18. The State of Suburban Brawlers

Hello my readers, who I have developed a parasocial relationship with. It's me, JojoTeck, the man who has made one (1) (uno) fanfiction, ever, and apparently, struck gold with it.

I trust you don't really want an explanation as to why I've missed so much, and I know I don't need to do this, but here it is. When I made this fanfiction, in the senior year of high school, TWO YEARS AGO, this was my only creative project. Since then, I have been made to do a litany of things which include game design and two years of college creative writing, where I felt I didn't want to be submitting a fanfiction every month.

Thing is, this story somewhat embarrasses me on the virtue of it being a fanfiction, which is weird, because the reasons for that are all reasons which I could easily avoid. Things like, needing consistent uploads, barely editing or reviewing it before publishing, and of course, trying to translate something which should be an anime or manga into what is essentially an ebook.

I also, y'know, lost interest. The whole reason I had consistent inspiration to write this in the first place was because at the time of writing it, Jojo's bizarre adventure Part 5 was being released, and then I read the rest of Jojo's to continue that inspiration. I was Jojo'd out, as it were, and even with stone ocean airing currently...I mean, let's be honest, why would I want to reexperience stone ocean?

All that said, this story has a special place in my heart, because it's the first one which I've written over one hundred pages for. I'm pretty sure it still is. It's gonna be hard, not gonna lie, and there's a possibility that this is embarrassingly the last chapter written for this story, but I want to finish this. I love these characters, I love this story, and I love the ending I have planned out. It may be a little bit rushed, but we're gonna get there.

I don't like the two Iron Maiden chapters. I have uploaded them, for their long exposition and weird fight scenes, as inspiration for myself. For I am not to leave you with my least favorite chapters. I am to leave you with the greatest chapters ever written for a Jojo fanfiction, or (dare I say) all of fiction, as a whole.

Thank you all for your kind words left in the reviews. Even that one review, which I always looked at and laughed a little bit, which I admit might be a little bit cruel. I forgive you, for whatever the hell you want my forgiveness for. You may harass me with how good my story is all day.
