*grins* Bring on the saccharine-induced tooth rot! Seriously, that was just cute after the last four chapters consisting of slightly-off-their-collective-rocker Seifer and Squall.
And besides, who can resist kiddie-fluff?Angevar (20th February, 2006 @ 12:00 am)
*nods* Nicely done so far, Zell came on a lot more intelligently than most people let him and it worked well. I very much enjoyed his conversation with Squall and I thought you kept everyone nicely in-character.

First things first, before I actually go and read the fic: I think you've got a lot of guts for trying to write a character whose guts you profess hatred of. And I think from what you've said so far that you will do a pretty good job of it (I may change my mind later or I may think you're the best thing since sliced bread, we'll see).
Same goes for Squall and Zell. I actually tend to get a little annoyed when people prtray him as an idiotic, perpetually sugar-high junkie of some sort or another and subscribe to the 'Yes, of course he has brains and can use them' school of thought. Erm, I probably won't have too much problem with your characterization of Quisty because I don't tend to pay too much attention to her.
And I also see Rinoa as a bit of a plot device on legs... with a dress... and a number of Mary-Sue-like qualities...zephyr5 (13th October, 2005 @ 12:00 am)
You made Ultemecia Russian... bizarrely I can see that...I think the cold has gotten to my brain...
Anyway, very, very good fic, highly original (at least ~I~ haven't seen anything like this before); please try and coax your muses back to continue, it would be a shame for it to end there (although I think it could be done with a little tweaking of the end to make it feel like an end...maybe)
Kudos to you!kasugai gummie (28th March, 2005 @ 12:00 am)
I remember reading this in its (ungloriously imcomplete) entirety once upon a, let's say two years ago, time. Then I lost the the fleeting fascination I had with Final Fantasy 8 and the title/link to this piece.
Imagine my rabid surprise (and all other non-related attached reactions) when I found it again while wallowing in a self-imposed Final Fantasy rut. You seriously just don't find good quality like this anymore. I mean, God knows that when in withdrawal, I tend to take initiative and start scribbling down things myself and woe to the world to have to put up with such crap.
Actually took the time to read through your introduction and was delighted at the blatant cynicism found there. ** brilliance. And then after being inspired to be even more nasty to all the plebians I share this insignificant corner of the world with, I continued on to the next ten chapters.
Few things right off the bat: You have a ** PLOT and working, game-related, philosophically sound theories. I should worship your shoelaces but whether you have any bars me from doing so. Not that I make it a habit of worshipping pseudo-articles of clothing in the first place.
Then the UST, deep introspective character stuff you managed to pull out of Seifer's ** ran me over like a runaway semi on the German autoban, and I was amazed like "woah."
The character interaction was very fun. Seemed like it would be fun to write. But Ultimecia takes the cake. God, the way you just write her speech patterns is LOVE. I was particularly amused when you broke out in the broken, grammatically-incorrect form for her (and made her refer to ALGORITHMS holy **). And when I finally figured out that a Swedish accent would work best for her, I laughed like a ** loon.
After trying it out by reading certain lines out loud. (Referring to a comatose Rinoa in a central European accent kept me amused for a good quarter hour, actually.)
As for Rinoa... well your Rinoa induced mixed feelings in me. Frankly I find her useless, pointless, and a rather unnecessary. You gave her a semi-functional brain, and I hate to say it, but I like your Rinoa. Outright bashing is never in good taste, and the fact that all of your takes on the characters are just the tiniest bit ** up, some more than others, raises you to the top tier of fandom writing.
It saddens me to see that this piece's future continuance is practically nill, but still want to give you heads up that you had something really good going on here. Should you ever, in the flying pigs of a chance, pick it up again, I'm going to send you a fruit basket. Or something along those lines that shows undying gratitude.sparklehunter (23rd March, 2005 @ 12:00 am)
Oh. My. God.
I started snickering during the author's notes, from your liberal use of sarcasm, and had managed to contain myself during the 5 second wait for the page to load. It took all of . . . another 5 seconds? . . . to start snickering again. So far, i love your characterizations. i was going to wait till i had finished to inform you, but -- this is awesome. good job, and i hope to the mighty gods of character development that you can continue this.Neechi (1st August, 2004 @ 12:00 am)
Oo Slightly confusing... but I've been awake too long. So I'll just read it again.
Later.
Have fun.
