INTERMISSION
I'm taking a break from writing. Visit my LJ account (linsama) if you wanna see why.
Thus, I'm taking the opportunity to clear some things up.
NUMBER ONE: This story is NOT yaoi. Yaoi, by definition, is sex between two men. It's also not shounen-ai (clean male-male love) or slash (either definition depending on context). Lil's like for Raoul is totally one-sided. You'll see why later.
NUMBER TWO: Raoul is a boy. A BOY. NOT A GIRL. Someone said something about my fic and used the female pronoun to describe Raoul.
NUMBER THREE: I'm a girl. Not a guy. Raoul is my character in xRO, but he does NOT represent me in ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. His actions aren't exactly the same actions I'd take and his opinions are usually not mine. If he says something offensive, it's coming from his mouth, not mine.
NUMBER FOUR: This fic is totally based off of actual events. I took a few liberties with character personalities (and Chrow's name was changed to keep the identity of his player unknown) and Korva and Ethros didn't actually die. Korva was my old character that I deleted, and Ethros was Chris's old character before he made Lilliandrei. This is, for the most part, a true log of my adventures. I even post periodical screenshots of my journeys to prove it. They'll all be on my LJ.
NUMBER FIVE: I don't like whistling or snapping, so no one in the story will do that, regardless of actual events. No, this isn't important. I just wanted to let you know.
NUMBER SIX: Yes, this fic was named after the song "Speed of Sound" by Coldplay. However, it is NOT a songfic.
I hope that answered some questions.
