I think it's about time I establish what I really want for my fan fiction, my world.
This will serve as both a foreword and a prologue for an upcoming fan fiction of mine (including a list of character profiles below). I chose to start a new thread because of two reasons:
1. I could not change the title of my other fan fiction, "Diary of a Moe-Tsundere". I could always ask a mod to change it for me, but, that is not the main reason I created this thread...
2. This is nothing like K-On, excluding the names, the characters of the anime, and the epilogue (which would link back to the K-On universe, but that won't happen for a very long time). Hence, I felt it is better to separate this from "Diary", which is meant for K-On fans. This is an independent story of my own.
How 'Fan-Made' was born
When I first started writing "Diary", I had barely got to Season Two of K-On. All I knew was that I love Mio's character, the 'mature' side of her personality. When I did get to Season Two, however, I was kinda disappointed. She was a lot more annoying than the Mio I knew in Season One, mostly because of the moe factor.
Now, I'm one to get buttsore easily. I don't take criticisms very well. Hence, when I read multiple writings of people criticizing Mio's character, her personality... Yep, you guess it. I have to change that.
With pain comes growth. I knew that I have to provide Mio lots of agony to make her grow (but no, don't hate me just yet, I do have a rule of my own: Mio will remain a virgin by her will, meaning no rape, only consensual sex). But when it got to a point of the story when the abuse got really rough (imagine having her getting over her shyness - then having me depriving her pride once again), I started thinking: I know all these is just for the sake of character growth, but damn, if she's a real person, this is really some sick stuff I'm doing (even if it doesn't involve rape or sex).
And that's how my idea was born. What if Mio was to come confront me like a real person would? How would I, as a fan fiction writer, react? How would I, as a writer, deal with this? Would I cease from continuing writing, cease from growing the characters I love just because they suddenly turned into real people from fictitious ones? It was an idea I just have to fully explore.
Then there was another aspect of this story I have to explore - being a god. Now, I've seen many stories going about this, and none of them act like the God I know from the Bible stories. They are not omnipotent. They are not omniscient. They are not omnipresent. Why? Because it wouldn't make the story interesting... right? Well, again, I'd love to change that. Flaring Rebel. Always rebelling. That's me. If I have the mighty three powers of God, what would I do with it? From Genesis to Revelations - the story is my own to tell.
A third aspect - the truth is subjective. Everything you know might not be true. That is true for Mio in my story, and that truth itself might not even be true. Someone else, in my reality, might be puppeting my actions. He, the Almighty One, might be the one stringing me in writing this story. But does that matter? Would knowing that her life is a lie make Yui any less happier in my story, any less naive? To enjoy life itself, just for the sake of it, isn't that enough? To just have tea and cake after school... the simple pleasures of life. Ignorance is bliss. Once Adam and Eve ate that apple, the bliss was of no more.
Some of the elements you find in this story might be borrowed from canon stuff, something only a fan fiction writer is capable of pulling off (emphasis on 'might be', because TBH, crossover is a really tough genre to do, and I'd rather, to the fullest extent, not have stuff from other anime crossing over). Like Geass, or Homunculus. But they are mostly there just for my amusement, and would be reduced to the minimum as much as possible.
Other than that, I really have not much to say, other than that I'm really excited for this project - and that I might be sent to Hell for it. Ah well. The worst things possible are done out of the best intentions, says Alan Grant.
With that, Fan-Made awaits. Till then, enjoy these character profiles. They are made mostly for me to get a better grasp of the personalities of the characters (just like how this foreword lets me get a better grasp of the idea of this story), but they also serve to let you know a little better about the paths I am pushing my characters towards. Whether you like those paths or not is irrelevant. :p
Wait, you know what? After reviewing the character profiles, I found that they reveal more than just 'a little' of what the story is about. In fact, this whole chunk of text I just wrote above is a spoiler to my story. This won't do. *goes to edit the first line of this post*
