Oh, it's not the alternative version of FiLA. The new story isn't finished yet. I wasn't sure if I told you, but it started as an idea for a shonen ai story contest.

I thought, hey, it must be possible to put out something for it. Well I was wrong, I had an idea for an AU again. But then I started to make researches about Japan, and I realized that the idea was too, well, European, to transport it in the Japanese society. And in the meanwhile, the characters started to develop themselves, and I felt more and more strange about calling them Kenshin or Sano. So I decided to settle the story in England where it is still set.

But the story has so much evolued from the first idea that it is almost fun. I even have given up the idea to pair them, because the story, in my eyes, is better, if it goes about friendship and not about romance. So actually, it is the story about two guys: one of them is the friend or lover of the other's older brother who has comitted suicide. And his brother, his name is Jon (Jonathan Garfield), believes that the friend (Brian) has caused his brother's dead, (Well, this looks like Enishi, but it is not really the same situation) and during the story he learns that nothing is always as clear as it appears and that his brother wasn't just the perfect guy he had always pictured. The setting is like a road-movie(story), because Jon has been in jail, and they make the travel from Northern England to London together with Jon's mum.

I'm almost done with the first chapter, and I hope now writing will go better than before. Aside from this, I hope that the story doesn't become too cheesy. It is generally melancholic and contains some shocking revelations, but it is not really depressing.

As for the bishies, I also focus on the psychology, and in FiLA, I have sometimes other pictures in mind as the real characters. But sometimes, it is just nice to create normal people who make the best with their lives. Maybe, the superficial accent on extern beauty is something that appears more in shonen ai or yaoi stories which aren't meant to be realistic anyway.

Have a nice day.

Your original story sounds great.Isn't friendship a kind of unselfish love?Will you post it in Fiction Press?Is it in English?
