Truth or Tale

I've been sitting on this fic (and its corresponding artwork) for ages. The painting I did back in 2011, and I've been working on various aspects of the story for even longer. DON'T ASK ME HOW MUCH LONGER xD >_>;

BUT OMG OMG YOU GUYS HERE I (MAYBE) FINISHED SOMETHING WOW WHY DID I WRITE A WHOLE PROLOGUE THAT'S WAY TOO LONG TO BE A PROLOGUE WTF www.fanfiction.net/s/9205202/1…

<sub>It took away all my indents when I submitted it, so I hope the formatting isn't too awful. haha like that's my biggest worry *hyperventilates*

ALSO I'M BRIBING PEOPLE TO READ/COMMENT XD
there's a prize at the endJust think of me as the bum who's at least offering you a song while he begs for your change. only please don't just avert your eyes and shuffle past me  
I'm not collecting money, though--I want opinions. Your opinion.
When I'm not painting, I'm writing. You might have heard me say that. And aside from mundane things like sleeping or work, I think it may literally be true. And this is what I've been working on, the reason your inboxes aren't flooded with more of my artwork. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9205202/1/Truth-or-Tale-The-Story-Behind-the-Story http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9374269/1/Truth-or-Tale-I-Bright-Blade

I'm not asking anyone to make the ridiculous all-consuming obsessive commitment that I've made to this story. No. You don't even want to know how much time I've put into this, or how long I've been working on various aspects of it. In fact, I don't even want to think about that. But you know what? All that time invested</sub>
