Bard Linn: Hello, everyone! I don't think we're going to make the goal of finishing by the end of the year. ^^;;
Kiraya: That's entirely my fault.
Kiraya: I think this particular chapter went through 4 or 5 edits instead of the usual 2...
Bard Linn: But you did amazing things with it!
Kiraya: You flatter me, as usual :P
Bard Linn: Seriously, all the culture style stuff in here? ALL HER.
Bard Linn: DON'T BELIEVE HER, SHE'S AWESOME.
Kiraya: You're making me bluuuuuuuush.
Bard Linn: It's also true.
Bard Linn: Anyway, a lot of your guessed where we were going with the Yuffie + Rufus scenes. I hope you found it still interesting to see it play out.
Bard Linn: ...I wish you would talk about some of the stuff with language and things you were thinking about when you wrote a lot of this. *pokes*
Kiraya: Sorry, distracted by coding.
Kiraya: Um... I kind of wanted to go for a Sino-Japanese hybrid sort of thing here instead of the straight-up Japanese style thing that's more common.
Kiraya: Thus the mix of names.
Kiraya: Let's see, what else... some of the independence stuff was influenced by Code Geass, a little, as my Kallenmuse was grumbling that Yuffie was pulling a Suzaku and working with the Enemy without making clear any bad feelings about it?
Kiraya: I also tried to add in more stuff to make clear an awareness of the uncomfortable parts of colonialism...
Kiraya: I hope it came out okay.
Bard Linn: I think it came out wonderfully.
Bard Linn: A lot better than what we started with. *cough*
Kiraya: Pshaw.
Kiraya: I just overstepped my role as the overglorified beta a bit more than usual this time, that's all.
Kiraya: If it weren't for you none of this would ever have gotten anywhere.
Bard Linn: Yes well, it's helpful to have you untangle my messes.
Bard Linn: Also, it'll be interesting to hear what you guys think about Turk!Tifa.
Bard Linn: It won't play a huge part in the (tiny) remaining bit of the story line, but I'd love to know. ^.^
Bard Linn: And yeah, I think we'll end this here so we actually get this posted tonight?
Kiraya: Yeah, let's.
Kiraya: The next chapter will be soon, though, promise!
Bard Linn: Thank you all for your continuing support and we hope you'll see us through to the end!
Kiraya: Until next time!
