Honestly, I think you're doing a good job with these, and I don't dislike Rosa- after all, I'm cosplaying her at Ohayocon. :D Keep up the good work, because someone IS reading even if I don't comment all the time!

Oh, must have pictures of the cosplay! Let me know. I'm glad you're enjoying and reading my stories, and especially that you don't dislike Rosa.

My writer's note is mostly a lot of griping over the sorry treatment she's received compared to Rydia for a while. There's fanart where she's left out of pivotal scenes from the game that she was a part of, and the rumor I mentioned in the writer's notes REALLY got to me. It would be like if Rosa were the popular one and someone said Rydia only helped Cecil and the party because the phantom beasts said they wouldn't screw her anymore unless she did it. It was able to brush it off at first, but with that combined with things like the results of the TGS poll and how I've seen more Rydia fanart than Rosa fanart since the remake got announced, I've just been getting more bitter about Rydia than I'd like in spite of how I KNOW she's a great character and how she and Rosa go great together.

Also, I love your icon for Kain. You always seem to have awesome icons. :)

A good portion of my life is spent making hilarious icons. Totally gankable, BTW. I'll try and remember to post a link to pictures in something I post in this comm so people can see them! Sev is supposed to do Rydia, but I don't think she'll get hers done in time, so it may just be me by my lonesome!! :D

Oh, I hope sev manages to get it done in time! Or at least that she gets to use it at a later con if not this one. I know a lot of work goes into these costumes when people make them, so I hope each of you gets a chance to show them off at the con.

Is yours done, or are you still working on it but on schedule for the con? And the thought just crossed my mind, is THAT the reason why there's been such a lull in FF4 fic as the game creeps closer? I don't see much new writing on the game outside of the few people here.
