Chapter Text
Mission Statement
1) I want to tell a human story, not just about cartoon characters, but of the deeply human themes of life, love, death, sorrow, hope, compassion, family and community.
2) I want to portray my protagonist as a fully human character -- and not some kind of cardboard saint, devil, or clown. I want to write a character that is relatable in their flaws, strengths, struggles, and triumphs.
3) I want to advance the conversation about common experiences among marginalized peoples through fanfiction.
4) I want to elevate fanfiction into an art form that rivals literature but can be appreciated on its own merits
7) I want to improve my writing and entertain my readers
Life Notes - Holy shit I hate re-writing. I don't why I can't accurately estimate how long it takes me to do stuff. However I long I think it's gonna take i should just double it. Good news is I got a job. Bad news is I only have enough energy to write on weekends.
Also, I don't know why the publishing date says that but it's incorrect. This story was first published August 2017 but as usual Ao3 is doing weird shit I don't understand.
Anyway, without further ado...on with the show.
