the person was writing a Fairy Tail story about their own guild but instead of creating every single character themselves, they put up a form and asked people to submit their OC's and after a certain period of time, they would select the number they needed and use those OC's in their story. I thought it was pretty cool, so I decided to do it as well.
My end result was this. My guild Phoenix Rose, along with all the OC's people had given me. It was actually a lot of fun! But by around halfway through last year, around chapter 40, I was struck with the terrible writer's block. I kinda knew what I wanted to happen but I didn't know how to write it and I also kind of didn't want to.
And I kinda stopped using this website all together, which is also sad. But I am a writer and Phoenix Rose has never left my head. Around the start of this year I went back and read all the old chapters and realised how god awful my writing was back then. I was cringing for at least half of the chapters. So I forced it upon myself that I was going to rewrite this story.
Mainly because two of my own OC's that I put into this story, Kanade and Kazuya, have changed a lot since 2014. Kanade used to be named "Kaity" I used to ship her with Natsu (*cringe*) and I'll be honest here, she was OP as hell. Like, wow okay, she used to make Kirito look good. As with Kazuya, he used to be a demon slayer and a requip wizard (again, OP much?), he used to have an exceed (why me?! only dragon slayers have exceeds!) and all this other stuff.
I said I was going to make this short whoops. Anyway, that's the basic history of Phoenix Rose. I'll post a chapter with credits to all the owners of the characters later and chapter 1 will be up as soon as possible but I currently don't have word on my laptop so it might take a while.
I've started drawing all the characters too so I'll probably post a new one with every chapter. The drawing on this chapter is a drawing of Kanade and her exceed, Rita, I drew last year.
