The Next Tournament, The New Fighter
Not a Chapter, Just a Note for Those of Us Who Don't Like Mary-Sues
Authoress's Ramble: Thanks to the few people who reviewed. I did a little bit of reading this fic, and the fics of other very talented authors and authoresses, namely the one called Ordinary (I forget who the authoress was) and found out that mine was starting to sound like a Mary-Sue. And I'll admit that's how it was probably going to end up if I wasn't very careful. So, I promise to try to write it without it being a Mary-Sue- but you're going to have to tell me if it starts sounding like one and I'll fix it. Who knows? Maybe there might be a little bit of yaoi. I have two couples in mind.
While we're on the topic of fixing this story, who wants me to do detail on the fight scenes? The way I write them now sounds pretty lame, so I think I might need a bit of advice. Does anyone care to help out a poor authoress who has no idea what to do?
Oh yes, one more thing. Larissa and Hikari aren't going to be my only two female characters, and it's more likely than not that they'll still be single by the end of the tournament. Remember Kage, the rabid fangirl in the bottom of the last chapter's notes? She's going to be back, and I might add in a few guy characters for gender equality. Does it sound good?
Hiei: If she tries to hug me again….
Kage: * rolls eyes * Don't flatter yourself, short stack. I wouldn't do it again if Alesca paid me to.
Alesca: Be nice, or there won't be any humor and I'll kill you all off right after the tournament.
Hiei: You have to catch me first.
Alesca: * catches him * I am omnipotent, you keep forgetting that. Keep this up, and I'll have you sharing a room with Touya.
Touya: I'm an announcer; we don't share rooms with the fighters.
Alesca: What did I just tell Hiei? I AM OMNIPOTENT. And you'll only have to share if you and Hiei start acting up again.
Hikari: Hurry and upload this chapter before I blow the circuitry in your house.
Alesca: Fine, whatever. And for those who thought it, Hikari and Kurama weren't together. She just killed him, that's all.
