So now that I have read everything you have on AO3 and am officially caught up with your current works, I got curious about how much that would be in book equivalent. I did a little research, and a 300-page book is around 150K words. So as of today you've written over 12 books of Fruits Basket fanfiction. And I thank you for it!
Additionally, now that I am up to speed on your collection, I would love to give some story suggestions. Just suggestions though, take them or leave them! As I have said before, if you write it I will read it. - I'd love to know more about everyone's wedding ceremonies. Not like a Kyo & Tohru wedding level of detail, but just... more. The little bit you shared of Ayame & Mine's wedding, and the little bit you mentioned of Saki & Lorenzo's have me so very curious! - I'd love to know more about Hatori and Tohru visiting Germany for Momiji's graduation. It would be Tohru's first time travelling outside of the country, right?
Okay, that's it. I love this world you've built. Thank you for sharing it!
Uff, that's a lot of pages, a lot of books, and a lot of words when you put it like that! It's been a joy to write, though, and I'm impressed with your dedication in tackling it all (and also cringing a bit because I have so many little tweaks I need to do that are still an ongoing project!).
Thank you for the suggestions! I don't know if I'd write stories of the weddings, but that could be a fun entry for the trivia section of this work, when I get back to it; what kinds of weddings everyone had, and any interesting details!
I've actually thought a lot about tackling Tohru going to Germany; it would be her first time on a plane, even, not just her first time travelling to another country, and there's so many angles there: her and Kyo dealing with the separation and her travelling, quality bonding time with Hatori (I love Tohru and Hatori's relationship and it makes me sad that there really aren't a lot of opportunities to write them as they age), Tohru the starry-eyed and overwhelmed foreign tourist, Tohru meeting Hans for the first time...Momiji will be telling Hans about the Curse while Tohru and Hatori are there, and I hope to write out that Curse reveal...there's really a lot! My big hangups so far are my relative lack of familiarity with international travel.
I just sifted through my inbox trying to find this comment. I just wanted to follow up and say that if you were still interested in the "Tohru and Hatori visiting Momiji" story but hesitating because of the travel piece, I'd be happy to offline with you about that. I'm a dual US/UK citizen and have spent a lot of time travelling back and forth to Europe. I've never visited Germany but I might be able to help with any general queries. No pressure, just an offer. :)
Thank you, that's very kind! I'm not 100% if it's something I'll do at this point, but if you wanted (again, no obligation), what I'd most be curious about the process of arriving at the airport to getting on a plane, then from getting off a plane to leaving the airport, in both cases as an international traveler. I know there's waiting involved, and customs? And I realize that it's something I could BS, but I feel like more people who might read this have flown internationally than attended karate class in Japan so I feel less comfortable totally winging it.
They'd be flying business class, because no way Hatori is flying to Germany in economy, but the airport stuff, I feel, would be similar.
At the very least, I would like to do "Tohru navigating an airport and getting on a plane for the first time and Hatori having to deal with it' because I think that would be cute.
And obviously, no worries if you change your mind!
