People who review just to say "you made a mistake at X" annoy me. At least sugar coat it with "hey, I've been reading this story for 28 chapters and it's pretty good but you did X"

ALSO it helps if you double check your facts about X, particularly if it's say, canon material not that hard to find out.

Cloud's younger than Tifa by a couple of years indeed. HELLO. GAME MANUAL HERE SAYS OTHERWISE. Idiot.

Good to hear! Anything in particular you want to mention? Your favorite things for an AU?

Oh, some of both. And that's a good cliff hanger, compared to some....

Hey, I don't mind long comments! ^.^

What kind of things can I mention? Well, I've read a lot of AUs (courtesy of ff.net trends), so I know well what I like. Stronger characters, raised by someone else, a small change has bigger consequences, time travel, foreshadowing, changing the past to effect the future, characters that are IC but actually seem real (not the ohmygodsoperfect kind-of Mary-Sues mascaraing under familiar names), OC characters that actually fit... I can go on and on and on.

Yay, good cliff hanger! I wasn't quite sure if you were trying for that or not... Yeah, compared to some. Like when a character dies/blacks out and then it says -End of Chapter- or -To Be Continued...- makes me want to scream or throttle the author. Sometimes it's a good kind of violence that comes to mind, but most of the time, well... I can understand --I'm an author myself-- but sometimes...

Long comments are cool. You talk about stuff in them.

Nice chatting again, Bard Linn-san.

I just wanted to show off my new icon. ^^
Nothing, really.
Anyone know if you can edit comments and how?
Thanks.
