Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Worthless Humans ❯ The End Thoughts ( EndNotes )

Okay I hope I am using this section right. If not, I deeply apologize and will try to correct that.

 

How did this story begin? Well, it began first of all as an idea that sprung quickly to my head while sleeping during 12th grade literature class. I had done a previous YGO story that had rape and such within it and it awkwardly drew a crowd and so I dug a bit deeper and got a bit darker with the three demons I loved and wanted to write about in this story. Besides, dammit, nobody really writes about Kuronue let alone talks about him and he was an awesome demon who I observed as loyal.

 

Of course, two things happened that make me laugh to this day. First of all, the first comment I ever got was a flame. Straight flame saying how horrible the story was and that I should remove it and it was in all 1 grading (don't bother looking, I deleted it) and I only did the first chapter! I actually did the second chapter or third and at that moment I got bored of it and I think I ignored it for a little while and that was why it took nearly three dang years to finish this thing. I know I came and went frequently until finally this year deciding it had to be wrapped up.

 

Secondly, I told an ex friend during the early progress of this story that I should just give up on OC writing/pairing because nobody cares about OC characters. I don't know what I did right, but a few people have told me that this was one of the first ever OC pairings or story that had an OC that they approved of and liked.

 

Needless to say I was shocked by the outcome of this story. This is the first, and will probably be the last, where I will write a story that will spawn this much attention and praise. It was nice to receive (regardless of the one theft I got from this) but then the time in the spotlight got troublesome. I don't know if I was looking at it all negatively because I was overwhelmed with the sickness I had or what but I was eager to finish this story and finally recede out of the spotlight for the moment.

 

I would also like to say this now to any fans of the demons who think I portrayed them horribly: I LOVE THE CHARACTERS I WRITE ABOUT! Sorry, thought I would shout that. I didn't write this story to have people hate Yoko Kurama, to hate Yomi, or to have anybody hate any character I wrote unless they were my OC and portrayed to be the bad guy AKA Suzu the snake demon witch. Yu Yu Hakusho is the first ever anime I have watched where I love dearly all the characters within the show. Minus Yukina, Kuwabara, and Keiko of course but that is just me. If I don't like a character, they will not be written. I cannot write or bash anything or anybody because what is the point, especially if they won't help my story move along? That is why in my stories you will mostly see Yuske but never his sidekick the talking parrot Kuwabara because I don't like him. I love everyone else but the three ones mentioned and comparing that small percentage of characters to some of the anime series I have watched and just loathed almost everyone but a few, that is quite something for me to come across an anime and adore 98 percent of the characters.

 

I am sorry if you think Yoko Kurama or Yomi were portrayed too ruthlessly but that was what they were like back when. I got the vibe from watching the episodes fifty million times where the two conversed about their past together. Yoko Kurama was a wise but a deadly warrior that everyone feared, and Yomi was brash and reckless back then—heck, Yomi even admits it years later when he is blind. I don't mean for people to read this and think the two of the demons suck hardcore because they are actually awesome characters and I don't intend to have people be swayed from that.

 

When I first started writing this story, I intended for Kuronue to meet his end and pair Nari up with Yoko Kurama through a painful connection they would have. But, people just loved the Kuronue and Nari pairing and so I went against my original plan and stuck with it. Besides, I couldn't bear to undo what I had done—it seemed too cruel given all Nari had been through and to build up a relationship with someone who hurt her the worst seemed kind of out of left field and unreal. As far as Okuro goes—I just wanted him to be different from his birth father and have black ears and tail. I figured that some demons don't come out looking identical to their folks so I just ran with an alternate color change for his fox appendages.

 

Okay…the topic I hate the most…the dreaded sequel topic…

 

As far as a sequel would go, or at least one I had in mind, would not have Nari or Kuronue within it. They would be mentioned from time to time, and, maybe they would show up, but they would not be the center focus of the story. It would be about other slaves getting their butts dragged to Makai and sold at the city and I wanted to put in the characters such as elder Yomi, Suzuka, Shishi, Jin, Touya, Chuu, Riku, Netsume, Mukuro, and Kujo. Those are the other main characters I adored and want to sneak in. I plan on writing it regardless but it won't be in circulation until a year or so when I have had enough of slaves being raped. I need a breather for the moment on that topic. *chuckles nervously*

 

Anyways, I thank you all for putting up with me during the rough times and actually reading my story. I had no idea there were stories about slavery out there already. So, thanks for making me feel special for this moment. It was nice to receive such helpful comments to continue this piece. Without them, I would have stopped it forever ago.
