ATTENTION ALL READERS!
PLEASE READ BELOW!
I Am Sorry.
Years of being absent on this site are a none too common sight for many authors, and unfortunately, I to have done the same.
I know words cannot even begin to express my desire to try and explain my absence from this site, but I will try regardless; you all deserve that much at the very least.
So much has happened in my life in these past few years that it's still hard for me to come to terms with everything. I've jumped job to job and after nearly losing my hand in a steel mill I decided to drop everything and go back to school.
Since then I've been in college for about 3 semesters working on a A.A.S degree in Cybersecurity and Networking. Everything was going well until I lost my grandfather to cancer late last year. After that everything just spiraled out of control. My family is splitting apart, my brother is in jail, I've lost my current job, and now I'm stuck trying finding a way to balance out getting my brother out of jail, keeping up with my studies, and applying for any job under the sun so I don't end up buried in complete debt.
So, yeah, 2019 ended up being a rather shitty year for me in the latter half and 2020 is quickly becoming a close second to it. The only thing keeping me sane anymore is my studies and reading fanfiction.
To sum it up, Life is being a dirty little cunt, as usual.
Now to those that have stuck it this far into the note I've typed here I do have news regarding where I stand with fanfiction and what I want to do with my profile.
So, bad news first.
Unfortunately, as far as I can see, the stories I've put up so far may very well be deleted. Matters regarding the subject matter material and inspiration have gone straight down the toilet concerning them. Marshal does not interest me as much as it once did as my interest in the Canon RWBY pretty much died with the utter incompetence of Rooster Teeth and their mismanagement of the material they had. They have shamed Monty's work to such a degree that it is shameful and an utter disgrace to what he made.
King and Soulbound were flippant ideas made off the backdrop of my head when I was going through a lot of turbulence last year. Because of this, they will be scrapped entirely.
Kingdom Hearts: Sovereignty was made off the coattails of my excitement from playing Kingdom Hearts 3, and it was a mistake when making it. Too many inconsistencies were made and so many plot points and Deus ex Machina were thrown at it that I am sure if any other self-respecting author saw what I made for the future chapters they would have had me stoned to death on pure principle alone.
And thus, this brings me to my passion project, Legacy of the Saiyans: Jaune Arc. As I have already said, my interest in RWBY has pretty much died, but the amount of work I've put into this story's plot is 36 Pages of just story plots and chapters pre-planned ahead of time. Things that would literally tear up the whole RWBY script if I released it. So, for this story I will remain on the bench about only because of the time I have wasted making plot points on.
So, to summarize the status of my current fanfictions.
Status:
Marshal: Cancelled (Maybe?)
King: Cancelled
Soulbound: Cancelled
Kingdom Hearts: Sovereignty: Cancelled
Legacy of the Saiyans: Jaune Arc – Hiatus
The stories will be deleted later this week unless I change my mind about Marshal, but so far this is how it will end up.
So, with that out of the way I do have good news if anyone is still here, and if you are good.
Good news is that I haven't given up entirely. Recently, I've been getting back into the Fate Stay Night franchise. I also made the mistake of playing Fate/Grand Order as well although I have yet to let it's gacha addiction take hold of me. I need to catch up on all I've missed with Fate/Zero, Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, the base Visual Novels of Stay Night, and all the other material, but I'll take snippets of time when I can.
But this all leads me to a couple of ideas I've got in mind a new fanfiction that'll be my sole focus during the year when I have small bits of free time.
My knowledge on the Nasuverse is extremely and I do mean EXTREMELY limited and somewhat skewed from the fanfictions I have seen. However, I do have some solid ideas that I want to put in place.
And to make sure you are all aware that I am not talking out of my ass here; this is a little bit of what I have in mind for one Fanfiction.
Fate/Stay Night x Solo Leveling
(Working on) Title: Broken Shards, Tempered Steel
Basic Premise is based upon the conceptual understanding of the Multiverse theory within the Nasuverse and what can be understood through teach Universe. The understanding here is that there is always a predefined Gaia, the Earth and Alaya, the Human Collective Consciousness. Both always a War with one another throughout each Universe. Thus, leading to the inevitable conclusion of the extinction of Mankind and the destruction of the Earth as a whole.
This is always a 100% forgone conclusion for every Universe.
But for every Universe, there is always an anomaly that goes against the natural order. An aberration, a conceptually disfigured mortal incarnation and origin of the Sword. A vessel of the All the Worlds Evil. A man who lived, fought, and died a broken soul with ideals not his own.
A sword without a true will to be swung.
For every universe this individual existed one way or another.
And for all of them they lived and died in different ways, similar ways, or in the exact conditions besides slight differences.
And this caught the attention of a being about to plague yet another Universe, another Earth with its machinations. A Formless entity with no recollection of its origin, but knew it existed before all else came to be.
Regarding the shards it has seen, the life's they all lived, it took them all, even one tethered to one of the Earth's Alaya and severed the bond as if it were nonexistent and placed them into the Soul of the same soon to be conceptually broken and disfigured soul.
Just before it initiated the G.A.T.E. System upon this Universe and unleashed its Hell upon the Earth.
This is all I got so far, but ideas for this just keep pouring in and a lot I am willing to share and will be much more willing to take any criticisms for my lack of knowledge anywhere. It's a fic where I do plan to model Shirou on a similar journey to Sung Jin-Woo but formatted in a way it'll benefit Shirou himself.
That being said. I hope this can somehow stave off the disappointment I know that'll arise from such a statement, but this is my decision on the matter after thinking so long and hard about it.
Anyway, going to sleep now. Assignments start again tomorrow morning and got a lot to do, so if anyone decides to send me any messages, I will respond appropriately within the time I can get for myself.
Until then,
Tsurugi Out!
