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*

Aw, how embarrassing for Tifa and Cloud.... but it's not like it's a needless talk. I love Lora by the way. And Scott and Paul while I'm at it. You have such lovable OCs.

Nice going with Cloud disarming Rogers with the lights out.

So, I'm guessing we get to meet AVALANCHE next? ^_^ Awesome and win, I can't wait for the next chapter

I love our OCs too. I never liked writing them until this fic, and now I love layering them up. We actually have notes on OCs too.

Next chapter is fuuuuuuuuuun. When we get there. Which will probably be after sewing.....

Oh? Will you be posting the notes? :D

Sweet! Good luck with the sewing, then.
