Nothing Rhymes with Korea

This is a finished story.

Finally, a new story! And it's all done and completed and put up nice and pretty. I finally got around to doing something with Hanson again, and for a while there, I actually thought I'd lost my talent, but here we are! I actually started this story way back even before I wrote my Anthony and Aya stories (so this was about a year ago), and I wrote maybe five or six chapters before I moved onto my other story. After I finished that whole bunch of stories and the script, I moved back to this story and picked up right where I left off. I finished the remaining thirty chapters (oh my fricken god that's a long story) in about a month and a half, which is amazing. I wrote the story after watching a Behind the Music of 1968, which says something right there.

Mainly in Zac's point of view, the story itself is about the (fictional) Second Korean War and the unpopularity of it. Many of America's kids are getting drafted and killed, and in the middle of it (as always) is the Hanson family. Almost immediately Isaac and Taylor get drafted and shipped off to Korea, leaving Zac behind, only because he's sixteen and he isn't old enough to get drafted. He gets bored and decides to go on tour to relieve his boredom, and almost immediately starts a protest on the war in Korea. Reluctantly and unknowingly, he becomes the nation's spokesperson against the war and a national hero. He becomes more popular than the president, which has good and bad points. Along his journey to get his brothers home, he meets a girl, Madison, who shares his viewpoint and becomes his sidekick as well as his girlfriend.

*DISCLAIMER* I in no way condone any of the goings-on in this story. All the characters are purely fictional, even the Hansons are fictional, and if any of the other characters resemble any real people, it's coincidental. I know after 9/11 this may seem a little eerie, or a little unappropriate, but this story was started, and had a large chunk of it done, before 9/11 and has nothing to do with it. In fact, it's not even mentioned in the story. The President portrayed in the story is NOT Bush, so I'm not meaning to disgrace him. This also has NOTHING to do with the war in Iraq. This was written BEFORE that occured. If you have any questions, my email's at the bottom of the page. Thank you and enjoy the story.
