Welcome to Gaia! ::

So I can get bored on Sundays sometimes. So I decided why not do something productive with my time. So I decided to write a novel. I don’t think I’m really good enough to publish one so I figured I would just release it here at the guild and see what you guys think. So if you get bored please enjoy this bit of literature. I will release more chapters as they are finished. And feel free to give me your opinion and express your thoughts on the subject. The title says it all.

The Anime Story
The regular life of your standard school girl + sword

There she stood, covered in sweat and blood. She looked down at the two swords in her hands. The green blood from the monster under her feet dripped to a puddle on the ground. Behind her a large bipedal robot walked through the ruins. To her side was a girl on her knees. She was looking up with shine in her eyes. Suddenly the last member of the party crashed down in front of them and rising to her feet quickly pointed out in front of them. Standing there was a figure clad in all black from head to toe. The full body suit covered them completely and the black cloak only added to the mysterious appearance. The black figure lifted its head showing a cloth mask with black goggles. A broken eyepiece in the goggles showed a single gold and black slit eye.

Ryo woke up and stretched in her bed. Her long blond hair fell to her back and lay loose there. She reached over to her night stand and pressed the button to turn her alarm clock off. The cute little kitty alarm clock that was meowing away stopped suddenly. After changing out of her pajamas and into her school uniform Ryo went to her apartment’s small kitchenette and made some breakfast. She had already made her lunch the night before and it was waiting in the fridge. A long cylindrical holder lay against the wall near the front door. Inside were both her wooden and metal practice swords. They were medium length curved swords used for her club practice after school. She picked this up along with her lunch and bag and ran out the door to go to school. Just before closing the door behind her she called out into the empty room “Bye bye Miyuki, I’ll see you when I get back from practice”. And with that she ran off.

Ryo waltzed to school at her usual pace, a near run. She hoped over garbage cans and ran along the tops of walls. After her first month of trial and error she had finally found the fastest route to school and running it was her morning exercise. She was in great shape and could usually make the trip in no time flat. She reached the last wall before the street leading to the school and jumped up grabbing the edge of the wall and started pulling herself over. Before she vaulted all the way over the wall she took a quick peek over it to see if there was anyone on the other side that could see up her uniform skirt before she landed. The only person near the wall on the other side was Anna. Not caring about that Ryo flew right over her head and landed beside her childhood friend.

Anna looked surprised to see Ryo fly over her head and when she landed Anna was covering her face with both hands. She spoke stuttered and sounded kind of shocked. “G-g-good morning Miss Ryo.” She slapped her hands to her side and gave a deep bow. Ryo rubbed the back of her head for a moment before responding “Anna, I keep telling you that you don’t need to do that. We’ve been friends since we were little. Don’t act so formal.” Anna slowly raised her head in response “Y-yes Miss Ryo.” She still didn’t seem to get it. With her head lifted Ryo realized that her face looked kinda flushed. In concern she moved closer and placed her forehead against Anna’s, moving both her blond hair and Anna’s short black hair out of the way so she could feel her head. Since Anna stood about a foot shorter then Ryo, who was about five foot five, she had to kneel down a bit. “Are you ok, you look like you might have a fever?” Ryo could swear that Anna’s head was warm but the moment she touched her Anna fell back and landed right on the sidewalk. Her face was redder than ever. She quickly jumped to her feat and said “No, I’m fine!” Ryo was still a little concerned but she had always acted like this.

They continued on to school from there. After arriving they sat down a little before class started and Ryo copied Anna’s homework. This happed just about every day. Ryo was strong and fast, she was a respected member of the schools swordsman’s club. But she was not all that smart, and she spent so much time practicing with her sword that she hardly had time to study. Anna was the opposite. She was not really strong physically but she was very smart. She was head of the literary club and always let Ryo copy her work. And she tutored her for tests. Ryo always felt bad, like she was taking advantage of Anna. But Anna never complained. Quite the opposite, she usually seemed anxious to help Ryo. It might have to do with how they first met.

Class went by as normal and at the end of the day everyone packed up and went their separate ways. In front of the school building Ryo met with Anna, she had been about to head off to sword practice when Anna stopped her and asked if they could talk. She seemed to be a little antsy about something so Ryo agreed figuring it was something important. They stood there in front of the school Anna tried many times to tell Ryo what she wanted to say but every time she just got flustered and had to stop. She kept looking down and rubbing her hands together in front of her nervously. Ryo waited patiently for her friend to talk but in the end it failed. “I’m sorry, never mind!” and with that Anna ran off towards the school gates. Confused Ryo walked off to her sword practice.

Sword practice was as hard as ever. She did well and really worked up a sweat. After practice she walked to the locker room. She was alone now; she often stayed after the regular practice to do some personal training. She kinda liked to change and shower alone anyway. Today she would not be alone; she would have too much company. As she pushed open the door to the locker room her school bag hit the floor and she stopped dead in her tracks. The scene in front of her was so unreal that she was stunned. She instantly felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. Standing on one of the locker room benches was something that could only be described as a monster. Even without standing on the bench it must have been at least a head taller than Ryo, it had green scales like a lizard and a jaw to match. It would have looked like a completely humanoid lizard if it were not for the patch of long, white fur that ran from the top of its head to the tip of its long dangerous tail. The worst part was what it was doing. At the end of its powerful arm was a hand wrapped around the neck of Anna. She lay limp in the creatures grasp, hands down to her side, eyes closed, unmoving. When it heard the thud form the school bag the monster turned its gaze to Ryo, and when its eyes focused in on her she froze with terror.

It's an interesting start. Sounds kind of more like you're dming then writing a novel though. lol. But everyone has their style of writing. Oh I hope there's some lesbo action. hehehe

Ch. 2 is coming along. I asked some people about the writing style. One of them was an English major in college. He said it was a good novel style. You may still be right of course I just like to think that I kinda post my DM stuff in a kinda novel format. But who knows.

And if someone actually wrote a fanfic for a novel I wrote I don’t know if I would be flattered, confused or both.

No no don't get me wrong I love your writing style, and it is quite novelish. Perhaps its just the use of the word "Party" in the first paragraph.
