Been kinda bored lately... so I started writing an idea for a potential Kancolle fanfic. Essentially, its set in an altenate history, where the Abyssal Fleet invades the Pacific Ocean sometime in 1944, forcing the Japanese and US to ally with each other to combat the new threat. However, the European Theatre continues on relatively unchanged, while in Asia and the Pacific, the new alliance between the former enemies has very serious complications. Japan makes several necessary withdrawals from its land grabs in China allowing the Communists and the Nationalists to return to their civil war earlier than our timeline. The American alliance with Japan also causes friction with the British, who are not directly affected by the Abyssal Fleet and want to continue the war in order to reclaim much of their lost territory in Asia.

^^^ All that is background and setting. I'll reference it from time to time, but it's not actually what I'll be focusing on in my story. I'll be basing my story far more on my own recollection of my playing of KanColle (embellished for more effective story telling at times :P).

Now for the actual plot of the story. Basically, despite America and Japan teaming up to fight the Abyssal Fleet, both sides withhold information and certain assets from the other. America, beyond providing massive quantities of supplies to Japan, does little to assist them whenever the Abyssals attack. The Japanese, despite providing tactics for the USN on how to properly combat the Abyssal ships, keep the technology and know-how on how to build... our very own ship girls. Both sides however know very clearly that the other is keeping secrets and so in order to maintain healthy relations, the IJN reluctantly allows admirals from the US to take command of some of their Kanmusu fleets. The main character, who is assigned to Paramushir, is merely one of a few American commanders who were selected for this joint program.

I'm... making this sound a lot more boring than it seems, but as I'm still writing the first chapter I kind of want thoughts on this idea.
