Well, here's the full story of my second long story. This idea was formed while I was in my Senior Trip in the east coast. It was also in that same trip that the idea of Dragon TF and Werewolf TF was formed. When I first wrote Ho-Oh TF at dA a couple of years ago, I didn't expect that it'll lead me to here. In fact, it was suppose to be a stand alone short story that was celebrating the release of Pokemon HeartGold since that was the version I was getting. But people asked for a follow up for the SoulSilver version and I agreed to do a Lugia TF. While I was coming up for a story, I was also thinking around the same time on what species Daren and Zelda would be since I can't use the prototype version (don't ask). Then it clicked, like a Doctor Who story. Thus the Athrú is born. The name appeared on Lugia TF and afterwards. By that point, I knew that the long stories series and short stories series would meet. In a way, Fox and Wolf TF was just a bridge to the meeting spot. A good bridge, but a bridge nonetheless. I first come up with the story during my last year of high school, during the school musical(I was an actor). At first, it wasn't the prequel to Fines Malum, but a stand alone story with Daren and Zelda. It was darker too, with the title being Fur and Lustful. Yes, I was going there. But I changed my mind months later, after I've finish the first version of Werewolf TF, and decided that it was too dark and I may get odd questions. Also at the time, I decided to let this became a prequel while pushing back the original prequel back until it's molded better. What's the original one, you may ask? Well, that's the next book I'm writing. I wrote the story during the first semester of college and was ready to post by the end of the year, but unexpected things happened. Werewolf TF wasn't ready as I expected it would be. I choose :icongreyhound1211: to rewrite them first because I messed up the first time and I feel I can only make it worse. Plus, I'm still beginning to write at the point. I didn't want to post this story before Werewolf TF because I want the twist, the fact that these two series were a part of the larger story, happen in Werewolf TF. So it got delay for more than the year before I finally post Werewolf TF and then this one. I'm very sorry for the delay and I'll try not to let it happen again.
