Warnings
(and whatnot)
Of Rating:
When it comes to literature, I think warnings and ratings are
simply irrelevant. But I can understand that some people dislike
stumbling upon things they find shocking. So be it known that
there will be mature content, but since the story isn't done yet,
I simply don't know which kind or level of "maturity"
it will be. There will be explicit sex if I feel like it, or not.
And probably explicit violence. And certainly some shounen-ai,
lemon yaoi and other kind of male/male relationship stuff since
this story is partly based upon classic Greek texts. If you don't
like it, complain to Aeschyle or Ovid, not to me - and no, I
don't have their email addy ;)
Of Storyline and Timeline:
This story takes place within two different timelines: ancient
mythological age and modern days (starting before the Sanctuary
Battle). To help the reader tell one from the other, ancient one
is written in past tense, and modern in present tense.
Okay, I confess. I took HUGE artistic license with both mythology
and St-Seiya parts. Admittedly, I'm writing this for fun - mine
and the readers' - and when it comes to fun I don't like being
bound (who does?). Fun is too serious to limit one's imagination.
First change is about ST-Seiya characters' age. I generously
added 4-5 years... Nobody will ever persuade me that Shiryu or
even Seiya were 13/14 years old boys.
Of Copyright and Property:
Saint-Seiya characters are property of Masami Kurumada, Toei
Animation and any company legally owning them, whatever they are.
Greek, norse and egyptian divinities and heroes are property of
mankind.
Artemis, Apollo, Eros and Aphrodite, as described in this story,
are the creation of Derrewyn Aensland, may she be blessed for her
talented imagination!
Of Language:
This humble writer doesn't have english as her first language.
And to make things even worse, has learnt Shakespeare's tongue
mostly in the US of A... So, yeah, it won't be that perfect, and
I apologize in advance for any language-related error.
Special Thanks:
To Derrewyn, Torquemada, Toffee and Boadicea for their talent and
for giving me the will (urge?) to write this piece of delirium
which I humbly hope you will enjoy. To Homer, Ovid and Aeschyle
for the same reasons. And to my dear friend Darrell for helping
me with "da friggin' english language".
