Project

An archive needs candid logs, so on to the details:

Project Name:
Vision of Escaflowne continuation fanfiction

Setting:
"Van had his duties; Hitomi had her life. She had decided against fortune-telling; he had vowed for his country. Ten years later, they must discern destiny from illusion, for Gaea and their future."

Challenges:
Personal:
1. I haven't tried something of this scope before. As my notes are now, it's going to be 24 chapters. This experience in writing is going to be exciting and scary.
2. I suck at maintaining momentum. The project will take months and will be a major investment I've rarely made outside of school and work.

Story:
1. In addition to a completely coherent and believable plot, the continuation would have to measure up to the series' excitement, character developments, and complex storyline. Character personalities, country cultures, and other details must be followed. It'll need research, notes, and lots of analysis into character motivations.
2. The most important question: What would the story answer?
