Living With the Hero

by BlakBlt2

Set after the Imprisoning War. Link has finally defeated Ganondorf, and just wants to settle down to a semi-normal life. But nothing can ever be normal when you're the Hero of Time. Malon x Link. Rated M, because that's where I'm going to take it.

11. Author's Note

Hey Guys!

BlakBlt2 here. I know that it's been awhile since I've added onto my stories…5 months to be exact. I could make excuses, but that's not how I roll. Just know that I'm back to writing. And know that I'm not the kind of person to leave a story unfinished, and if it did have to happen, you would at least know. I wouldn't just vanish. I've seen enough of those stories out there, and they annoy me to no end.

If you're reading my other story as well, "Life After Near Death", then please know that it is being placed on the proverbial back burner. I started that one when I had a raging fire in my belly to write some Death Note fics, and that fire has since dwindled quite a bit. I could probably go ahead and spit out some stuff real quick, but I know that anything I write under those conditions would suck horribly. I really like to take pride in what I put out there, and couldn't, in good conscious, give my readers something that I knew I hadn't tried my hardest on.

So, I'll be focusing on "Living With the Hero" and might be starting another Zelda fanfic staring Link and Midna. There really aren't enough out there, and I think that it's something that's really overlooked. I've also got some ideas for it that would let you, the reader, have a say in how the story goes. Not the overall story, but certainly the details. I want to try a kind of "Choose Your Own Adventure" idea. Maybe Link's got to go rescue Midna from someone's evil clutches…He can go retrieve the Master Sword first, or rush off ill-equipped. Grabbing the Master Sword, he might win, but you might miss out on a very touching Link\Midna scene where she's nursing him back to health in the dungeons. It's all up to the readers. Naturally, however, this would mean that for these particular chapters, I couldn't even start writing until a decision had been reached, but I think it'd be nice to let the readers have a say in the shape of the story.

But for now, I'm starting chapter 11 of "Living With the Hero". Look back here for that particular chapter, as it will probably be replacing this Author's Note (I think leaving the Author's Note here just detracts from the story for those readers who come along later, having to stop and read something that's outdated if the new chapter goes up). If you want to, head over to my profile, and work your way to the forums. All of my in-progress (that I'm working on) stories will have a forum here, and you can discuss the story here, and keep an eye out, because I might just leave some chapter previews here too. ;)

So, until the chapter is out, this is farewell.

Peace,

BlakBlt2
