Hi hi. I'm brand new to fanfic.net, although I've been reading Akuroku fics on here for a while. I guess that is what finally prompted me to post-there are only so many that I like, so I wanted to throw my hat in the ring, as they say. I think that‘s what they say…

This is a little hypocritical of me, I suppose, because generally I don't like fan fiction. It used to rile me, and a lot of it still does, but I've found I'm drawn to Akuroku (which is the only fan fic I'll be publishing, btb) because, unlike most slash, OTPs, etc., it has some plausibility, I think. It’s not necessarily “cannon,” but I wouldn’t assert that it’s so far outside the cannon as to be absolutely impossible either. There exists far more of the “what if?” then many other popular fan fic pairings out there.

That being said, I wrote and published this, my first story, with that in mind. I wrote this not as an AU, but imagining endings following endings and then new beginnings. I consciously kept the personalities of these characters, as I understand them, in mind; not as I want them to be, but as they have been crafted by the original creators.

If there’s one thing I cannot tolerate about fan fiction it’s the total disregard for an artist’s original vision, which is why I will never write it based on completed stories with definite endings. That, and honestly-in many ways it is plagiarism, and I wish more people would keep that in mind. You may state “these characters aren’t mine” but by claiming the story as your own, you are still plagiarizing the work of someone else. Like I said, I’m a bit of a hypocrite for being here; I’m not being preachy, I simply want to be honest with my readers and I want them to consider those things. And hey, I am always open for a good debate, but debates should remain considerate. I don’t respond to anyone who, if they don’t agree with me, can’t be mature and civil about it. You will find me at least mature and civil in return.

That said, I love the stories and themes within Kingdom Hearts, and the nature of it, not only as a video game, invites us, I feel, to continue many possible stories in our own minds. That is another part of the reason I feel comfortable writing or drawing me some Akuroku.

I write the kinds of stories I want to read. I don’t write gratuitous violence, gratuitous romance-novel sex, or drug use. There are a few stories I’ve gotten sucked into that do include those elements, but generally I avoid them. For example, I have noticed that A LOT of people write Roxas as a total bitch and Axel as a delinquent drug user. I’ll just say that I will not.

Alright, so now that I’ve either pissed off or irritated most of you, if you’re willing to give me a shot, I hope you enjoy this, my first story. It’s not what I will call finished yet (I’m a little stuck on where to go next) but I like it thus far. I occasionally appreciate positive and constructive comments n_n I look forward to hearing from you, dear readers!
