And, hey, from what is sounds like and what I've skimmed over, you just made a "tester piece." I did the same thing before I posted my first fic. You make a piece to try out everything and work on your writing style in the meantime? I wouldn't have the bravery to show you mine. If if can be believed, it's worse than yours. (Though mine has no OCs.)
But, fortunately I'm safe because you don't know the fandom. (Never thought I'd see the day when I said that and was grateful...)
Don't know about that. When I wrote that, I was damned serious. Admittedly, it was all fun and games and chiches because that was the 'in' thing at the time, but as I went along, I started getting serious with it. Around chapter 26 or something like that, the serious writing bit begins.
Juvenile Orion? Beware. I have the manga saved on my computer for later reading.
Well so was I at first, then (because I didn't have chapters) somewhere after "they" got together I was like, "well...now what?" From there it's less "melodramatic introspective angst" and more "gee...I wonder how I can beat on them now that they're a couple..." I did mine so I could learn to write "romance" stuff. *smile* And somehow I've come out as violence-n-twistedness-loving as you. *grins*
YOU DO?! I wasn't aware they'd put up scans or anything! Well...If you want to read it, it's not the greatest thing, but it IS short since the series is five books long. And the room for expansion makes it good for fanficcing... (Not to mention I'd love to corrupt another author into the circle...) Do they have the whole thing?
See, even as I planned to get my couple together, I was thinking of how to break them up, pair them anew, put them through hell and then some and have one of them killed in the end. Even as I wrote it, I had planned to have things spiral down to hell after they married or whatever. My very first OC fic (which has not survived until these days) had the OC put through hell, ditched by Malik and nearly burnt to death in the last three chapters. In the end, Bakura used Pegasus' Eye to mess with her memories and make her forget everything.
The source I got if from is reliable, so I'd wager that yes, it is the whole thing. JO is not the only manga on standby I have in that folder. There's also Mahou Tsukai Kurohime, Ja-Dou Tenmou Yatan, Kamui, Fate Hollow Ataraxia/Zero and quite possibly some others. As it is right now, I might get around to reading it in a few years.
