Introduction to the
series: The following fanfiction stories written by me are based on
the legendary romantic anime series, Kimagure Orange Road. I wrote it out of
whim because I had plenty of free time on my hands. (i.e. free on Friday
nights in October '95) Anyhow, the timeline for the story takes place just after Shin KOR I.
Since I came up with most of the plot elements of the story before being aware
that Shin KOR II had been written, this story is intended to represent an
alternate timeline to Shin KOR II. (kind of like Star Trek, with various
possible futures depending on the path chosen; also happened in Christmas TV
KOR episode) Who knows? With Kyosoke's ESPer powers, he can pretty much jump
back and forth in time all he wants and pursue different scenarios of the same
situation.
I've takened the liberty of incorporating some events and
information from the manga, anime, and SHiN Kor I. (Which is all I've read of
KOR!)
Please be aware of copyright issues. I surely don't want to get in trouble
with the author or publishers over this. This fanfic is purely for the enjoyment
of KOR fans.
Disclaimers about the story: The themes in the
story can sometimes be very adult and graphic in nature at times. Be
forewarned and read with discretion. The tone of these stories are mostly
serious in nature; i.e. these stories are not written specifically to be
capriciously or whimsically, although these situations do occur in some
instances. If you have any problems with any parts of the story, be sure to
send me constructive feedback by emailing me at this address: rk@soda.berkeley.edu. I hope
you enjoy reading these stories. I know I did.
Final Words:Last, the PRELUDE section listed here can be
optionally read. You should read the Book A
stories first, or read the stories by the date order in which they were
written. Initially, I wrote the Book A stories first. By halfway through the
book, I received a complaint from a reader at my audaciousness for killing off
a certain minor, but still revelant KOR cast member. (You have to read my Book
A chapters to find out who died! ;) ) This member was not even mentioned in
the Shin Kor I novel, so I saw it fit to dispose of him/her and end their
misery. But I decided to relent and write up some stories for him/her for good
measure, being that they are dead already. Also, these stories help clarify
some details mentioned in my Hard Kor Books which might confuse the reader. So
these Prelude series stories is designed to enhanced the readability and
enjoyment of the HardKor Saga.
Contributions and feedback of any type such as
constructive criticisms, flames, or maybe a few words of praise is greatly
appreciated. Authors can't just get by on wine and water alone! Do you like
the pictures on these pages? Please tell me.
