The writing piece contained in this thread is intended to be part fanfiction and part personal writing project. In an effort to work on and improve my personal writing style and quality, as well as push my creative limits, I've begun a project to work on a rewrite of the third part of the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure series, Stardust Crusaders. The primary difference in this rewrite is the removal of the concept of Stands, Stand Users, and Stand Abilities. Instead, the focus has been shifted back to that of the first and second parts, with usage of the Ripple/Hamon, Vampiric Powers, and bizzare mystical artifacts. This is [b]NOT[/b] a disguised complaint about the existence of Stands, or an attack on the parts after one and two or the fans who prefer those parts. It is simply an extrapolation of common fandom "What If?" discussions, as well as a personal enjoyment of writing fiction.

If you wish to contribute thoughts, criticisms, comments, or general discussion, I'd ask that, for now, you send me a private message here on the forum. If, for some reason, I start getting an overwhelming number of these, I'll likely redirect such conversation to a Discord server or other such live chat service, simply to avoid cluttering up the thread I plan to use for this story.
