A Disclaimer (Very Boring, I Know, But It Must Be Done) and an Introduction of Sorts

Welcome to my story! I'm very glad that you showed remote interest at whatever the link in my signature led to. Or perhaps you saw my post for this story on Carl and Pam's Forum. Or maybe I just shamelessly advertised this story to you. However you found it, welcome.

First off, the disclaimer. I do not own any of the following companies/brands/etc. or anything associated with them: Yamaha, Vocaloid, UTAU, AH Software, Crypton Future Media, INTERNET Co., Ltd., Electronic Arts, or Sims 3. I don't own any of the characters; I just took some artistic license in creating them (nor do I take any credit for the songs which were used in forming their personalities). And credit for the house goes to the wonderful judewright of the forum I mentioned before. This story is basically a fan fiction; I only organized the parts and played it out on The Sims 3. And one last thing...I will try to be humorous, but I'm not promising anything. I don't think I'm a terribly funny person.

Next (and last), the introduction/explanation. I was going to publish this story on the forum, but since most people on there probably don't know about Vocaloids, I figured this would be a better idea. Oh, you don't know what the heck a Vocaloid is, you say? Well, allow me to shed some light on the subject. According to the Vocaloid Wiki (yes, there is such a thing!), "Vocaloid is a singing synthesizer application software developed by the Yamaha Corporation." Now why on earth would I be writing a story/playing a game about software? The software was used to create virtual singing voices, which in turn were used to create songs, which were posted on Japanese Youtube, which spawned personalities for the "singers"... And since then, more voices, characters, and Internet memes have been made, resulting in a huge Vocaloid fandom, of which I am a (very small) part. If this is too confusing, here is a better explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocaloid.

The premise of the story? Thirteen of my favorite characters from Vocaloid, all living together under one roof, and the drama that goes on between them. Trust me, there will be screaming matches. And romance. And possibly humor. I will also include some of my favorite songs in the story. In fact, most of the posts/episodes will be mini-dramas based off of individual songs. So it's going to be an interesting ride. Hang in here with me. But the good news? I think I will really finish this one!

So there you have it. The beginning of a crazy story by an even crazier author. Enjoy!
