Tonuchi Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Disclaimer: I have read the tutorials and advice on the subject of Fanfic on this site. While I can understand why some might want to write in those formats I don't wish to. This Fanfic will be more like a book then a script although I may play around with the duel format until I get it just right.[align=center]Yu-Gi-Oh: The Duelist Knights[/align] [spoiler=Fanfiction Plan]Before I begin I would like to share my plan for this fanfic. Beyond the book format I also will have some other additions that I hope you like. First with every new chapter I plan on not only using new cards but actually create at least one with my own art. I will probably reach out to the readers to help create cards to allow for a more diverse art style. Hopefully this will help to keep things clearer and allow for a better mental picture. I will also being looking for music to listen to while reading for each chapter. The music however will not be mine. As for a schedule, hopefully I can write at least one chapter every two weeks. I do tend to be busy. [spoiler=Chapter 1: The Necklace (Long)] DOooonng! The Domino clock tower rang defiantly. The recently installed tower rose amongst the skyline and the face of the clock glowed in the night. DOooonng! The first fireworks shot from the top, soaring out of eyesight then exploding into a plethora of colors and bangs. DOooonng!More fireworks shot upwards in unison and and fell together in a fading dance. DOooonng! On the main road leading to the tower a young was sprinting. His sneakers rhytmically slammed against the asphalt. DOooonng! The fireworks reflected off the glass walls of buildings creating the feeling that they were not just above, but all around you. DOooonng! The hands of the clock pointed to the full moon as if they wished to be attached to the celestial body instead. DOooonng! As the man ran his necklace bounced around his neck. Two leather strings holding up a small slab of polished black onyx. DOooonng! The man couldn't hear the fireworks, he couldn't hear his feet. DOooonng! Instead the clock towers toll rang ominously in his head. DOooonng! A wave of air swept over the city coming from within the clock tower. Creating a dark fog over the streets.DOooonng! The man stumbled in the fog. The air was thick and it dragged him to the ground, where his necklace started to glow. DOooonng! It was midnight and Leon was too late. --- Leon's eyes shot awake, the rest of his body laying still. He was drenched in a cold sweat and his watch was ticking monotonously on his bed stand. He lay there breathing for an unknown time until the sun began to shine through the crack in the curtains. The dream was had been so vivid. He hadn't been sure completely if it was a dream. He had never visited Domino City, nor did he have a necklace. Yet the the feeling of the fog still lingered over him as if it gripped him to the bed. At this thought he scared himself and just to be sure he sat up. Nothing held him down. It was a dream. Then he remembered something else. It was also his birthday. After a brief shower and getting dressed, Leon went downstairs to eat a birthday breakfast with his parents. He was still thinking of the dream during the meal and his parents asked if he was sick three times. It was whiled staring at a pancake, with blueberries making out the number 17, when Leon finally snapped out it. The back door had been opened and he turned around in curiosity. There in the doorway stood a middle aged man. He was wearing a Hawaiian shirt adorned with pineapples and palm trees. He had bushy hair that was hidden under a straw hat and he carried a big smile on his face. "Uncle Jack!" Leon shouted and jumped from the table. Within seconds he was embracing his uncle. "You're finally back!" "And you are finally 17, am I correct?" asked Jack. "My how you have grown." Uncle Jack wasn't actually related to Leon, but was a family friend since he was very little. After saying good-bye to his parents Leon and Uncle Jack were driving around town. Along the way Jack had been describing his last two years of traveling. After Jack's brother and best friend had died the cheerful man fled the country. He had visited multiple countries held over ten different jobs, but had finally returned for his "nephew's" seventeenth birthday. 'Leon," Jack started and they were driving "There is something I need to tell you." He had fallen into a silence and Leon began to be a bit nervous. "Camels, are amazing." With this the man laughed and pulled over into Leon's driveway. He patted Leon on the shoulder and reached behind his chair for a small box. "Happy Birthday Leon." Leon graciously accepted the package and opened the box. Leon's face grew pale as he saw the contents nearly dropping it. "You look like you have seen a ghost." Uncle Jack said. Leon felt that way. Putting his hand into the box he pulled out a necklace. Two leather strings holding up a small slab of polished black onyx. Engraved into the onyx was an eye. "Thats Udjat, otherwise known as the eye of Horus. I got it while in Egypt, I hope you like it." Leon found it hard to respond at first, however he didn't want to seem rude. "Its very... mysterious." he said grabbing at the first word that came to him. He felt stupid for saying it and quickly put the necklace on. "Thank you Uncle." "My pleasure, and it looks good on you. I have to go though, it seems that after being gone for two years I have some business to attend to. I will see you soon." (The first chapter was a bit longer than I had hoped for, and I didn't even get to a duel. Don't worry they are coming, and in my opinion they are some cool duels. I also have one... tiny.... problem. While I have (mentally) constructed decks for all of the opposing duelists. I still can't think of a theme, or play style for Leon. Any suggestions would help. Thanks for reading and look for chapter two within a week.) Reserved for card catalog and character profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Seems to be an ok start, I want to see more of this fic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonuchi Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 It is just a preview, barely touches on the story. I was just too tired to finish this first part. By the way, was it easy to read or should I double space it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I could read it, although double spacing is recommended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonuchi Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 (God I feel like such a n00b) Might I ask how you double space? Like is there code for it, or do people just press enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 pressing enter is one way. Or you can just type the chaps on Microsoft Word (make sure you press "ctrl + 2" first, which will automatically allow you to double space) then copy the chaps here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 That works too. I thought word would have made it so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonuchi Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Me to but alas, anyhow, the first chapter didn't come out as planned. Might just make it a prologue, or cut some of it. Hopefully I can get another chapter up tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I'd say just keep it as a prologue, it'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
