The fic will not have Yaoi or any NTR, if I do ramance sex scenes would only be implied since I don’t want to loose focus on the actual plot like the many horny writers out there do. For that same reason there will not be any harem since writers who write harem fics tend to focus more on harem building than they do on the actual plot or growth of non female side characters. ____ last note: This isn’t my first attempt at writing a fanfiction but the first fanfiction I have decided to try and commit to. I can’t make any promises on quality but rest assured the only reason I haven’t wrote before is because I care about the quality. most of my issues with writing stem from overthinking something or trying to follow too close to cannon. my goal for the story is break both of those habits. try not to flame me too much in the comments.
