An Author's note of lengthy proportions.

So another author had the superific idea of testing the waters for their upcoming story, Cinderella, Please be mine.* It's already been published. A brilliant story, by the way.* I hope they don't mind me doing the same for my next fic! It's still in the draft stages, but I wanted to see if people would actually read and get some enjoyment out of this. There's no point in pouring yourself into a fic that's not going to be enjoyed by anyone.

Sister-in-law is going to be an ever so slight mixture of Monster-in-Law and Bride Wars. I'm such a sucker for those wedding comedy things!

Pairings: I want to write a story focusing on each main couple, so don't get upset if it's not the one you like, coz I will get around to it! If you have any suggestions on stories you'd like me to write on involving your fav pairings, let me know! I decided to give Michi a go in this fic. PrincessJaded will probably be jumping up and down right about now!:) Other couples involved: Takari, Kenyako, Sorato.

Basic plot: Kari Yagami is a successful twenty one year old photographer and a hopeless romantic. She is sweet, kind and everyone's favorite person. Kari has a wonderful relationship with her older brother Tai. Her life is just about perfect, until she gets news of her brother's engagement to none other than superstar singer/model Mimi Tachikawa. Feeling strongly that Mimi is not the woman for Tai, Kari's passive nature takes a back seat and all out war breaks out between the future sister-in-law and the bride-to-be! It'll be pretty comical to see how Kari sabotages things and how Mimi gets back at Kari! Will Mimi be able to convince Kari that she truly loves Tai and that they both have the same goal of ensuring his happiness? We shall see!

Notes: I know that Kari isn't a vindictive character, but I got the impression from the second season that she has the potential to get nasty when she feels someone she cares about-namely family- is threatened. I know you're probably tired of my OC characters from the other fic, 101 Kisses, but I needed more characters as fillers. So I only picked 2. Rena- features as Kari's best friend next to Miyako. And only appearing shortly, Kaede- featuring as Tai's ex girlfriend. (please don't think I favor her!)

Well, that's the basic rough outline for the story. I'm not sure how good it will be, and I would love and appreciate help and any ideas you may have on improving this! I am hoping this will be interesting! Alright, the incredibly long author note is done. If all goes well, the first chapter should be up in a couple days. No promises, though.

Thanks for taking the time and reading the silly ramblings of an author!
