Butterfly Effect: Author's Notes: Chapter 28
Bard Linn: Hello all, and welcome to BE 28.
Kiraya: Which we're very, very, very sorry for being so late.
Kiraya: That was entirely my fault.
Bard Linn: *nod nod - * ....err.....
Bard Linn: Well, I didn't use the beating stick enough.
Bard Linn: And have been taking a lot of your time playing FFVII again together.
Kiraya: True.
Bard Linn: Anyway, this is a very fun chapter for many reasons.
Bard Linn: Not the least being "Wright" for a last name. XD
Bard Linn: And yes, that WAS intentional.
Bard Linn: Anyway, the first part with the Turks is kind of to introduce How Things Are in the Turks and to poke at Tseng a bit, seeing as WE all know that Vinny isn't dead.
Kiraya: *rather liked that scene*
Bard Linn: And then we have the Arthur thing.
Bard Linn: Believe it or not, this is entirely why Arthur first came in. *ducks*
Bard Linn: And I don't want to hear it is completely unrealistic that it would take Cloud that long to figure out same-sex pairings - I KNOW people who are that bad.
Kiraya: Sometimes people can take obliviousness to stupendous degrees, indeed.
Bard Linn: Not all, but some.
Bard Linn: And yes, Cloud is now trying to figure out the question a good number of us are asking: Are Seph and Zack a couple? *snicker*
Kiraya: ......... *can think of any number of things to say about that, but... well*
Bard Linn: *snickers again, for completely different reasons*
Bard Linn: Honestly, my favorite scene in here is the one with Reno and Zack. Kiraya did a stupendous job, didn't she?
Kiraya: You wrote it to begin with.
Kiraya: I just tweaked it a little.
Bard Linn: A lot.
Bard Linn: I love some of Reno's lines. Especially, what was it? "thou shalt not sex up thy students’"
Bard Linn: *bows before Kiraya's wit*
Kiraya: Oh, stop that -- you're making me blush. :P
Bard Linn: ....So?
Bard Linn: I'm supposed to apologize for this?
Kiraya: ......well...
Bard Linn: That's what I thought.
Kiraya: This story still would never have gone anywhere without you, though.
Bard Linn: Nor would it without you. But enough patting our backs....we have the Rocket Town Scenes.
Bard Linn: Those blasted Rocket Town Scenes.
Kiraya: They did give us a little trouble there, didn't they...?
Bard Linn: How many rewrites?
Bard Linn: Three or four?
Kiraya: Four, I think.
Bard Linn: Plus proofings.
Bard Linn: Aie, it was a mess. We kept oscillating between writing everything and questioning if it was too much away from the main focus.
Kiraya: Which it would've been if it were a stand-alone chapter as we first planned...
Bard Linn: But really, just writing about Cloud, Shera and Cid would have invented even MORE OCs and...ick.
Bard Linn: It was a mess. It doesn't help I still lack a Cid muse.
Kiraya: Mine comes and goes.
Kiraya: And for that writing, he definitely was gone.
Bard Linn: Like, to the stars.
Bard Linn: Oh, and in case anyone was wondering.....the ShinRa techs did find the error Shera noticed years ago during the first launch and fixed it.
Bard Linn: They just never told her, of course.
Kiraya: Or Cid, since he wasn't supposed to be going in the first place.
Bard Linn: Of course.
Bard Linn: And I Totally Do Not Apologize for the cliff hanger.
Kiraya: It was a good cliffhanger.
Kiraya: Next chapter will be fun. <3
Bard Linn: Plot ahead!
Bard Linn: Lots of it.
Kiraya: Finally. >..>
Bard Linn: Eh, it comes and goes.
Kiraya: Exposition is important too! *waves banner*
Bard Linn: And relationship building.
Kiraya: *nodnodnod*
Bard Linn: But I think we're done. *yawn* I'm still recovering from my Atlanta trip. XD
Kiraya: And having an interview again right after didn't help, probably.
Bard Linn: Eh, it was a ten minute interview. The drive was the worst part of it.
Bard Linn: BUT! I have a job for September and that's what matters.
Kiraya: Yup! ^..^
Bard Linn: So I think we'll say good night. No promises when the next chapter will come, but we hope it will be sometime in July.
Kiraya: Perhaps a little later than the second week--
Bard Linn: Yeah, probably.
Kiraya: ...well, not the third week, since we'll be away, but...
Bard Linn: OTAKON!!! *SQUEE*
Bard Linn: Ahem. >.> <.<
Bard Linn: We'll get it up eventually.
Kiraya: Of course!
Bard Linn: Until then, enjoy your summer!
