*blushes* Wow, you really like it that much? I mean, I know I'm better than Derrida - then again, an unanethsetized root canal is better than Derrida - but I had no idea you would find so much to like with it. ^^ I'm so glad you enjoyed the little details like King Endymion's closet... a lot of those little things end up getting written on the fly for me, so I always imagine them kind of sucking. XD

Haha, the 8th grade dance... well, to be honest, it was supposed to START that awkward, but then get very... comfortable as they got into it (hence the problem ;-)). Originally I was also going to have Hotaru rest her head on his chest, but I think that would have been going a bit too far for both of them. Again, the main problem was trying to push them to the edge where they're feeling attraction for each other but don't KNOW it's attraction yet. I also didn't want them to kiss because of the plot you've got set up for it (in my head, I was thinking that Hotaru didn't actually realize Sephiroth was moving in to kiss her; if she did, that might confuse that awesome scene of yours later, and I wouldn't want that!) Funnily enough, I almost ended the entire fic after the part where Sephiroth first asks her to dance, but I'm glad you liked the rest of it. ^^

I find it awesome that everyone that writes for this pairing seems to be on the same wavelength; I found vol_jin and belladonna12 also picked up on similar aspects of the relationship, albeit in different ways. To me, that just illustrates how GOOD the pairing itself is, that everyone can basically look at it and pull the same things away from it (although there are plenty of different interpretations too... I've sometimes been tempted to do a oneshot smutfic that examines Sephiroth tempting Hotaru into evil by preying on her loneliness and her need for love). It's great having a psychic fanfic link! ^_^

I can't wait to see what you come up with next! In the meantime, I actually think I'm going to start writing the next fic tonight instead of WoW (shock and horrors!) Of course, don't know when it will be FINISHED. ;-) The new fic idea isn't set in your world specifically, it could really be set in any of the "verses" that we've all set up... take that as you will. ;-) Oh, and it will be smutty. Very very smutty. ^_^
