Checkmate [Foreword] 06 Sunday Nov 2011
My works are unbeta-ed. Tread with caution.
TITLE: CHECKMATE
CHARACTERS: (please read the profiles below)
GENRE: (Multi-chaptered)AU Romance Fic
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the characters. This is purely made out of the writer’s (yours truly) imagination. The plot of the story is mine. There are some events that may not be accurate and has been purposely altered for the story. Apart from such, any resemblance to reality is not intended.
First, I will give you a warning. DO NOT ROOT FOR ANY PAIR YET. I cannot make up my mind on who should end up with who. Hell, I am not even half convinced in making Yunho as a major character! It’s not that I don’t like him, I do! But maybe not enough for him to earn any starring role yet. He got that part because he’s (is or was, up to you) Jaejoong’s friend. I believed in YunJae, not the Yaoi-ish YunJae but the fan-servicing, all-mushy, loved-up YunJae, (which is pretty much the same, now that I think about it, haha). Aside from that, I think I need a rest from any JaeMaki at the moment, I am getting too much of them lately. That, and having them on almost all my fanfics must be taking its toll. But again, one cannot be too sure that there wouldn’t be any.
I love Dara and Guigui too so it’s an obvious choice. I could write them because I somewhat know stuffs about them, which I think is very important. It’s just a matter of who’s gonna be this and that. Profiling is easy until Guigui. I want to experiment on pairings that would complement regardless of their true nature real-life image. I had a headache thinking who will fill in the nerd character. One thing is for sure, Toma should be here somewhere. I was browsing my albums and decided on writing Sato Takeru after remembering his klutz character on Den-O (thus the Kamen-Rider mention) but after so much self-induced debacle. Miura Haruma, Mizushima Hiro and Oguri Shun are some old time faves I found hard to ignore. Overexposure on the latter three’s part becomes my deciding factor. I too, considered MatsuJun and Mukai Osamu but put it aside. Akuma-Jun might go diva-ing on me with that idea. He’ll probably suit as the newbie, but Toma snagged it because like I said, he must be here. Remember my biases, thank you vey much. Truth be told, should I replace Yunho or Toma, I am yet to embrace a Jun x Maki OTP, any more than what’s needed. I’ve taken Mukai into serious consideration too. Like Jun though, it’s tough putting him into either’s character because he’s toopleasant. Narimiya Hiroki is a tough competition for Toma, that guy creeps me in a sexy and badboy way - which by the way is positive. I wasn’t sure of Yoo Seungho’s character either, but it appeals flexible enough. I know I must get someone young who can balance the superior beings in the story, thus explains Yoo Seungho, both an arrogant brat and an adorable dongseng (try watching God of Study!). Aaron Yan is dripping with GuiLun all over sans the mention.
Everything would be chaotic later on, and I cannot promise that the pairings would be what you want it to be, but rather what it should be depending on the story flow.
