[Vocaloid Fanfiction/Survey] Research for a new fanfiction idea
Now that Clandestine is pretty much finished (I'm in the editing stage for the third part right now), I've already started work on more fanfictions. I have Polar Butterflies (my extended piece I've been working on slowly since February), a Kagamine origin story, a story based on the origins of Rin's song "MyList Dame-!", and now I have to rewrite "Heartbeat Clocktower" because I finally know what the story's actually about (however, I might share my original rendition here). The D.N. Angel fics are way on the back burner, and Halcyon…I might have completely lost interest in it… D: I don't even know if I want to keep writing in the Hetalia fandom…
So yeah, those damn vocal androids eat my life.
However, I want to start writing a story loosely based on Peperon-P's "Guilty Verse" with vocals by Hiyama Kiyoteru. According to Peperon's comments as translated by ReicheruCharin on YouTube:
From releasing grief and compassion, that which is previously awaited may be joy or hopelessness ---
The flavour of the song is rock, with the theme being "truth".
It is said that the teacher holds on to the concealed precious stone till the end.
Based on how I view the PV, Hiyama-sensei appears as a priestly character that is fighting in a losing battle with two sides of himself, a la Jekyll and Hyde. The "evil" side is involved with some unholy business (perhaps represented as witchcraft?), and the "good" side is defeated in the end.
The story that I have planned so far is that the Vocaloids live at a private Catholic boarding school in Japan. The main character is actually Miki, a fifteen-year-old orphan who's a ward of the church that the school is connected to. She's known Father Hiyama for ten years now, when he was her present age. Despite his young age, he's always been like an actual father to her, even so much that he informally adopted her and granted her use of his family name. Hiyama is a well-respected priest, and many of the students and other members of the clergy look up to him. When a series of crimes begin to occur, however, many people began to flock to him for support.
The story will be rated M/R because there is some imposition of religious ideologies upon students the students (which might offend close-minded readers) and mildly graphic content from the crimes, but nothing screamingly explicit that would boost the rating more than that.
Here's where the survey fits in. I've only attended poor public schools my whole life, and my university is a state-run one. I have no idea how private schools, especially religious schools, work. I would like watchers to give their answers if they fit into the category of having attended or are presently at a religious school. If you personally haven't attended one, but have a friend that has, you are more than free to have them answer and relay their answers to me. Also, if you would like me to screen your comments, I can and will if you wish me to.
(Note: I write in the past tense out of reflex because I'm no longer in high school. If you are presently enrolled in one, please ignore my choice of tense.)
1. Was your school same-sex or co-ed? What grade levels did it cover?
2. In my initial plan for this story, junior and high schools share a building due to low enrollment numbers. Would this be considered strange? I know that there is at least one public school in my area that does this, but what about private?
3. What about teachers? Were any teachers part of the clergy? And did any not fit into that category? Estimate percentages if you can.
4. Are there any religious services that occur during the school day? How often? Where did they occur? Were there any that happened in a church if they didn't occur there already?
5. Were school uniforms required? Could any modifications be made to the uniform (such as: if there's a blazer, you don't have to wear it or you can substitute for a sweater), and were there any rules for these modifications?
6. Scandals: were there any scandals that occurred? If so, what was it? How much attention did it receive? (Was it kept between students or did it receive news coverage?)
7. Orphans: did your church or the school church give support for orphans? (If you don't know this one, that's fine. I can do my own research on this.)
