Writing Team Note:

This story is based on a popularity contest held on GameFAQs annually pitting 64 characters against each other in a tournament. Many fan fictions have arisen from this contest, making the tournament into a tournament of real battles.

It should be noted that this year, the contest is held somewhat differently, evicting its three previous winners, Cloud, Link, and Sephiroth, and holding the 64 character tournament without them, with the winner of that placed into a Final Four bracket with the aforementioned winners. Hence, this fan fiction, begun by Daredevil3181, is based heavily around these three characters and their ambitions, and the lies and deception that go on over the course of the tournament.

This contest will go on for the next two months, at least, ending in mid to late September. This fan fiction will obviously be based on the results of each battle, so expect this story to go on for about two to three months, as we will hopefully keep up with the contest results as they happen.

There are several writers that are working on this fan fiction, and they will be recognized as each chapter is posted.

The complete list of writers as follows

Daredevil3181

Alpha Anomaly

Riceball

Opiate109

sephsblade

IAStarDragon

Brett with Atreyu --Guest writer--

Zen of Thunder --Guest writer--

Furious J --Guest writer--

Alanna82 --Guest writer--

More guest writers may come along, if so, they'll be posted here, but the first six listed are pretty much the finalized core team.

One more thing of note, and of apology, is that many of the fics that are first posted on GameFAQs are carried over to this site strangely, such as the fact that this site does not accept asterisks, which we use as our page breaks, and numerous banned words on GameFAQs have to be asterisked out, so if there are many nonsensical jumps in pages, or words that simply read 'ed' where a swear word should be, we apologize and are working on making a smoother transition from this point forward as well as correcting all past mistakes.

Thanks for reading Grand Dream.
