On July 9th, at 11:59pm, Suzaku Kururugi was fatally trampled in a freak wildelope stampede (a new crossbreed of antelopes and wildebeasts) and died.
Hence the "fatally".
...
The end!
OoO-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-OoO
...I didn't warn for character death.
Yes. I'm sure that's what your readers are going to focus on.
They might! I did promise to warn for triggers...
I believe you also promised them sex.
That wasn't a promise so much as an understanding. Except for some readers...
Exactly.
Hey, who are you anyways? How did you get in here? Where am I?
I'm evil-elarielf.
I though I was evil-elarielf.
No, you're just elarielf. Being evil.
I see. Nice goatee. Are you from another dimension? Are we going to have cross-dimensional sex?
...you really like the goatee, don't you?
It's spiffy.
Thank you. Now don't you feel better about killing Suzaku off?
Crap. Almost forgot about that. Well... really, if you look back, it was foreshadowed pretty early on.
No it wasn't.
No. It wasn't. But it could have been.
...
Look, Suzaku started out this story as a ten-year-old and now I have to write a sex scene? He's a kid!
He's almost the same age as he was in canon.
...he's a kid then too.
Get over yourself. Besides, you've already written the next chapter. You've already written the next twenty chapters.
They're short chapters! Except for some of them. Alright, fine. But in return, I demand one more angsty arc.
Hey, I'm fine with killing Suzaku off. Evil-elarielf, remember?
I'm not talking to you. Or your sexy goatee.
Nufufu...
Out of random curiosity, is this against FFN's TOS or Guidelines?
Lemme check. "Entries not allowed: Non-stories: lists, bloopers, polls, previews, challenges, author notes, and or two : comments inserted in between the flow of a copied with non-historical and non-fictional characters: actors, musicians, and form of interactive entry: choose your adventure, second person/you based, Q&As, and /script format and keyboard dialogue based entries." Yup! Seems against both 1 and 6, although you've written dialogue-based entries before shamelessly.
That was an experiment.
This whole fic was an experiment. Or several, one after another, unending as your attention span wandered from one idea to the next.
...yup! Also, I was trying to get more reviews than "Dauntless".
How'd that go for you?
TOTAL FAILURE! \o/
D'you think that might have something to do with "Dauntless" being well-written, well-structured and not a rambly series of things that struck you as a good idea at 4am?
Hey, that's what time it is now!
...that actually explains a lot.
In any case, this isn't just an author's note, there was some fic. Suzaku died, remember?
I think everyone remembered that.
Just checking! Sooo... what you're saying is I should fess up to this being a troll chapter and replace it Monday morning, first thing.
With sex.
We'll see.
OoO-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-OoO
Just messing with you. The real chapter 157 is up over at Snapshots. Honestly, I was surprised at how few people were upset with me over this. :p
(PS: Coffee after 10pm when you're caffeine-sensitive is still a bad idea.)
