TWEWY part 2
Nyahahaha~ I finished it yesterday. Today. Very early today I finished it.
I've been babysitting a cat so I haven't had much else to do but to play the game, and since I'm getting KH3D at the end of the month I figured I should finish it asap.
Anyhooo, it was really good. The side-missions were a bit bland, but I liked the story overall, I loved the ( Read more... )

Hmm, well...it's coming? ^^' I'm still having trouble with that bit at Saix's workplace, mainly due to dumb incidental things, but lately I've been writing some other scenes again. I sent in the rough draft of it to the KH Big Bang mod yesterday morning. The phone line was on the fritz here all day on the 27th, so I wasn't able to post to the artist claims thread with my fic in time. :[
I think I've finally found the right beta reader, though! One who's familiar with both KH and TWEWY, something that's been surprisingly hard to find among FF.net's beta readers. :/ I'll be sending her a message today to see if she'll be interested in being the beta reader for my fic.
I've gotta ask: What do you think of my inclusion of Joshua in this story now? ;)
Oh, and I've gotta say, your story's looking great so far! ^_^ I can't wait to read it. (Your snippet was better than mine, for sure. ^^;) The cookie-loving Saix amuses me. xD

Wah, so it's too late to post your summary to the artist claim thread now? The mod(s) are quite flexible with deadlines in this challenge so maybe you could post it anyway?
Awesome! I hope it all works out :D
It makes perfect sense! XD He's going to be one powerful fairy, that's for sure. I feel really sorry for Saïx if your Joshua is as ruthless as canon Joshua is. Will he make appearances throughout the story, or...? *_*
Thank you! ^-^ I hope I don't disappoint, it's been a while since I wrote in the romance/comedy genre.
I liked your snippet! It was a bit mysterious and a little scary, but Joshua standing there in a ballerina attire lightened up the mood :D

...but I have KH3D now and am playing it. 8D
Ahhh, I hope you get yours soon!!
Hmm, maybe I could post to the artist claim thread after all...it's even later now, but maybe I still could?
Oh, I posted another snippet to the check-in thread today. It's one of the more random moments in the fic. xD;
Ah, she hasn't written back yet, which makes me wonder if I should try contacting someone else. :/
I finally learned my lesson: When looking for a beta reader for a story with KH and TWEWY characters, look in the TWEWY section. The list is a LOT shorter, and most of them like KH, too. It took me too long to realize that. ^^'
Hee! XD
Ah, well, this is an AU story, and I changed Joshua a little bit to make it all fit and make sense, but yeah, he drives Saix crazy. xD
Oh gosh, of course he makes appearances throughout the story! I couldn't help myself, I just love writing him and his interactions with Saix. :p But it makes sense too, Joshua coming around every so often, so it's all good.
Not to spoil anything, but, after seeing a bit of KH3D-Joshua, I'm pretty satisfied with how I've written Joshua in my fic so far.
I think you're gonna like the TWEWY folks in KH3D. Beat is great. :]
You're welcome. :] Well, you seem to be doing alright so far! ^_^
This is my first time writing in the romantic comedy genre, so I hope I don't disappoint, either. ^^;
D'aww, thanks! ^///^ Yeah, that scene basically goes back and forth between scary mysteriousness and complete absurdity. xD
Oh, and I may end up making Josh's outfit even MORE ballerina-esque; I think I'm going to make his shoes pink, too. xD
I held back from that because I thought it might be a bit much, and that pink men's dress shoes probably don't even exist anyway, BUT, the other night when my parents were watching some reality show (American Gypsies :/), there was one part that was filmed in a shop with LOADS of men's dress shoes, and my mom pointed out (I wasn't watching, I was washing dishes, but could hear and see some of it) the RAINBOW of colors the shoes were in, including various shades of pink! :D
So, long story short, now that I know that they actually EXIST, I feel a little better about applying them to Joshua. :]
(I like the thought of that, anyway...it would complete the ensemble. ;p)

Ohhh, I read your snippet and I'm really looking forward to reading the rest! My God. I have to say that I have come to a point where I'm so emotionally invested in Saïx's character that my chest actually hurts when I see/read about him doing something stupid (the same goes for Axel/Lea, actually). So it was physically painful for me to hear him say "faggot", and I wanted to slap him. Like, I wanted to jump in there and give him a slap...but then Joshua turned him into a frog, and I felt a little better.
:D

...holy crap, I JUST checked my email (I'm multi-tasking, and this comment box has been open for over an hour), and she wrote me back! I've got a beta!! :DDD
Eee, I'm glad you liked it! :D
Oh gosh, I'm sorry. ._. Well, I can tell you one thing: Joshua will not stand for things like that to be said around him, so he just might help ya with that urge to slap more than once in this. ;)
I guess it's good that I've come from the background I have with Saix, first hating him, then growing to sympathize with him, 'cause that's kind of how my fic is going to go; a despicable Saix who gradually becomes a decent human being.
...actually, I worry about how in-character my Saix is at times. ._.' Especially in that scene. I can't decide if Saix would be the yelling kind or not...
(Of course, nothing's happened to him in-canon that would provoke such a response - no fairies turning him gay - so this is more or less new territory? Not to mention it being AU...idk :/)
Oh, and I picked a toad because well...they're not the prettiest amphibians. :P I mean, I love 'em and all - I go crazy when a baby toad winds up on our back porch - but American toads are like, warty and muddy-colored. So, I think for Saix!toad, I'm imagining a big, warty, muddy-water-blue toad, with an angry face. Not pretty. xD

Ohh, you don't have to apologize! I enjoy stories that brings out all the character-related feelings. ^^
Personally, I don't think he would be the yelling type, but then it would also depend on context? I don't think he's the kind to verbally express anger, hurt or any other feeling that makes him vulnerable, unless it's subtle. I think he would much rather hide such feelings than to deal with them. He might be one to raise his voice when he's annoyed or frightened, but I think that's up for interpretation.
The reason that makes me think that he's one to keep things in is the way he turns into berserk-mode in canon-verse. He's generally so calm and cold, but when he turns it's like he's unleashing all of the pent up negative emotions in a way that's destructive and irrational. His fit of rage just empties him on bad feelings that he's been holding in to make room for more bad feelings, and it's vicious circle that sort of turns him into what he is?
But in your case I think you should outweigh his characterization with the genre of your story whenever it's beneficial and appropriate. His reaction to Joshua's actions is where a bit of the comedy lies. He's frightened, confused, shocked even, and he's having his beliefs questioned, so I think a little yelling is in order ^_^
XDD Poor guy!
