Authors notes

If you've read this far, then I thank you for taking the time to read my first fan fiction story. If you haven't, but have decided to read these notes anyway, then perhaps you will be kind enough to keep reading.

You may be wondering what the story is, and possibly what it isn't. Allow me to elaborate. It is not a romance, although it will likely involve romantic elements, this is not your usual Tidus x Yuna or Rikku x Auron etc. So if this is what you are expecting, you will be woefully disappointed. There will be no "lemon" either, although I think the moderators have stepped in to take that possibility away, anyway.

The story is, and hopes to be an Alternate Universe story that is a crossover in a different sense. It is not a crossover in the sense that it is Character from X finding themselves in a world from Y. This is a crossover in the sense that it has taken elements from another fantasy story (Lord of the Rings) and attempted to merge fluidly with the story and characters of Final Fantasy X.

The story intends to be split into six separate stories, all published separately, and each containing roughly ten chapters. I understand these chapters may appear long, and potentially this may be off putting to some people who are curious about reading my story. I have qualms with small chapters, numerous chapters of roughly a few hundred words. I believe it ruins immersion, but that is only my opinion, and not I'm sure the opinion of readers who frequently read fan fiction.

You may also feel overwhelmed that I published it immediately in its entirety. This was done due to my frustration and some stories that I believe were enjoyable to read and felt had potential being shelved abruptly. So I made the decision to publish in its entirety so that If I ever do decide to shelve this project, at least then there is some complete element to the story that can be read.

I do hope this story gets read and reviewed as it is my first story, and I am an aspiring writer. The experience and feedback I gain here will be most useful to me when I begin to write an actual novel of my own. I humbly request that anybody who has read some of my story, please give me feedback. Leave a review etc. Your opinions will be of great value to me. I want to write the remaining five books, but in order to do so I must be convinced that there are people here who are and do wish to read them. Otherwise I will feel I may as well dedicate my time to other things.

So, I thank you, and I sincerely hope that you enjoy this story.

Maechen.
