So here it is. The beginning of my never ending story (never ending as I never am satisfied with any version of it and therefore it has been rewritten a countless number of times over the past 6 years). I truly believe that this is the beginning of it in its final version because I've at last come to terms with the story itself, the settings and, most importantly, Niko's writing style. (You're free to call me a hypocrite if six months from now I start it all over again o.o Which isn't all that unreasonable, knowing me...)

Anyway, this is the 'autobiography' or 'memoirs' of sorts of my beloved character, Rittaniko Aeon Zurvan and his life long aspiration to truth, justice and, when he's not swept up in world-altering situations, his own personal pleasure. I put it under the genre 'fantasy', which I suppose it is as it takes place in an alternate reality entirely with Magick and funny creatures and weird words that you don't understand. But it's also a satire, poking fun at the many cliches of fantasy writing as well as other more current socio-political undertones. It revolves around an essentially very average character who just gets exposed to an array of quirky, bizarre characters and ordeals, which makes it potentially comic. And there's a little bit of romance thrown in there too because, I am, after all, female, so that's expected of me.

I don't expect anyone to read it o.o This chapter alone is 16 pages long and written in my bizarre, sometimes difficult to understand style and, from past experience with posting writing here, no one around has enough patience or enough caring to actually read through the whole thing. In fact, I doubt anyone's even gotten this far into the description.

But if you have and you do go on to actually read the story, I want you to know that I appreciate you and that any and all comments or critiques or furious rants are, at all times welcome.

Thanks for the time of day if you give me it and have a good one.
