Decca Story Origins and Thoughts:
Decca: The Battle of Cards story started off as a simple concept, Iwanted to build a story centered around powerful cards and I'm a big fanof trading card games of course, so it was a no brainer what the coreof the story would be about. As a big fan of Shōnenanime,like Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho etc., I wanted to fuse mypassion for trading card games and anime by creating a story thatcenters around interesting characters that battle each other withtrading cards. Yeah, I know the concept hasbeen done before.However, my idea took a bit of inspiration from anime like Naruto justto name an example, where the characters learn techniques using theirhands to summon elemental and other type of abilities. For my story thecards would be key for the fights. Characters would be involved infast-paced action but of course using different cards in order to summonthe different techniques and elemental abilities. There could besomething out there, a comic book, another novel, a video game even thatprobably has a similar concept or basic elements to my idea. Well, Ihaven't come across it just yet. Any similarities is just coincidental.The debut of this story, the first rough draft, was posted originally onStorywars.com. This site no longer exists unfortunately, but turns outthat my story really didn't take off on that platform. (If you do alittle of investigating on Storywars.com you'll understand.) I decidedto take it and expand on it and eventually I was able to create 8chapters (Still a work in progress.) However, I decided to give up on itfor a time due to lack of response from an audience. I kept fixing andadding to the story little by little. I officially added all 8 roughdraft chapters to websites like DeviantArt, Booksie and Wattpad to name afew. I got a lot of hits on Booksie.com but Wattpad.com andDeviantArt.com was not very successful. (I even created many differenttypes of cards for the story and posted them on my DeviantArt profile https://www.deviantart.com/eamproductions). But I kept at it and eventually found this awesome site. I decided thatif the story does take off I would dedicate more of my time to it. Onthis site I decided to take my time, take it slow and not rush and addall the rough draft chapters but instead see if there is enoughinterest. If I see the interest, I will dedicate more of my time todevelop and edit each upcoming chapter. Thanks for reading and yoursupport. - X Caliber - Take care!
