I'm taking a Creative Writing class at university. I finished and posted my first text to the class blog, but then I figured I might as well bung it here because I have some things to say that greatly bother me but that I can't say in the class blog.

There's Room in Your Heart for Both of Us

Fandom: Original fiction.
Date Finished: September 11, 2012.
Word Count: 1149.
Genre: Gen mostly, although romance is discussed.
Rating: G.
Contains: A semi-polyamorous relationship of a sort.
Warnings: None.
Author's Notes: This is ostensibly original fiction, but in fact the setting and the characters I have in mind are related to Tales of Symphonia. I will probably edit and expand this story to make it fit in the ToS world later. (And correct the language. I'm aware there are British and American colloquialisms mixed together. *sigh*) I'm interested in polyamory and asexuality and they've been on my mind of late; it probably comes through in this piece! I don't like the fact that I didn't get to include the third character, Jay, at all here -- but this bloody thing was already getting to be too long as it was. So, I realize how creepy/bossy/manipulative Nadia may come across as in this piece, but it's not supposed to be that one-sided, the decision to turn the relationship polyamorous. If/when I get around to editing this piece, that's the first thing I'm going to fix. For now, I just wanted to say that I am not happy with the implications that are there. I'm aware of the issue and wish to address it... just not at the moment. I've been up for far too long polishing this version. x_x


Summary: Nadia is in a happy relationship with Matt, but she is growing tired of his tendency to favor her over his best friend with whom he has an extremely close bond.
