The Making of "Staunch Fan" – Part one

It was a dark, dark, night, under the flickering candlelights; a person slouched over her desk…

It was 10.30pm… under the flickering light bulbs, someone sat before her computer…

"I think I know what to do – oh shucks, I have six incomplete fics on hand, and I'm thinking of starting a new fic? The readers will probably kill me…"

Like anyone reads her fic anyway.

"But I just can't resist the idea of a girl who is charmingly boyish and is the childhood friend of Sendoh…ah, heck it!"

The keyboard went 'tap' 'tap' 'tap' furiously…

"Two hundred and four…two hundred and five…two hundred and six…"

The orange ball fell through the net again and again. The remaining rays of the sun cast a lingering sweep through the basketball court, leaving the tall figure there, cast in silhouette.

"What should I entitle this fic? Anything, "Staunch Fan" it would be. Don't ask me what it meant, I can't remember what anyway."

Eriko: Grr!

Sendoh: Oh, guess what? A girl gave me a love letter today.

Eriko: So? They do that all the time. I'm always your dustbin…do I look like one?

Sendoh: …It's a wonder if you'll ever become a girlfriend, tomboy. I told her no, of course, and she didn't believe me. And oh, goodness, I suddenly became a gay, for those who believed I wasn't your boyfriend.

Eriko: [Stare][Stare]

Sendoh: W…what?

Eriko: You mean you aren't a gay?

Sendoh: I'm bi-sexual, you know.

Eddie: Wait…wait! That's not in the script!!!!!! SENDOH AKIRA!!!!!!!!! I don't need you to announce your sexuality to everyone now! Grr… RE-ROLL!

Sendoh: …It's a wonder if you'll ever become a girlfriend, tomboy. I told her no, of course, and she didn't believe me. And oh, goodness, I suddenly became a gay, for those who believed I wasn't your boyfriend.

Eriko: [Stare][Stare] My eyes are watering from all these staring…

Eddie: [Grips fists]

Please picture a lion roaring.
