For the last few weeks I was juggling with the idea over whether or not I should continue writing fanfiction. I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before but my little sisters encouraged me to start writing fanfiction just to see if people would like the way I write. So I started with a story Bekah, Rachel, and I had come up with which is the
Bleach: Phantoms of the Past, story I mentioned in a previous post. After the Bleach story I got an idea for a Soul Eater (really awesome anime/manga but not one I would recommend for kids) fanfiction called
Soul Eater: New Horizons and began writing it. I felt like the story had come to a dry spot because it wasn't getting many reviews or as many hits as my first story. I started wondering if I should keep going or just stop writing fanfiction altogether because it felt like my stories just weren't interesting and focus my attention on my original works. I decided that I would post one more chapter and if someone reviewed it I would keep going. Well I got way more than what I expected. I got emails letting me know that I had a review, a favorite, and an alert, all for
New Horizons. I was a bit shocked when I saw the emails. I sent a 'thank you' message to the person (I like to thank the people who like my stories.) I got a reply from the girl asking if she could make fanart for
New Horizons and, of course, I said yes. So we messaged back and forth her with questions and making sure certain things were ok, I'm not picky so I always said yes and made it clear how excited I was to see her drawings.
And if you haven't already guessed I am going to keep writing fanfiction! I'm going to keep writing fanfiction (along with my original works) because inspiring someone with my stories is what I set out to do as a writer. Having someone want to draw fanart with my characters may seem like a small thing to other people but it means the world to me. I owe a huge thank you to that girl for lifting me up and giving me the boost I needed to keep on writing. She knows I'm talking about her and if you're reading this thank you so much!
I got permission from the artist to share the art here. The fanart is below based on my fanfiction story
Soul Eater: New Horizons. I just love the pictures!
This one is of my original characters Death Angel, Sid, and Sully.
And this one is of Death Angel.
I do not own Soul Eater. Soul Eater is manga series created by Atsushi Ohkubo.
I do not own Bleach. Bleach is a manga series created by Tite Kubo.
