author's notes :D

picture with no purpose. ^^

Haha. Yeah.

So; I see author's notes in the back of most books I like, so I thought I'd do it. ;P

Here it goes;

The Title;

• Yeah. No real explanation.
• You know the prefix 'un' means 'not'. And the words 'souls' means... Well, souls.
• So really, the title is pretty much a play on words for saying that the main characters really don't have souls- or at least don't think they do.
• The 'x' in the title has no purpose at all. (:

The character names; This does have an explanation.

• 'Miki' is named after one of my favorite mangakas. ^-^ And it reminds of Mickey Mouse. XD
• 'Hail' is just a plain awesome name. But it seemed reasonable to still give him a name that wasn't too unique. So his full real name is 'Mikhael'. Even though it may not be pronounced the same, pronounce it as the stuff that falls from the sky.
• 'Saje'... Just to give out a different name. I thought about the name 'Sage' and thought that it reminded me of a smart person. And I knew I'd be stuck on that name. But I changed the 'g' to a 'j' for originality.
• 'Rina' had no real purpose for naming. But it sounded cool.

Why I Even Bothered;

• No reason. I don't really know why I started writing this story.
• It was late at night, and I was listening to some crappy song on my iPod then something miraculously blasted into my head and I reached for the nearest notebook and started writing. I started this in like the summer of 2008[towards the end, at least]. August, most likely. I don't remember the exact day.
• The more I was writing and actually getting into it, the more I decided to keep writing and all that.
• At first I was writing for myself. But then my friends seemed to love it. So I continued for them. Now I'm continuing just for the hell of it. XD

Facts;

• This story took up four notebooks worth of paper. I know, hard to believe it, but it's true.
• This had a completely different plot to it when I first started it; but I changed it when I realized that it didn't really let myself use my creativity. Plus, it sucked even more than the plot you read.

My story is different. And that's something I like about it. I'm glad that it's different. Everyone mentions fantasy fiction now, but I never hear anything about dragons. You never hear about humorous angels or bubbly vampires. [ yeah, you hear about a variety of witches with personailities. ] The entire thing itself, is different. Even the plot and ideas. What can I say, I have a stupid mind...

The whole point of this story is to be different. I wanted to read a story that stood out, and made even the fiction people actually do read to seem almost realistic. So yeah. But at the same time, it had to make some kind of sense. Some. But unfortunately, there really wasn't a story like that. So I had to write one.

So if you love this story; Thanks. (: I'm glad you stuck through with me and the story this whole time! Hopefully I entertained you enough to keep you from dying of boredom or some other deadly disease. ;P And remember to tell people, lol. :)

And if you hate this story; Then we have something in common. If you don't like it, I don't care. I don't really like this story either. It has several flaws in the plot and horrible descriptions. But gimme a break; I'm only a kiddo, after all.

And something to keep in mind; If you think you're life sucks, you could be an orphan damned to the earth that can never keep a stable relationship with regular humans or you'll kill them all. You could be someone who can't give hugs because it'd hurt people. Just remember that. [I made the main character's lives so miserable for a reason]

And even if your life is somehow like that(weird); Anyone can have best friends, and anyone can love you, even when the world is so... weird(: [I made the main characters best friends for a reason too]

And finally;

What's after this?

• Revisions. I plan on going through each chapter, and revising it sentence by sentence. Adding some more, deleting a few. Etc.
• A sequel? Yeah. I figured that the plot I chose for this incredibly screwed story is open ended enough to start a sequel. Hell, I'm always bored out of my mind. Maybe I'll try my chances at an entire retarded series... I probably will, if I got the time for it. I'm not exactly a 'writer' and the fact that I actually got this far makes me want to continue no matter what.
• Speaking of a sequel... I finished this story on the day the next one takes place on. XD creeepppyyy.

disclaimer;

• I own the story. You don't.
• Don't take anything fictional in this seriously. That's... insane, if you do. ;P

that's it.

thanks for reading. :D

p.s. i'll prolly update this later. you know, if more people even read this.
