Summary:

Family...we all define it differently. But, how would you react if you suddenly found family you didn't know you had? And that family was very different than what you expected? One Makoto Kino is about to find out. Along the way she'll have to answer one important question: what is more important: Loyalty or family?


Author's Comments:

This story is set in the middle of the R season, after the Doom Tree arc but before the Black Moon Family arc. Also, because it is taking place in the R season, it means that it is set in 1992. Barring mistakes on my part, this story will reference 1992 like it is the present. Also, I'm not using dub names...at least, not in the way I might be accused of. There is a specific reason why a certain name comes up. Hang in there with me; I promise it will be worth it.

I like this story. It is really good so far.

Example; at the end of chapter two, when she is talking about how the VJ (Bill Bellemy hahaha!) was probably going to compare her with 'breakout star Toni Braxton'; the reference was good but I don't imagine her talking about her that way. I think she probably would have said, 'that new singer... (more)

Review of Constructed Ties

Dear December,

I just reviewed your first chapter. I think this is a good start. I wasn't quite sure about 'Miss Lita Ann Carlyle', but I persevered. It was good to find out about her entourage and how she perceived them as her family. Your descriptions of a press pack felt very real, as did the questions of the reporters and the small references to people of the time: there were no false notes, I believed that people would make these refe...
