Hell yes I do! There IS one lesser known anime that I parodied that was just released in this past spring season. "Setokai no Ichizon", the line where Uru isn't giving anyone any room to develop a character, she just wants a shounen-type cliche character. I probably will wait, seeing as I was actually working on a short story a few weeks back, called "Broken", and I know I can't get THAT published alone, it's only 10 pages. Expect many more bad references from animes all over the place, including Soul Eater, Bleach, and MAYBE Naruto, but I doubt that one. Though I WILL be parodying Setokai no Ichizon, which is a parody anime in and of itself.

Odin! you're back! so how have you been? sadly the story with Ra kinda failed didn't it? anyway planning on making a new story! so what are you up to nowadays?

---

I decided that maybe I should do small teasers that show some of the dialogue for each new chapter while I'm working, so here's the one for Ch. 5.

Chapter five teaser: Why you don't let others make their own characters.

Spoiler (Click to View)

I take the sheet and read it to myself. ‘Special Ability’, ‘You shall not pass’, ‘You’re stronger than I thought, but this is over’, ‘Hmph, I told you that you stood no chance’, ‘Prepare yourself, it’s been a while since I’ve used this attack’ and ‘Rising Air!’. Dazed and confused, I had the paper to Yuri, hiding my face in my palm. While Yuri, looking more and more confused as she goes through the paper, reads, I try to figure out what that last thing means.

“Uru, what the hell is a ‘Rising Air’?” Uru looks up, looking at me like I’m the idiot here. As if.

“My character’s ultimate attack, obviously.” …This was supposed to be obvious? Calm down, Iin. She’s not human, give the girl a break. Breathe… Breathe… Okay, I can’t do it; I’ve got to lodge my complaint.

“You’re not giving us a choice on what to do with the character here!” As the words leave my mouth, I get an idea. A damn good one too, if you ask me. “Okay, you’ll have all of those lines for sure. No problem.” Yuri looks confused, and I just look smug.

“What are you planning?” I smirk and explain my plan.

“I asked Yoku to record the conversations on paper in case we needed some inspiration. We’ll simply use that EXACT conversation at one point or another. Also, it gives us a minor plot to use for a chapter, seeing as we won’t really need a full-blown one. Plus, this gives us one element we need for a successful school-slash-parody manga: Tsundere!” Yuri looks at me like I’m stupid, and then brightens almost immediately. Whew, thought I had gone overboard for a second.

“Now you’re thinking the right way! Let’s get a-crackin’!” Seeing a chance for another parody, I jump on it!

A sly grin crossing my face, I kick back. “Sure, let’s go!” Yoku gets it and continues the joke.

“Fuunga!” The perceived lack of motivation seems to piss Uru off, and she inadvertently finished the parody.

“Quit screwin’ around and start!” This is met with laughs and high-fives abound, leaving Uru confused, and we all get back to work, for once having fun with even the menial tasks.

This is too much fun to write.

Okay, done with Chapter 5. It's pretty short, but I personally like this chapter a lot.

Polishing up Ch. 6 now. Here's a sample of the text,

Spoiler (Click to View)

I’m suspended in a totally white room, faced with mirrors all over the place. “What the hell?” Oh, I’m dreaming, I guess. I ‘swim’ through the air over to a wall where I see someone I know very well. Myself. Well, 6-year old me. “How’s it going, me?”

“Haha, you like your new life, don’t you?”

“Maybe. So… What’s up with the mirrors?”

“They protect me. Well, I think they do. Anyway, that’s besides the point. You’re…different since I first saw you. What’s changed from your usual self?”

“And you look like Ian a bit more now. On to your question… Well, I guess that I’m used to it now, though it’s only been a day. Plus, I decided to cut my losses and join in on the fun. And then there’s… Never mind.” I look away, feeling something rise in my head. An unusual feeling, though one not unwelcome. Though it IS counterproductive and I throw it away, changing it into something I’m more used to. I rationalize it, I guess.

“I can read your thoughts, you know. You’re still not over the issue with Yuri, are you?” The small me looks concerned. Pitying, even. He looks at me, which makes me kinda uncomfortable. I stammer, trying to find the words to explain myself. In the end, I can’t.

“I think that you wish that the Patrons hadn’t interfered. I think that you need to…” The image fades as the mirrors on every side shatter. I reach out a hand that I know won’t reach myself, hoping for an answer.

“I what!? I need to what!? You’ve got to finish!”

“Just know this. An extraordinary life could lead you to something that an ordinary one will not.” I reach out to myself, still waiting for him to finish his first sentence. I manage to grab his hand and try to pull him up, something telling me to do something in the background. The younger me utters one sentence. “Wake up, Iin. Wake up…”

Then he’s gone, and I’m sitting awake on my futon, Rui standing over me with my bags. “It is five in the morning. You look distraught. What’s wrong?” I rub my head, looking around.

nice, i like dram scenes especially

I got the idea from a broken mirror I saw yesterday. Chapter 6 is coming out very well, if you ask me, but I'm biased of course.

I'm liking the way chapter six is turning out. Will there be a Patron who can disrupt dreams? 'Cuz that's what it seems like. But, I want to read more.

I am a genius with powers from out of this world.

Actually, that little kid is going to be a major part of character development. Kind of a check-in y'know? I'm about done, so I'll post Ch. 6 soon.

---

Wednesdays at college, or Iin's hellish Wednesdays at least. Chapter 6 is UP!
I wonder... Has anyone noticed that in Chapter 4.5 Iin says "What is this, a manga?", and ends up making one by the end of the chapter?

Yes, I noticed it, but I didn't think anything of it. I thought it was just some expression he used. I mean, it sounds like something I might say...

Also, I liked chapter six. Although, I'm pretty sure there's a typo. "You look a bit more like Ian now." I suppose it should be Iin? Also, when they're taking notes, you say Rui twice, while I think you meant Yuri.

Nope, Rui takes the same classes and copies everything, while Yuri is terrible with notes, except for that last class. Ian will be revealed in Chapter 7. He's a character related to Iin.
Sorry for any confusion. Anyway, I've hit 400 views!

Chapter 7 teaser: Weapon and Meister, and someone come to visit.

“We’re back. How’s it goin’?” Yoku looks up from his work and smiles. Funny, but no ill will comes from his smile, much unlike his sister.

“Not much happened in my lecture. Yours?” Erm… About that…

Yuri rats me out immediately. “He went to sleep. Oh, and he lent me his notes from Lit Analysis. By the way, are you done with your essay already?” I nod, feeling superior.

“Well, yeah.” Well, Nanaka seems impressed, though Yuri’s not.

“Really? Geez, how long did it take?” I hand her the printed version of my paper, going through my bag for my Composer’s Society notebook, where I keep notes from meetings.

“Most of Astronomy. I copied Rui’s notes later. Anyway, let’s get back to work, shall we? Cool guys shouldn’t have to-Oof!” Yuri picks up her textbook, and I rub my head. “Ow… Overboard?”

Yuri smirks, shouldering her book. “Not really, I wanted to see if you could sense it. I guess you’d make a terrible weapon.” Was that necessary?

“Are you insane?” I glare at Yuri, though everyone else is laughing. It’s not funny! Not funny, I tell you!

“Most likely. Oh! And I stayed up all night getting these done!” Yuri tosses a folder onto the nearest table, and I go through them. Drawings. What the hell?

“These are actually pretty good! But never do that again. One, it’s bad for your health. Two, it’ll affect your studies. Don’t push yourself too hard here, we need to do some work too. Anyway, this is Uru’s character, right? Ah, we’re going with the tsundere idea. She looks the part; she dresses the part, and her eyes… Reminds me of Kagami Hiiragi. This is…Okay, I know who THIS is… That clueless face, it can only be your brother. And I see that you…Why the hell did you draw Haruhi Suzumiya?”

“Huh? That’s me, not Suzumiya. Note that the brigade leader armband is on the wrong side. And the hair is too long to be Haruhi.” But everything else looks the same. Is this going to be alright? I think we might get sued, to be honest. I flip to the next page to see a character that does not look amused at all, in stark contrast to everyone else who looks to be having a good time. He seems…boring almost.

“Who’s this person? He looks bored.” Yuri looks at the paper, then flips to the next page, pointing out the same face.

“That’s you. Note the thin smirk on the profile drawings.” Is her opinion of me really that low? Geez, that’s just mean.

“Yeah, if that’s you impression of me, well, I have nothing to say to THAT. Anyway, the whole club is obviously this character’s ha- Ack!” That DAMN textbook again.

“Yeah, you’d make such a terrible weapon. Gee, you’d kinda be pathetic in a shounen manga, wouldn’t you? I’d say…you’d be a broken lance or something.” I get up, rubbing my head and glaring at Yuri.

“And you’d make a horrid Meister. Can you say, expelled?” Yuri sticks her tongue out, and I sigh. In the middle of the conversation, someone knocks on the door. “Who is it?”

Just a sample. I'm nearly done with CH. 7, though I'm pushing 30 pages.

you're on a roll temporal, i thought 200 pages in a year was good but i think you're goint to far exceed that in total!

Inspiration! I think I should have a bit of fun with the "manga" idea. Do a bit more with the actual development.

yeah, why doesn't the manga sort of relate to his life, but nobody realises it?

---

It pretty much already does, except the characters are different ages. Club that doesn't get anything done unless pushed, bossy club leader, clueless VP, cynical and irate protagonist, everything lines up. Actually, with the family of Iin being introduced, maybe it's time for a bit of irony to step in. Well, in regards to the supposed plot to the manga being written, of which there is none.

I'm done with Chapter 7, so I'll post it in the next ten minutes or so.

---

To make up for Chapter 5 being so short, Chapter 7 is pretty long. Anyway, this right here is 32 pages on Microsoft Word. That's a LOT of writing, especially given that it really doesn't have much of a linear plot right now.

Okay, I updated the story a bit, and got rid of a few errors. If you find any, post where they are in case I missed them. I try to catch all of them, but I'm only human, I'm bound to make mistakes.

Chapter 8 Teaser!

Spoiler (Click to View)

I arrive at my place, unlocking the door. After a bit of looking around, I go in, ushering Rui in behind me and shutting the door. It’s not THAT late, I’m just tired. It’s about nine, but it’s so hot out, I don’t want to do anything, so I simply run some water and soak.

“This is nice. Huh…” It was time to think for a bit. Something was different on the way home today, normally I’m at least invited into Yuri’s dorm. “It’s probably the heat. No need t think too hard.” Huh… Frankly, I don’t buy that. I’m cynical by nature, and when I see something wrong, normally, something is wrong. Eh, I might be reading too much into it, but I’m genuinely worried. I guess if Yuri had been possessed again, Rui would have noticed, so that can’t be it. Ah, that’s something for tomorrow. I let myself sink into the tub until only the upper part of my head is above water. Being as idle as I was, I nearly drowned when someone called out from behind the door.

“Hey! I’m spending the night here, is that okay?” Oh, it’s Lynd. Wait… That doesn’t change the situation!

“Er, why? Don’t you have your own place to stay? And how the hell did you get in here without me knowing? Or the key for that matter!”

“Mirror. Isn’t that obvious? And I have something I want to talk to you about.” Hell no, it’s not obvious! In what…oh yeah, different worlds and all that. Agh, this is getting weird.

“Yeah, yeah. Wait a second.” I wrap a towel around myself and run towards my closet, closing the door behind me. After changing in peace, I wander back out into the open, scratching my head. “So…what did you want?” Suddenly, Lynd looks serious.

“Something has…happened. You see, a certain demon has…escaped our custody, and well, it wants you dead.” I blink, unable to process the information cleanly.

“Why me? What did I do, and more importantly, what am I going to do about it?”

“Well, being your Contemporary Media professor, I’ll be able to keep an eye on things. And I have no idea. I haven’t been authorized to initiate contact with the demon, and it could easily kill Uru, who is a novice at defending herself.” Great, a demon that can kill a goddess wants me dead. What next?

“Wait, if you’re not allowed to fight the thing, and it could kill Uru, what if it somehow DOES find me?” Lynd looks away, and I become suspicious. “You’re going to let me die, aren’t you?”

I'm done with Chapter 8. I'll post it within ten minutes.

Note for Chapter 8: I mention temperature, and I say 34 degrees. By this, I mean in Celsius. In most countries outside of America, Celsius is the main measurement of temperature, so I used that.

Chapter 9 has been released! 42 pages...That's a lot to not even be out of the first week of the story.

Edited and reworded Chapters 8 and 9. Working on 10.

Sorry for the lack of updates. New parts will be added soon.

Next part is done! It's kinda short, but it is pretty funny to me. And someone FINALLY realizes what's going on. Yup, Yoku is no longer the only one in the dark.

Eh, I'd like some feedback on the more recent chapters, so I know if anything needs to be changed. Anyway, Chapter 11 is about done.
