Oh, wow! I hope I'm not keeping you up or anything :x Make sure you can get to those classes on time!

Ahaha, why, thank you so much! Too true. But I myself wouldn't recommend my stuff to anyone seriously considering a career in writing -- I am horribly lacking in proofreading skills, and it shows. Good grief, it shows. That, and I tend to ignore grammar in favour of being descriptive. Whoops. And, hey, there are lots of good writers who write fanfiction, and aspire to be authors. I think it's quite as good a place as any to start.

Ah, yes, those three - I'm most proud of Xigbar and Zexion's, partly because Xigbar's fan-frigging-tastic, and when I write Zexion, he always comes off as a bit wistful, somewhat pestered by an inner melancholy, but all that is restrained because of what he is. Most of my characterisation for Xaldin stems from those quotes during Days - I don't know, but there's an implication that he was no stranger to those facets of life, but something happened to close his heart to it (er, aside from his being a Nobody ( ... )

Ahaha, okay then!

Yes, I know what you're at, and I do conclude that yours is a very valid point. But I mean to say that, the average writer, if fully prepared to improve themselves, should look wherever they can! Anthologies, online literature, whatever. There's a whole wealth of unpublished genius out there, after all x) But yes, fanfiction is a pretty...obscure branch, ahaha.
LOL, I just hope my blatant disregard for some grammar rules (in favour for exceedingly, annoyingly long sentences!) isn't very painfully obvious.

Haha, Xigbar's just so popular like that. Though truth be told, it's sort of hard to pick favourites with the Organisation. They're all brilliant in their own ways. And sure, many people wish Days didn't exist, and I suppose it was slightly pointless and didn't elaborate on more details, but the characterisation we gleaned was welcome nonetheless ( ... )

Very much so. And it will expose them to a larger variety of writing styles and whatnot, rather than be limited to whatever they have been exposed to over the course of their studies.
; u ; I'm glad you think so! I've been told too many times that it's confusing to read my sentences because they go on forever -- and I'm seemingly incapable of writing short, snappy sentences.

They are! Just because there isn't enough in-canon to work off of is no excuse to neglect them. Sheesh, look at Demyx! Only about three scenes or so, and look at his following. And then we have Vexen, who's often poked fun at, Lexaeus and Xaldin, who don't seem to exist, and Luxord, who is only rarely ever seen. As for the girls, they're in a whole new category of neglect ( ... )

...ohright. OKAY WHY DIDN'T I REALISE IT'S THE BISHIE FACTOR LMAO. I tend to forget about the existence of such things in favour of my extremely grimdark headcanon, as was exemplified in Ganymede.

I feel terribly for Vexen. Sure, he looks old, and is all planes and angles, but c'mon. PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT. If the whole Organisation was one endless parade of pretty bishounen, they'd be so much flatter, personality-wise. And I won't be able to tell them apart ahaha.

Fair enough! The only thing people tend to take from it is the characterisation. Because the explanation for why Roxas left the Organisation...well, sure, it's meaningful, but at the same time, it was a bit...'meh' to me. I expected something huge and epic. Or maybe it's just me.

...WHAT REALLY. Oh my god creepy factor up times a bajillion. I'd have pegged him for eleven, twelve at the least though the creepyperson in me could see him as eight, thanks to that Creepy Child trope..

oAo Okay then!

And, well, I think the Bishie Factor is complete and utter bullshit |8 It's back to square one and all this BLAH BLAH BEAUTY = GOODNESS, SO EVERYTHING UGLY IS BAD and NONONO I WON'T LISTEN TO ANYONE BUT MYSELF.'

Yeah. Quite a shame in the end, really. I guess they had to tie up all the loose ends Days brought up.

I must say, this makes Ienzo all the more chilling. But seriously, nine. Wow.
...mind=blown.

Exactly! And seriously, imagine if that were applicable in real life. The human race would die out in a week's time because nobody can truly live up to the impossibly high standards of perfection set by the likes of fangirls.

I definitely will. And will try to stay true to him and do justice to his character!
