InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Hauntings ❯ Dear reader/Acknowledgments ( Prologue )

To my editor and friend, Kedo, who has pushed me off of cliffhangers, deleted countless pages of writing, and forced me into updates despite my heath, state of mind, inspiration, or lacktherof. Who has demanded a new chapter no matter how often I quit. This is for you. I only wish you could have helped me with my grammar as well. X3

 

Dear reader,

 

The small town you are about to enter is completely fictional and based on no real life source. It is located just beyond the United States border which has grown in the 50 year difference between our time and when the story takes place. The town has no name and it will remain nameless throughout our journey.

 

In this town fifty, years prior to our main character's transfer, a seventeen year old male student at Crystal High commits suicide. Around the same time a maniac is arrested for the kidnap, rape, and torture of young women held captive within the second basement of his library.

 

Are you ready to strap yourself in for nonstop gooey mushy supernatural love and romantic comedy from the not too distant future?? You will face many unanswerable questions, silly random pranks, and my own dreary sarcastic and self-hating remarks.

 

Let me know what you think of this little piece. Despite what I say from here on out I have really enjoyed writing this and relish the experience I have received as reward.

 

P.S. If you wish you can check out my many other works who have profited from said experience and the wonderful critic my readers have given me.

 

Acknowledgments:

 

I must thank my many friends and reviewers who have helped me complete this terrific if somewhat infuriating tale.

To my one and only flamer, then and now, Takari_lover, who swore from the beginning she would tell me whenever I do something stupid and has held to that promise vigilantly. You have always kept me in my novice place. For that I thank you. The last thing any reader needs is an arrogant writer, and I'm forever grateful for your sarcasm.

 

Thanks to my dearest older brother who's ideas and suggestions, though often vague and ill-timed, are what this story is based upon.

 

To sesshoumaru_kagura, my first reviewer; though you seem to have disappeared since then.

 

To FormerlyOrb;CrimsonSuns;and katiepatiemy most frequent reviewers. You have helped me more than you could ever know.

 

To BirkysSpy; miaha_water_angel; Inu_lover20045; sesshomaru1986; Gothic_Beauty9000; shrine^maiden; kisdas; Shinobi-chan; KAJA1234; inu_luver_2004; killthetoaddemon; Katastrophe; kendo_girl16;Neko-yashaccs; AmericanMiko1112; marijang69; Jason C; Cindyve13; sugi; junsei; and tinita.

You have all helped me along, with either one simple review repeating “update!” over and over again, or threatening me for cliffhangers, or by the much needed and greatly appreciated critic that I value so much from reviewers. I thank you all.

 

 

And last but most defiantly not least. To my dear friend Kola, who helped me along morethan anybody else, even my editor.
