Reaction from the latest chapter
Can I just say how amused I am about how people are reacting to BE32? Some people are like "OMG, ZackxSeph most evil thing ever you ruined the story for me!"....amazing how many of these people a) never reviewed before and (obviously) b) never looked at our profiles. Kiraya's got her pairings LISTED for Shiva's sake.
(Hm....Shiva. So pretty.)
I can think of one reviewer who figured out homosexuality would probably be included and asked. We told her/him that yes, it would be. I refuse to warn for homosexuality. Life is not going to pop up and say "WARNING. HOMOSEXUAL COUPLE AROUND THE CORNER."
We knew some people would react like that though. The REALLY amusing thing is the "OMG NOT CLOUD/TIFA I BEG YOU!!!!" reviews. Of course it feels a bit weird - Cloud has just decided to TRY it. They aren't going to turn into a couple overnight.
(And for the record - people STILL thinking it might end up Vin/Cloudget a clue stop hoping. It is a platonic, father/son relationship, kay?)
...and I really should compose a Real Life update, shouldn't I? *gets started*

Your real life example of homo warning cracks me up. XDD (I wish we had those for snogging couples, though. Seeing people kissing just embarasses the hell out of me. Like walking in on someone in the bath.)
And begging for no Zack/Seph or Cloud/Tifa? Without even reading where you intend to go with them? Nevermind my own pairing preferences - I don't really care about Sephiroth, but I'm perfectly fine with Zack/Seph or Cloud/Seph (though the latter feels wrong without Zack) when it's written by a writer worth their salt. Just thinking a character's badly handled, or uninteresting, or just plain sucky, is no excuse to write them badly or punt them to the corner of the stage, principally in an all-encompassing AU such as this.
I mean, seriously, Reno pisses me off most of the time, but I don't hate him. Hating characters is just plain silly.

Go figure.
(I know. I see it all the time in high school GAH. I don't need that, thank you!)
I can understand disliking a character. I dislike certain characters (like...Hojo!) but that doesn't mean I'm not going to try and write 'em like they are - or at least try to make them multi-dimensional (as opposed to canon).

I don't remember ever feeling passionate enough about a character to hate it. Love a chara? Sure I do, many of them. Hate? Not really. Mostly, I'm indifferent. Even to bad guys; usually, if I feel they're flat, I think of them as mcguffins and go on; if they're awesomely wicked, I'll hate what they do but love how they're done. Like Hojo - as a person, I think he should die in a garbage processing truck, but as a character, I think he works very well and appreciate his existance...
Honestly, I've no idea if what I typed makes sense XD;; sorry for the confusing ideadump.

Zack was acting like a major ass to Cloud, all he cared about was his relationship with Seph.
This person must have been reading a different fic.
And the whole Tifa part was like ugh! So it seems like Cloud is getting the short end of the stick here
...because he's considering Tifa? You'd think she was the worst thing available in the female cast. Seriously, even for Tifa haters, she couldn't possibly be beneath Scarlet.
...if I wrote a review saying "CLOTI 4EVA!!!!", would it generate review wank?
no subject
I know. It's amazing, I've never seen this super special of BE! I think I'm jealous!
no subject
I will admit though, the Cloud/Tifa thing at the end there kind of made me go "Eh?" for a moment there, precisely because I always had various permutations of pairings between Cloud, Seph and Zack in mind when I read this, and never even considered a possible Cloud/Tifa angle.
no subject
People are making a big deal out of Cloud-Tifa. I don't see how "Hey, that girl is kind of hot/nice, maybe I should go out with her = One True Luv"
no subject
Then again, though, there was at least that one reviewer at the Pit who deliberately misinterpreted that scene...
(You coming back online?)
no subject
I thought Cloud was absolutely adorable when he was weighing the pros and cons of maybe trying something beyond friendship with Tifa. Forgot to mention that.

Seriously.
(Cloud has, to this point, not consciously been attracted to any men. Reno jumped him and he was NOT interested. Whether things stay that way is a mater of the future)
