Some people don't pre-write. I believe this is a major mistake. If your story doesn't need prewriting, it's probably not a very good story

I have an impulse to reply backwards because the last stuff is in my head first, but let me retract and reply to your book in order.
It's nice to know someone feels as I do about pre-writing. I keep hearing people at school bitching up a storm about their teachers wanting them to make outlines and pre-write and how they just "can't do that." And all I want to say is, "That's because you're probably stupid." I don't, but I want to.
You know, the stuff people miss and what some people post on the internet...Okay, so forums and blogs and whatever, I don't care. Misspell. Typo away. And I have tons of typos that I just don't catch in my stories, but I hate working with betas. I know it's smarter to have one, and I try to use them, but I forget about it. That's the honest truth. I forget about betas. But some people should really have them. Take pride in your work, is what I say. They shouldn't even be posting to the internet if you can't figure out how to use spell check or at least Wikipedia. Sure, it's not the most reputable source, but it sure helps for a fast check on things.
No, there's no shipping with Xion as far as I know. There's just this video/preview thing, I guess, where Riku's yelling at her or something. I don't know. I skimmed whatever I was reading about it, but I saw Riku's name, and just had a little shit fit. And yes, it's definitely was you say about post-writing. It's like they have these stories, get ideas later, and shove it all together. And it ticks me off. Birth by Sleep, fine, but make it a long time ago or something. Leave characters we're already familiar with out of it. This DS game with all the numbers (I can't remember them all) has just been ticking me off since I first read about it. Fourteenth Organization member my ass. At least the FFVII universe has gone in some kind of order. The KH universe is all over the place.
I totally respect and understand your love for Riku x Sora. I loved them a whole lot, too. I think I just got it in my head that Sora might be a little too 'good,' if you will, for Riku to handle, him being so emo and all. Or Leon mooning over Sora all through KH2 might have done it. Because Leon needs love, too.
