The story "The Beginning of Forever" was first published as "Princess Serenity's Revenge," a tale of a princess who goes against everything she was taught to follow her heart. Although I got many good reviews for my first story, when I went back to read it again I felt that the plot was good...however, the writing bordered on terrible.
After some consideration, I decided that I would like to re-write the story. Due to my great interest in romance novels, I also decided that instead of glossing over some parts as I had before, I would go into greater detail.
Considering that I am now a college student and when I wrote the original story I was in ninth grade, I think I have improved greatly in both writing skills and knowledge. I still remember sitting in my Biology class writing "PSR." ^_^
This was an off and on project that I actually started during my senior year of high school. It's taken so long not because it needed that much fixing, but because I'm the epitome of procrastination and only reading the fan fiction of others has spurred me on.
At first, I began posting this story in installments under the pseudonym "Lady Ariana Silverwood," but soon got bored of the story and stopped. After a while, I decided it was better to post under my real name (the original name I used) and post it only after I had completed the whole story. Unfortunately, "impatient" is another one of my flaws, so I decided to post some of the chapters and hope my bout of writer's block would soon end.
This story takes place in somewhat of an alternate reality. There is no Queen Beryl and the Moon Kingdom was not attacked. The Sailor Senshi exist insomuch as that they are Princess Serenity's personal guard. There are no Sailor Stars.
I changed the timeline of the Moon Kingdom's existence because it suited the story better. Instead of it being 1000 years before modern times (as stated in the original story timeline) it is modern times.
The basic summary of this story:
|
Princess Serenity of the Moon and Prince Endymion of the Earth meet one eathlit night in the Moon Kingdom's gardens. Although only fifteen, Serenity is swept into her first real romance and she's sure she's meet her one true love. After Serenity's sixteenth birthday, she and Endymion are forbidden from seeing each other. Serenity's parents had betrothed her to another man. Acting in the usual rebellious teenage manner, Serenity devises a plan to make her parents regret their actions. Serenity, being far too impulsive to heed the famous words "look before you leap," acts on this plan. Much to her parents' horror and society's shock, the consequence of her plan is soon evident. Serenity and Endymion elope to live on Earth in the bustling city of Tokyo, Japan. They take new names and new identities and make a living for themselves. Meanwhile, back on the Moon, the royal family and the Sailor Senshi are searching for their princess. |
I hope you enjoy reading my story as much as I enjoyed writing it. I must say, sometimes my characters do get away from me. ^_^ I always appreciate comments, so feel free to drop me an e-mail at any time.
As a last comment I would like to add that I am willing and able to edit people's fan fiction. I've always been good in English and have a flair for language and a talent with punctuation. ^_^ Of course, if my inbox is suddenly flooded with stories, I can't promise that I'll always be able to do it...but that's looking a bit too optimistically into the future.
Anyway, my eager audience, the story awaits. ^_^
