InuYasha Meets Avenue Q by gypsiewine

An Introduction

AN INTRODUCTION

This story is set in a North American city much like any other North American city; it takes place in no particular place, it just exists. Yes, I know we are supposed to be in Japan, but I don't feel like it. Besides, this story is based on the musical "Avenue Q" (which I don't own, along with InuYasha), which is set somewhere in the United States.

This is not a story with deep troubling over-tones: I'm tired of that.

This is not a smut fest (sorry, but I'm tired of those too).

There is no Kikyo bashing (not that I'm her biggest fan, but I really just don't care about it).

Chances are Naraku will not show up.

The Shikon no Tama does not exist in anyway shape or form.

It is not an epic love story of a Romeo and Juliet nature, or of a Titanic nature.

There is no Kikyo/InuYasha/Kagome messy love triangle that Sesshoumaru sweeps in to save Kagome from.

Kouga is not a weakling (why do people keep doing that?)

Nobody is a demon, hanyou, witch, angel, all-powerful miko, soldier of the heavens, a God/Goddess, vampire, were-wolf, mummy, zombie, gate-keeper to the underworld, the next Jesus incarnated, or whatever.

NOBODY falls instantly in love (why do people keep doing that too?)

Everyone is a (reasonably) NORMAL human being. (Shocker! My goodness, what kind of craziness is this? It's insane!)

The pairings are not cannon. If I wanted that, I'd go watch the anime or read a canon story. If YOU want that, go watch the anime or read a cannon story.

I have no idea if Mateo will show up again. She was pretty popular in "you spin me right round", so you never know. But probably not.

This story is a parody spin on song fics, it will mention and make fun of porn, crazy yoai people, and the concept of the otaku. Cross-overs may happen (briefly. Please remember that this is a parody). Situations will go horribly wrong. Chances are there WILL be whiskey.

If you have made it this far, congrats! I'm so proud of you! Ladies (and gentlemen) this is a story unlike any other story that has graced the world of fanfiction for the longest time: it is, quite simply, a doodle of words, done solely for silliness.

Now that all of that has been taken care of, one more thing: let's talk about Kagome for just one second.

Kagome: Our main girl, who in this story is actually acting like Kagome. She has no dark past, her family loves her, she was not an outcast in school, has no strange hair, tattoos, piercing, etc. She has just graduated from university, and is looking for a place to live. She is not running away from a dark tragedy, was not abused as a child, her dad is dead just like how he is supposed to be, and yes, she likes the colour pink, not black. She is not morbid, suicidal, or anything of the sort, nor is she pregnant with a litter.

Are we good? Yes? Awesome. ON WITH THE SHOW!
