About:
Just below are the contents of a little story I started about five years ago, back when I had been role-playing #18 on AOL for about a year or so. At one point I decided to write up her story as a fan fiction, which was the popular thing to do at the time. So I took advantage of my free AOL homepage and made Cyborg Memoirs, the very first incarnation. It's purpose was to host my fanfic. But I never really got around to writing it, so I turned it into a general writing site of mine. Eventually, I moved onto Geocities, and finally, bought my own domain and called it cyborgmemoirs.com, naturally. From time to time I would try writing Cyborg Memoirs over, but would always get stuck after the first few chapters. Now, Cyborg Memoirs the website is my writing site and has little to do with the fanfic that started it all...but Cyborg Memoirs the story is beginning anew once again. And this time, there will be no stopping.

The Story (for non-Dragonball fans):
Dragonball is, if you don't know by now, a hugely popular anime and manga series, spawned from Japan out of the mind of Akira Toriyama. The two main characters of this story started out as villans in the original series, a pair of teenaged, killer cyborg twins that eventually turned good. This story focuses on an alternate setting, or a "what-if," if you will.

The Story (FOR Dragonball fans):
Dragonball Z, alternate universe, loosely based off several years worth of role-playing. The story focuses on cyborg #18, and her history as she makes it in a strange new world. Aside from #17 and #18, the usual cast of characters do not and will not ever appear in this story. That means no Trunks or Vegeta. No Bulma. No Krillin. This is less like Dragonball and more like a story about two cyborgs getting by in a saiyan-infested world.

Ratings & Warnings:
The content of this story is intended for mature audiences, fifteen and up. Cussing and (unintentional) innuendo abound. Stranger things will develop, I garuntee.

Well, this proves that I am the worst and most neglectful writer in the universe. HOWEVER, chapter four is finally up, and five is already half done. Hopefully, since my living situation has changed since last update, I'll be writing a lot more.

Added the third chapter of Cyborg Memoirs and added a new term to the terms guide. Also redid the layout (which I do just about every week it seems) and edited the first two chapters a teensy bit. Nothing substantial. Please read the new chapter here and review it over at fanfiction.net!
