FOREWORD


Welcome to the first volume of Ninja Tales!

I started writing Ninja Tales on here on FanFiction almost 10 years ago. YES IT'S BEEN THAT LONG!

At the time, I was still pretty new at writing in general, and as I wrote Yuki's story, I realised there was no way I would able to write out the initial plot I had for her without making her a total Mary Sue. Just as I was about to give up hope in 2013, I met Aidan (AKA ACSywalker). After noting some of my issues with the fiction he proposed the idea to have 'Ninja Tales' officially become a part of his 'Walker' series. Turns out this series is a collection very intricate stories involving fandoms being parallel universes, time travel and more. And with the way he wrote the lore, I could loosely follow the initial plot ideas I had without butchering Yuki's entire character. Yay!

Unfortunately, I'd already written myself into a corner at that point (plus the Naruto manga was only completed in late 2014), so I'm starting over here.

With Aidan studying filmmaking, I not only learned how to write compelling characters, but also how to pace myself and how to divide arcs up properly to flow better.

Yeah... so without further a do, let me officially present a new and shiny revamp of Ninja Tales!


For anyone wondering, the Japanese parts in the title are the direct translations of the English parts:

忍者物語 (Ninja Monogatari) = "Ninja Tales"/"Ninja Story"

降雪 (Kōsetsu) = "Falling snow"
