In the beginning...
By Ben Myatt.
IN April of 2002, I was looking around the Daikari section for FFnet, and the thought suddenly struck me that it might be a good idea to get as many Daikari writers together, and attempt to write a giant fic. (More fool me!)
So, whilst this idea was burning it's way through my head, I logged on to hotmail, and sent a short email, asking as many authors as I could find email addresses to join this little venture.
It went better than I'd hoped.
Most people replied, and quite a few were interested, but because of various other commitments, couldn't get involved. Some just turned me down out of hand, but by the end of it, I had seven other authors ready to get involved.
I had already set up a group on Yahoo, for reasons that I wont go into here, and when Digivice pointed out to me how difficult the editing would be via email-strings, I sent out a message to all involved parties asking them to join this webring. Well, most of them did, except for Anthony, who I kept posted on events via email, and then…
It all went quiet. We all had other stuff to do, so the fic took a backseat to other commitments for a while. Eventually, it took a post from Dream_chan to jump-start us again, and the ideas started pouring in, in earnest.
One of our members dropped out, but we carried on regardless, (She'd never bothered to post anyways!) and the following story is the product of what we came up with.
We're taking one chapter each, and I hope to hell that it works, cos I wouldn't want this to be a failure after all the entertainment we had.
Enjoy!
- Ben.

This is my story....
-Jordan LeDoux [DarkStar01]
From the very begginning of my time here at ff.net, I have known the way the world turns: Takari is the majority, Daikari's what I like.
With not many Daikari, or for that matter, remotely Davis-supporting authors out there, it was pretty easy to find some authors that I liked. It started out with me just searching for Daikari stories, but the same author names kept coming up, over and over. The same people kept reviewing my Daikari stories.
Within a short month, I had a top five list of my favorite authors, who often wrote well, at a level well above that of the majority of my friends. Sometimes I wish that we could all meet in person, but uh.... like my disclaimer points out, what I want has little to do with reality.
So when I got the e-mail from Ben asking me if I wanted to write a conglmerate fic, that was Daikari oriented, I completely, 100%, without a second thought, signed my name away to whatever group we were.
All in all, this fic has some big names behind it in the world of Daikari, at least in my eyes. Including authors such as Digivice, my very first reviewer ever, Ben Myatt, whom I first came accross when I read "As Long As She's Happy", Anthony, one of the most helpful and supportive, as well as creative people I have met in a while, and myself of course.
In all honesty, I'm pretty sure that I don't know any of the other authors like I do Anthony, Digivice or Ben, (don't recognize the e-mails ~_^), but I hope that this fic at least lives up to Digivice's, Ben's, and of course my own standards. When it's all over, I hope that you remeber us all for our contribution to the silent end of the Digimon section, because no matter how silent it is, it's still important, at least to me.
I part with this, which is a clip of a poem I wrote titled "The Race"
'When all things are said and done,
There will be only one.
Who should fight and who should win,
Is it me, or my kin.
Whoever is meant for this great baton,
I will finish the race that must be won.'
Ciao
