Butterfly Effect: Author's Notes: Chapter 29

[bard_linn]

Bard Linn: Hello, all. And here is BE29!

Kiraya: A lot has happened this chapter -- we're finally getting some plot stuff in.

Bard Linn: Not to mention action sequence. >.> *hates writing Action*

Kiraya: *pats* It's a good thing we don't have to write them too often, then.

Bard Linn: Though coming up with the Chimera was kind of fun.

Kiraya: Bard Linn's lovely work there, folks.

Bard Linn: *blush*

Bard Linn: Actually, I really like how this chapter came out, over all.

Bard Linn: Lots of fun with the Turks and we got to play some with Rufus.

Kiraya: He promises to be a tricky character... but hopefully we've done him some justice here.

Bard Linn: I base him off of Artemis Fowl in my head.

Bard Linn: First book Artemis Fowl, anyway.

Kiraya: ...I'll have to read those someday.

Bard Linn: *skims chapter* It's kind of funny how much of the /little/ things in this chapter makes me happy. A bit of dialogue here, a mechanic thing there....

Bard Linn: And I think my brain is fizzing out. *pokes it*

Bard Linn: So, um, yeaaaah, unless you can think of anything, I think that's it for the chapter.

Kiraya: ...Um... not really.

Kiraya: I never know what to say for these things. >..>

Bard Linn: Then we'll see you when we see you, hopefully sometime in August with the next chapter.

Kiraya: Though, um, between me going on vacation and Bard Linn doing lesson plans (she starts teaching in September; wish her luck!), it might be a little late again...

Bard Linn: Well, we'll try to update next month, at least.

Kiraya: Yup!

*is gleeing over the fact someone else thought about the childbirth ratio*

Whee, shiny, shiny chapter. I love Vincent popping up, and Reno's reaction to finding out who Cloud had been studying under. Not to mention Rufus is awesome. *grins*

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

We had notes for that yeaaaars ago.

Glad to know you're still enjoying. ^.^

*glees* Oh Reno, you dork you. "You let VALENTINE'S APPRENTICE get away?!?" *chortles* Tseng isn't happy, though, I'm sure. Go Cloud go!

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Reno is such a dork. XD And fun to write as such!

This chapter is one of my favorites, if not THE favorite so far. The lab invasion, the new head of the Science Department, REEVE!, Rufus kicking total ass, the changes, Vinnie being openly set on board, the poison (really creative there; brought a taste of mystery novel and I have a weak spot for them), and though I might have commented on this before - using the classic spell naming instead of the horrible Spell1, Spell2 and Spell3 used in FFVII.

And how not even gutter!mind Reno could sexuallize Cloud and Vinnie's relationship - 'cuz that would have been totally creepy.

[elanor-pam.livejournal.com]

I also find interesting the changes brought to male and female maturation age. Wonder if it's supposed to explain why Cloud was short and scrawny at 14 when Tifa was tall and growing boobies at 13?

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

We <3 Reeve.

I'm like "and such and such happens - and some posion with this type of affects". Luckily, Kir fixed it up so it wasn't awful anymore.

That's Kiraya's doing. I still use the numbers in writing a lot of times, probably since I'm still playing the US version.

Writing this makes me go "EEEEW" to just about any CloudxVin thing thses days. XD

And quite possible! ^.^

Errm... I'm stuck for words on how good this is, so I'll let Jack *points to icon* say it for me. :)

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Yay for icons!

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

If a picture can say a thousand words then an icon is good when you're stuck for them. ;)

[alesca-munroe.livejournal.com]

^~^ I kinda feel bad for Tseng. He didn't much like Vincent when Veld talked about him, and now it looks like the Turks will be seeing more of him now.

Many, many kudos on the chapter.

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Whether he likes it or not, it seems...>D

Thanks!

So I have an odd question for you. Since Zack's last name has been revealed in Crisis Core, are you going to go back and change your Zack's last name to Fair, or keep Sinclair? I honestly don't care because I have SO MUCH LOVE for your Zack, but I was curious.

Also, I loved Reno. And now have a really bizarre picture in my head of he and Cloud as partners. All in all, I enjoyed this chapter so much.

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

That icon ROCKS.

Our unoffical reasoning for that is Zack hates his parental last name of 'Fair' and got it changed as soon as he possibly could to his mother's maiden name. While it probably won't come up in BE, in some of our 'verses Cloud finds out about it and uses it to torment him mercilessly - much the way he uses "Zackary" in here.

Kind of disturbing, isn't it? Alas, all of my Cloud muses are so SOLDIERish I'll probably never write it - but it is an interesting picture!

[pyrotechnik.livejournal.com]

*grins* I gacked it from traveling_storm with her permission. Feel free to snag if you want it! I like the reasoning. :D And such a Zack thing to do.

[wayya.livejournal.com]

Awesome chapter! What can I say, I love action and monsters and chimeras and SOLDIERs+Turks acting together :3

As soon as he appears, Rufus is already charismatic and scheming, that's great XD Eheh, Artemis Fowl XD *fangirls* Though now I worry, because I wonder if Vincent didn't made a mistake by appearing before Rufus and the Turks... Now that they know he's still alive, the Shinra might try to use him one way or another. Everybody thinking you're dead is a great advantage upon your (potential) adversaries... (Rufus makes me paranoid.) Anyway, keep up the good work :)

Also: Matheson = OC of win. The talk with Reeve~ ♥

Very fun to read. A bit of a pain at times to WRITE, but I really do like this chapter.

I'm glad you like Rufus! He's a hard character to write because he really ISN'T 'good' before AC at all, so we have to keep going "why is he doing x? What does he get out of y?"

Well, at least now he can come out of the bat cave Sephiroth's quarters a little more often.

Yay! We like it that people like our OCs. :)
