Hi everyone! This is Mei.
First off, thanks to everyone who's been following this one-shot collection, through its' eclectic-ness and my random and sometimes sporadic updating. I super-appreciate everyone for your support ^^
If you've been reading my author's notes (do people read those?), you'll know that a lot of this whole one-shot thing was sort of to practice different things in writing. Writing is a fun creative outlet for me, and so the past ten-ish months of getitng to experiment with different writing styles, without being tied to a plot, writing characters I love (Seto and Mokuba) and an, essentially, OC (Kisara) was an awesome exercise in learning how to do things. I've written a couple of one-shots elsewhere, experimenting with writing styles, and a short mystery/suspense story with a different Seto and Kisara in it (if you'd like to read it!)
I was blessed to meet another writer, Moonluster, through writing Blueship-y stuff. She started beta-ing me, and we bounce ideas off of one another a lot in terms of our characterizations of Seto and Kisara, the YGO world in general, and everything else. Her story, The Blue String of Fate (and it's extended universe) inspired me to try to write something a little more linear for this story's versions of Seto and Kisara...a lot of which conflicts with some of the stuff here.
So, if you want to see the story of how Seto and Kisara get together in this story, it'll be called Sparks of Blue, and it'll be an on-going work. For now, especially since a lot of the new stuff I'm writing is going to conflict with the timeline (and other stuff) for this story, I'm going to mark it as a finished work. Thanks for everyone's reviews, comments, thoughts, messages, and support! Here's to hoping I did an okay enough job for you to want to see the origin story behind the relationship between Seto and Kisara.
Much love,
Mei
