If you're reading this, that most likely means you've finished reading part one of Standing on the Sky, a Rayearth fanfic.
I'm Aiko-chan, the stupid little girl who wrote the story ^^ I hope you enjoyed it so far. Maybe you did, maybe you didn't. Either way, I'd love it if you could let me know, either by reviewing the story or by e-mailing me.
I'd like to say that I'm not 100% pleased with part one of this three-part story. I like it all the way through, but I'm not truly pleased with my work until chapter four or so. There's still a few things I'd like to rework a little, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to do it -.- So, the story remains as it is.
I first thought of Standing on the Sky on the way home from Mississippi, where my family was visiting my aunt and uncle. It's a long drive (we live in Ohio ourselves), so I had plenty of time to think.
SOTS was originally supposed to be a Tenchi Muyo! fanfic, but when I tried to begin writing it, I found that I was having a hard time. I wasn't able to get into the characters well enough to write a good story.
So, finally, I decided to switch the story over to a different anime. Magic Knight Rayearth, another of my favorites, was the only one that would work really well. But still, although MKR was the best match, I still had to change a lot of things in the story. I'm not as pleased with the story now as I would've been if I'd kept it TM!, but I still like the idea a lot.
Now, if you enjoyed the story, you'll probably be wanting to read part two. Well, I'm starting school soon, so I don't know how often I'll be able to write. Plus, as some of you may already know, I'm currently also writing another Rayearth fic, titled Kunpuu. However, I'm having some trouble with Kunpuu right now, and I find myself writing in SOTS more often.
I don't know when the second part of the story will be done. I know it'll at least be done by New Year's, so any time between now and then, it'll get finished.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the story so far. I've only written a little bit in part two, but I already favor it over part one, so expect even better material when I get that out to you.
Ja ne, and thanks for reading!
