Butterfly Effect: Author's Notes: Chapter 34

[bard_linn]

Bard Linn: Hello all! We hope you are enjoying the summer time. And those of you in flooded areas or fires or some other natural disaster - we hope things get better for you! The weather has been so crazy lately.

Kiraya: Everything's been crazy lately.

Bard Linn: Yup.

Bard Linn: Anyway, you are seeing a greatly overhauled version of this chapter.

Kiraya: Which is why it's been so long since we've posted.

Kiraya: But hey, we got about a whole additional chapter of content out of this massive multi-part revision, so. :)

Bard Linn: Yeah. And a lot of the stuff wasn't in the original plans at ALL and some of it is a bit awkward for the characters (Tifa did not WANT to have that conversation. Cloud wasn't so happy about it either but he wants to protect his friends.)

Kiraya: That's one of the coolest things about doing this, though.

Kiraya: Working on stuff and having new stuff crop up to be woven in all the time...

Bard Linn: Yeah - and the characters have to have the awkward conversations too, not just the happy ones.

Kiraya: But it's times like this revision that I'm glad we work several chapters ahead of posting.

Kiraya: Makes smoothing out the flow of things a lot easier.

Bard Linn: Yup.

Bard Linn: So, besides the whole TON of relationship stuff - YAY DESTRUCTION!!!!

Bard Linn: REACTOR GO BOOM!

Bard Linn: My inner love of fictional destruction has been encouraged by all the anime I've been watching.

Kiraya: o..O

Kiraya: >...>

Kiraya: Hooray for Avalanche showing up finally!

Bard Linn: They haven't really shown up YET.

Kiraya: They're waiting in the wings, at least.

Bard Linn: True. Still...the beginning of the board scene is my favoritest thing this chapter. I love it. <3

Bard Linn: I am very easily amused, sadly.

Kiraya: Yes, but we love you anyway.

Bard Linn: I should hope so!

Bard Linn: Anyway, as far as future story goes, the muses are actually speaking to us/me about the next to-be-written chapter, though that will be somewhat delayed by the fact we're making three costumes for Otakon

Kiraya: *still feels useless in that endeavor*

Bard Linn: Well, I'm going to to have to detach your arms so we can make your gloves.

Kiraya: Oh dear.

Kiraya: But how will I type, then?

Bard Linn: Automail.

Kiraya: But I hear that hurts a lot going on, and I HATE pain. ;_;

Bard Linn: We, along with my sister, are going to be Urd, Belldandy and Skuld for the con, so if anyone is coming and sees us, make sure you say 'hi!'

Bard Linn: Anyway, I don't think we have anything terribly important to say, other than THANK YOU for all the helpful feed back on some of the relationship issues - you'll be seeing fruit for them in the next few chapters.

Kiraya: Your helpful feedback is always awesome to read. :)

Kiraya: Until next time, then -- enjoy your summer!

Bard Linn: Indeed!

Bard Linn: *dives back into sewing*
