Author's Note:
Kisara's Story was begun as a lark nearly five years ago. I was struck by the image of a girl in white with great blue eyes and as I wrote religiously then, I wanted to tell something of her story. And so, eons later, the tale I began remains untold still.
Time takes a toll on everything, and my writing is not exempt. My style has changed so drastically, and I like to entertain the idea that I have matured both personally and within my writing as well. I have learned that stories require a great deal more work than I was perhaps willing to invest at the time, and storytelling is in fact exhausting work, the more one delves into it.
I resolved that I would rewrite Kisara, fix all the plot holes, flesh out the characters, tell a story that wasn't necessarily about the end but the journey there. I still believe that the original intent of my story, while perhaps was lost during the first draft, is still a good one, and so I shall stick as faithfully to the original plot as my editing will allow. Fanfiction also carries the curious weight of not creating characters, which may indeed be more liberating, but instead working with the idea of someone's character and understanding that while Seto Kaiba might indeed be more likable if he showed emotion, his inherent nature is the opposite. Bearing this in mind, I have delayed and instead focused more on my life, my work, my studies.
This is a start, more like a catharsis than a story at this point. I do promise that Kisara will be finished, and sooner rather than later. Because even still, the girl with blue eyes and a dragon in her soul haunts me.
Look for a new story posted soon.
