Notes (might contain spoilers for the story...but who the fuck cares?):

1/29/03:

Part 1 of the Spira chapter up, and god, was it a bitch to write. I am still not completely happy, but knowing me I never will. Spira itself will most likely consist of three parts and one Interlude, which I am working on right now. Yep, ya hear right, Tidus/Riku fluff coming up next. At least I hope I am going to stick with the fluff I have planned out. Somehow everything I wrote lately turned into angst...wonder why.

Not much else to say. Just, thanks for the reviews.

Oh, and Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy and every character contained within those games is not mine. Don't sue.

For once I am bothering with notes, mostly because my beta reader complaint that chapter one does not make much sense.

...maybe it aren't so much notes, maybe more of a rant?

Well, it isn't supposed to. Not at the moment anyway.

The questions in it will be answered within time. I never liked it when in the first chapter they cram all the information down your throat, swallow or die, and the rest of the story is nothing more than a time filler for whatever the author wanted to write in the first place. Mostly romance...yuck.

Not that I have anything against it, but I am getting sick of all that disguised pwp. They do as if they have a storyline, but in the end it is just a farce for the getting together of a couple and ends in a lot of mush. And I am left wondering what happened to the plot while said couple faces in a mind boggling amount of chapters the problems of being together. If I am lucky I might find the rushed end of whatever tried to pass as plot in the last chapter.

Um, sorry, got distracted, back to the crap which I try to pass off writing. To make it short, what makes no sense now, will make sense later...at least I hope so. So don't come asking "Where is Mickey? He was in Kingdom Hearts too!" and "What are they talking about? What does he know now?", okay? Things will reveal themselves slowly. I found it unrealistic to let Riku babble about what he learned in his mind. He does not have to explain the whole shebang to himself. Would be strange.

Also, as for couplings in this fic. There is going to be one, if not more. BUT only in the interludes that I will sometimes add. If you like mush and shounen-ai read those and spare yourself the work of reading through the whole story, saves you a lot of time. Aside from the interludes there will be no shounen-ai and nearly no romance. So it is fairly save for all audiences.

And NO, it will not be a Riku/Sora couple. As cute as the two are, I am getting sick of them. There are so many other possibilities. And I am not talking about Squall/Sora here which seems to get popular lately. Or Ansem/Riku ... though, I have nothing against that pairing...yummy, but as things stand currently that might be considered masturbation O.o;.

Anyway, I think I am writing the first Tidus/Riku ...at least the first I have seen.

I knew I shouldn't have played KH right after FFX....

Well, notes get updated as I go along with the chapters, until later than.

Disclaimers: KH not mine, nor is anything related to Final Fantasy.
