Hell's Lover Boy

by Sinuhe - The lonely Egyptian

A young boy strives to one day become one of the world's greatest orators before the day of his early, eventual death. But his life takes a drastic turn when a discarded love letter leads him to confront the supernatural. Thrust into the midst of a realm battered by civil unrest, he will go forward as the arbitrator between the worlds, the one known simply as: Hell's Lover Boy.

25. ANNOUNCEMENT: ORIGINAL WORK

Dear readers,

I wanted to share something with you all. I've been desiring to take the next step in my hobby as a writer and begin to publish ORIGINAL works. I was wondering where to begin when a thought hit me: "What if I published Hell's Lover Boy as a standalone web novel?" What do I mean? I mean, change some things around and publish Hell's Lover Boy as a completely separate, completely original work. I've been looking closely at the nature of my fanfic and I've noticed that, with how drastically I've changed everything, this truly does feel like a separate series. The Issei I've written throughout this story is very much a drastically and radically different Issei from the one originally written by Ichiei Ishibumi (the original author and owner of High School DxD). The Issei I've written here in this fanfic is very much my OWN Issei; and you've all LOVED him for that. I've gotten so many reviews about how you guys think he's so compelling, and admirable; and how the story is so fresh and vivid. It all just begs the question: "What's keeping me from just changing some things around and making it a completely original work?" So, that's what I'm going to do; BUT I'M KEEPING THE FANFIC. I'm going to switch some things around so I can publish Hell's Lover Boy as an original work; BUT I AM NOT-I REPEAT: AM NOT-GOING TO STOP THE FANFIC. Besides, if so many people love this story as a fanfic, how many more will love it as an original work? So, I'm going for the best of both worlds. Be warned, I don't think my web novel will have some of the more NSFW content that we'll have here in the fanfic. Or maybe it will, who knows? Jay Kristoff does it in his Nevernight series, I don't see why I can't do it for mine. But I digress. If I can make a feasible career out of writing, I'll take that chance. I've heard many stories of writers who got started by publishing what was essentially fanfiction? Could I be one more? Only time will tell.

Stay safe, I can't imagine losing any of my readers to the virus, and have a wonderful rest of the day/evening,

Sinuhé Elías Zarzuelero Herrera, the Lonely Egyptian
