Taptaptaptaptap.

The sounds of keys being pressed reverberated throughout the classroom in the searing heat of a late spring day.

Click-click. Click-click-click-click.

Computer mice were being used and abused during the dull hours of history class. No doubt the clicks were nowhere near related to taking history notes.

Scribble scribble. Scratch scribble scribbe.

A quick glance to the front and right betrayed the sight of an intensely concentrated Asuka. Which was odd, very odd. She was usually the one to dismiss history as 'beneath her'. There was no way she would take notes of the same lecture our senior teacher gives each Wednesday, and much less prefer pen and paper over the laptop. What was she doing? Sigh… I would never be able to understand my volatile childhood friend, even after sixteen years of growing up together. Her clear sky blue eyes focused so intensely on what she wrote, that it seemed like she would cut the paper and everything beneath it with a laser vision. I shuddered at the thought. I could certainly recall several memories where she indeed shredded my mind with a single glare…

Taptaptaptaptaptaptaptap… taptaptap…taptaptaptaptap-

A sudden flurry of typing reached my ears, notifying me of a subtle change of ambience. Heh, it must have been Kensuke doing his hacking or other business a computer addict typically does. But the sound wasn't coming from behind, where Kensuke sat. My precise hearing, which was honed by countless generations by means of evolution, or so the biology teacher explained, pinpointed the origin to be a fair distance to the left. I turned my head ever slightly to observe my latest.. crush. Thin cute lips, a lithe and slim figure, and an attractive mop of straight white hair adorned the object of my unrequited affections. Yes, I admit it. I was drooling at the sight of the most exquisite girl in class, Ayanami Rei.

An ugly beep suddenly bleeped out of my laptop speakers, breaking me from my innocent love-filled reverie. Who was it that interrupted me from gazing over Ayanami?! Somewhat irritated, I lightly banged the keys with my fist to break the screensaver, which was a collage of pictures Kensuke took of Misato-sensei. And perhaps by coincidence, it turned out to be a private message from the otaku himself. I opened the window of the messaging conversation and read his intruding words.

LordoftheNetKENSUKE: shin u old dog! Whadda u want with the new girl ayanoma ?! u alredy got Asuka, baka !1

Darn, he noticed me staring at Ayanami.

IkariShinji: What?! I told you a million times me and Asuka are just childhood friends!

LordoftheNetKENSUKE: haha that what you say, Thrid Children!

There he goes again, referring me as the main character of a popular anime.

IkariShinji: Can you please stop calling me that, Kensuke? You know very well no Evangelions or Angels exist in this world.

LordoftheNetKENSUKE: it's a conspiracy ! man yur dad and mom must have been kidnapped by alienz to cum up wiv that storyline!

LordoftheNetKENSUKE: I mean, look at how rich u r… u can buy all gundam models evr existed!

LordoftheNetKENSUKE: c'mon! why didn't ur mom made me an eva pilot too! Include me in the sequel plz!

LordoftheNetKENSUKE: omg make me all cool with lotzx of bigbig bresasted women clingin me! Harem anime popular these days !1

Sigh… there he goes again. I guess I have some explaining to do. My parents are in the.. anime business. For some inexplicable reason, they started a company called Gene-Axe Studios which dedicated itself in producing all kinds of anime. Business was hard at the start. My parents were struggling to squeeze out enough income to sustain ourselves. Some animes flopped or received low ratings, and others did just barely enough for television stations to keep contracting their work. It was a ruthless sector, with many competitors eager to drive our animes out of the programming on TV.

Even though we had trouble keeping up with the bills, I had a good time. My parents, especially my mother, cared about me, and made sure someone was at home at all times when I was young. Though they did correspond with the employees from the phone or computer.

After close to ten years of hard labour and persistence, my parents finally broke through. With debtors close to their heels, my parents only had enough budget for one last show, and it had to succeed. They drew inspiration from all kinds of religious and philosophical books. They asked all kinds of experts, including Asuka's parents, for technical advice. I even remember that they had the character designers visit our school, who rather intrusively interviewed my classmates. They were promptly removed for harassment.

"It was so embarrassing…", I muttered.

All that hard work was worth it, though. After some controversy surrounding nudity, it quickly caught on as a prime quality mecha anime. But what was even more surprising was that the popularity endured even after the show was over. Millions of merchandise keep getting sold each year, of which the licence fees from Band-Aid inc. surpassed all our other income. With all that yen, Gene-Axe Studios expanded into a major contestant in the anime market. But it came at a price.

In the early days, the vague semblance of personas in Evangelion, not helped by the matching names, caused a lot of teasing and ridicule for me and other 'characters'. Everybody started to think I was a wimp, which sadly… stuck a little bit. Asuka, who's hair was auburn brown instead of flaming orange, took it bad because her character was 'too pathetic', as she put it. And Ayanami, well… the differences couldn't even be more staggering. How they could ever change her hair colour from white to blue astonished her to this day, or so she violently remarked.

That my parents were the ones behind Evangelion was a closely guarded secret. Only the people whose characters were based on them were informed. I had a lot of trouble with both Asuka and Ayanami for that… the latter girl never really forgave me, even though it wasn't my fault. I was glad everyone at least kept it quiet. I couldn't imagine thousands more Kensuke-like otakus offering their fortune and life savings just so they could be on TV in a cartoon-like form. It was quite… pathetic.

LordoftheNetKENSUKE: pl' plz if u do this u get all pix in the world. I am gonna sneak in the girls bathroom and take pix of ayanami ! ;)

IkariShinji: WHAT?! Stop it! I'm not going to ask my parents anything about the show. Besides, they said it was over and done. It's no use convincing them otherwise.

LordoftheNetKENSUKE: WHAT ! u gay or sumthing? Oh well I am gonna nag u later. See ya ;)

IkariShinji: Bye.

And that closed it for today, I thought. Another attempt thrown away, like all the others since two years ago when the anime aired.

LordoftheNetKENSUKE: hey wait shin! U gotta check this out, I written something called a FNAFIC for evangelion !

LordoftheNetKENSUKE: I mean FANFIC.

A… fanfic?

IkariShinji: raises eyebrows

I actually did raise my eyebrows in front of my laptop screen.

LordoftheNetKENSUKE: yeah, omg, its like the best growing fan thing. Its like u write stories based on anime or games like warhammer or naruto

LordoftheNetKENSUKE: but omg I was so dorky and lame in the anime, and I wusnt very popular in fanfics either, so I wrtote a story about ME

LordoftheNetKENSUKE: it looks cool, plz read it and place a review. Click on the button the bottom to place one. I only hav 5 so far, I NEED review !

LordoftheNetKENSUKE: oh, and plz let yur parents read it. It is such a cool script for a sequel !

LordoftheNetKENSUKE: www,fanfiction,net/s/2777251/1/NeonKensukeEvangelionXL

IkariShinji: Fine. But you better shut up for the rest of the day.

Reluctantly, I clicked on the foreign link. The internet browser booted up and it was loading the link. After a few seconds, the loading finished and I was presented by a very white webpage, containing a lot of words. A thin blue bar at the top proclaimed 'Fanfiction,Net – unleash your imagination'. Below that was a menu bar and some ad. So it was a gathering of more of these so-called 'fanfics', eh? Below the advertisement something which must be the category and the title was displayed.

Neon Kensuke Evangelion XL!

Oh kami-sama, if the title is this bad, I couldn't wait to see what Kensu had written for a 'fanfic'.

Neon Kensuke Evangalion XL !1

Kensuke got this morning up and shit on the toilet before brushing and got to school. He bumped into asuka and she said "I hate you" and huffed and puffed away while hitting Shinji with an old newspaper. Kensuke met up with Touji who proceeded to show Kensuke the latest edition of Big Sister Complex Part IX. They both drool but then Hikari came along and snatched it away, with touji crying and crying and begging to get it back but he got bit and now he got to water the plants.

"Toji, how could u lose the merchandise!"

"Hey man Kensu it wusn't my ffault you looked like u had to pee on it, I had to protect it!"

"But man, now HIKARI of all people got it. She is so nazi she is probably going to give it to… MISATO!"

All of a sudden their objects of lusts, the goddess of goddesses, the woman of women, KATSURAGI MISATO arrived! Oh sorry, mistake. Misato is Major in NERV, so she couldn't be teacher. I mean now old wrinkled history teacher come and Hikari shouts "sit bow stand" and the entire class including Kensuke followed it and then we sat down.

The teacher announced "now then can Aidakun plz stand up and head to the principals office."

Kensuke stood up and said "WHAT! I didn't do anything! I am a model citizen!"

The teacher said "you are going to like this" and then the teacher smiled and gave a big thumbs up. After that, the entire class gave Kensuke encouraging thumbs up, each smiling, except Asuka and Rei of course. They are bitches still.

So kensuk walked over to the principel office and he got sit down and the principal spoke "kensuke meet major Katsuragi" and then MISATO popped out from behind with bouncing breast and she said "Hi Kensuke, since you know the three pilots we have are bad, we needed a fourth so we built another Eva and we decided you are so brave and courageous, and not to mention handsome, u got to be a pilot!"

"YIPPE!" kensuke yelled, and he jumped up and danced on the principels desk, making all kinds of paper fly. Misato joined in the victory dacne and she popped up some yebisu beer and she guzzled it all while her big H cup breasts keep bouncing up and down and up.

So then Kenukse got in an Evangelion plug EVA-UNIT XXX666, aka EVA GUNDAM DEATHMOTHERSCYTHE MAX TRIPPLE X, and he launched the cool red and black eva, twice as long as normal evas, and armed with progressive scythe and built with 16 eyes and four arms and has not two but THREE prototype N2 engines.

Misato said over comm "please destroy the angels for us, and I will marry you."

Then Asuka poppued over comm and said "SHEISSE how could they do this to me! Fine,… Kensuke-sama, if u destroy all the angels I will be your eternal love-slave.." and then Asuka did big puppy eyes while posing her body before the comm went out.

Oh and not forget Rei. Her imagine popped into view with all emotionless and in sexy skintight plugsuit "Kensuke. I confess to you. I always luuuv you. Please. Come. Back safely and. I will show u. love." And then Rei did big puppy eyees like Asuka and she even gave Kensuke a big encouraging smile and also a thumbs up.

"OKAY lets destroy the rest of the angels and save the world so I can have three girls" Kensuke proclaimed loudly.

So then the super EVA XXXX666 and it flew all the way to the south pole, but then he found nothing so he flew to the north pole where explosion of first angel occurred. After several months of digging snow and ice he finally found a superhyper extrateresstial complex dome under the water with jungle and dinosaurs and flying dinosaurs and between them giant angels looking like puppets and eels and lobsters emerged.

"You can do it!" Misato, Rei, and Asuka each yelled through the comm., and all three gave a thumbs up. Kensuke entered solid-state berseker mode and he madly enraged now. With flurry he threw scythe on 16 angel and it exploded, starting a chain reactons killing all 7 remaining angels including the gay angel tabris. He yelled vengeance.

All the angels were now destroyed and EVA"s weren't needed anymore. Kensuke came back and the presidents of Japan, England, America, Germany, Spain, and danmark all stood besides red carpat and shook hands with the ultimate savior of the human race Kensuke. Girls were throwing bras and panties at him so much he had to climb mountain just go get to his locker room and shower.

While showering his manly body full of muscle and abs a voice suddenly popped out from the curtain "Oh heroic Kensuke, are you going to punish me ..?" it was the voice of Asuka, and she sounded very submissive. Oh Kensuke will sure take advantage of sexy Asuka! He gave a thumbs up to himself to congratulate himself, accompanied by a big smile.

To be contineud.

Coming next: how can our hero and savoir of mankind AIDA KENSUKE and planat earth cope with three pairs of breasts in his household all vying for his attention and love! Harem mayham! Which cupsize will he chose?

Oh. My. Kami-sama. This was the worst piece of fiction I have ever read. It was pathetic. How could he be so ego-selfish and made him a hero from a botched up story. I couldn't stand it. As much as Kensuke was my friend, I couldn't convince any of me to like this fanfic. Ugh… girls don't just fling onto boys. There is no Eva gundam blabla deluxe. And what was with the overemphasis on the.. chest? If this was fanfiction, then I don't want to read one ever again.

I started to move my cursor to the X button at the top right to close this abomination, until I suddenly remembered that Kensuke begged me to place a 'review'. I didn't really know what I was suppose to type, but I just went ahead and clicked on the GO button next to the Review option on the bottom left. A small window popped up, which contained a message I didn't expect.

"This author does not accept anonymous reviews. Please login and come back to submit a signed review.", I read.

According to the message, I had to have an account on the website before I could submit a review. Kensuke… I sighed and muttered. There was no way around it. I clicked on the register button at the top and quickly made an account of myself. I didn't even paid attention to the penname I submitted. After a quick signup process I think I was ready to go back to Kensuke's fanfic page and submit a review. This time the window allowed a review to be placed, under the penname I randomly entered, TheRealIkari.

I quickly started to type my review, murmuring along the way, "Sixth Children… here is the review I promised you. Sorry, but it's too bad and I doubt anyone would like it. You need to learn how to write better and think up a story that doesn't disgust readers."

And after a simple click it was submitted, I think. Back on the main page, the review counter for Kensuke's fanfic numbered six now. Curious, I clicked on the number, knowing it was a link that would direct me to another page. I ended up on a webpage which displayed all the reviews so far, with mine on top. Out of curiosity and boredom, I read the other five reviews Kensuke received.

Ikari Shinji02: This is absolutely hopeless. I will tell you straight on so you won't be deluded anymore: your fanfic sucks. Work on your grammar and spelling. At least make an effort on it. Also - and more importantly - work out a good story. The current story is quite worthless. It is something akin to a story a six year old would come up with. If you placed yourself in the perspective of a reader, wouldn't you feel disgusted by this fic? I have yet to read a good Kensuke based fic, and this latest one confirms my suspicions that Kensuke is in fact, pathetic beyond saving.

Arrowz-IRL: This has potential. Just slow down and make it more readable and I'll definitely enjoy this new kensuke fic!

shinji the bad sharer: OMG I like it, please keep it going!

Eric Blister: I must admit, you gave me quite a laugh. So much my blares and blisters flared up and I had to get to the hospital and pay a few thousand for allergy treatment. It turns out I have allergies to horrible fanfics. Good job though with the fic, I'll just not read it anymore.

Fire-star: this was soooo perverted! hmph!

Rotten C: This story is certainly likable If you add some more drama and more dialogue. Your Kensuke is manly but also quite modest in that he can restrain his urges to the intricate pleasures women can provide. Certainly it is obvious all is not at an end, for the last Angel is mankind. Kensuke has one more battle to fight, and that would definitely be against the three women. It will be interesting to see the outcome.

As I could clearly read, there were others who agreed with me and thought Kensuke's fic was bad. But surprisingly, there were also a few positive reviews. Were they even thinking right? But.. I didn't think too harsh on it. Kensuke most likely needed every encouragement he would get, or he'll likely be crushed.

Curious of who were behind the reviewers, I randomly clicked a name, Rotten C I think, and read over his extensive profile. It seemed that there were actually people on this website who took fanfics seriously, and who could actually write. Expecting nothing more at the bottom, I was pleasantly surprised by a list of works he had written. I knew I had little time left before the bell rang and a serious teacher would arrive, so I bookmarked the webpage and closed down my laptop. I was interested… in reading more of these so-called 'fanfics'.

R-R-R-R-RING!

"That is it for today. Be sure to do your homework assignments, even though it is not as interesting as the melting of the ice caps.", the teacher droned on against all the noise of chattering students.

"SHINJI!", Kensuke hollered over the classroom. As my classmates started to stand up and drift to their friends, so did Kensuke and Touji move over to my desk. I noticed that my blonde-haired best friend was very excited, as usual. Did he even read the review I placed?

"Shinji! Thanks for the review you placed me! You really saved me man, I got 20 percent more reviews now! How awesome is that! TWENTY WHOLE PERCENTS!"

Worried that we would draw unwanted attention, I grabbed the otaku by the shoulder and quickly told him, "Calm down before everyone sees you!"

Touji added, "Yeah, dun look like an idiot again. We're gettin' kind o' old for that."

"More reviews.."

"Did you even read what I wrote?"

"Reviews! I need more reviews! I must suck reviews!"

I sighed and turned to Touji. "Is he always like that?"

"Yeah, that idiot Kensuke wus really excited these past few weeks with da fanfic and all. I swear he's turning into a vampire with all that obsession about reviews. I never bothered to give him a review, since I'm not into dat stuff."

Uh oh. Kensuke slowly turned his gaze over to Touji with his increasingly menacing eyes. I swore foam emitted from his raging mouth. "FOR REVIEWS!", he bellowed before jumping on Touji and biting his neck, making them both crash to the floor. Oh Kami-sama, they were fighting! The mess of limbs kept rolling around, and Kensuke's mouth kept grabbing whatever flesh was available.

I slapped my forehead at the ridiculous spectacle and sighed.

Over the course of the next few weeks I immersed myself in the world of Evangelion fanfiction. At the advice of Kensuke I started reading most of the classics in the website archive, such as The one I hate is… and Ageless Wars. Unlike Kensuke's work, these ones were actually quite well written! I was never really into literature, but I was sure most of these works rivalled professional work, perhaps even surpassing it. Ageless Wars especially seemed a very massive and meticulous fantasy. How do these writers do it? With typical novels containing a hundred and fifty thousand words, several outstanding fanfics contained even more. Do they get paid?

Or.. perhaps I never knew before how dedicated people were of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Thousands of fanfics this website alone contained. Works contributed by at least an army of dedicated fans. It was weird, and certainly to me. To read semi-professional and amateurish stories about the character Ikari Shinji ending up in all kinds of situations, about ME, actually. It felt weird to read some chronicle centering about me in the view of an observer. From having trouble fending off girls, to ending up in deep depressions, and even turned into a superhero or macho. The ones that scared me the most were the first person fanfics, though. That someone else would attempt to place themselves in my eyes, in my mind, and act it out accordingly. It was.. terrifying.

And so the weeks carried on to months as I shifted from reading the best, the biggest, and the classics to the more mundane fanfiction. What I read showered a mix of disgust, admiration, and.. I admit, arrogance, in to me. A significant part of the fanfics were basically.. junk. Recycled storylines and clichés, awful spelling and grammar that was apparently not even read over, and more faults were plenty abound. But in this sea of unoriginality, a few gems stood out. Though less exposed than the grand classics, these fanfics deserved a spotlight of their own. I certainly enjoyed the ones which fused with other anime, such as Gundam. I let myself be enchanted by the flowering scripts, the colourful worlds, and the imaginative storylines.

Sadly, as I read the last of the huge number of fanfics that I was interested in, there was not enough. Simply.. not enough. Many were already complete, or abandoned. The regular updates were good, but still… too few, and not what I craved for.

I wanted to feel. I wanted to experience. It was not enough to watch Shinji get caught up in trouble. It was not enough, not enough to simply to watch from a distance. It was strange for me, the person who the main character was based upon, to want to read more about my turmoil and emotions. I was.. addicted. Addicted to fanfiction. Addicted to fanfiction which were written in Shinji's perspective, mainly. I saw in here more amusement and more sophistication from most other fanfics. However, these were exactly the kind of fiction that was rare.

The seeds were planted.
