Oh hah, this entire story started out as an inside joke. We would just spend time in one of our classes writing up dialogue and scenes for this story. ~
FateLikesTeal's real name is Emily Konishi, so take the first few letters of the first and last name and there we go. But the story isn't actually about Emily at all, we just took the name.
Even after we graduated from high school this story ceased to die off quietly so here we are, a collaborative effort of a story we one day hope to publish!
