1. Oh, my lord! Those are the notes that never end. XD It just went on and on and on. Aren't notes supposed to be short? Is this a weird american thing?
2. "A persona is for those of you who need to know, a representation of ones personality, or in dictionary terms is, (Persona) n. In biology, same as person. So for all you future readers, this story is based on Jenna, a char that is a representation of my personality.
ZeldaQueen: Actually according to Jung, one's persona was their public facade, not who they really were inside. Phail."
Should I bring an evoker to the fanfic? I could use a shot to the head.
3. Lucid dreams are rare? Really? I'm honestly surprised because I have them all the time. Whenever I'm in my dream I do all sort of weird things, most of the time it involves cartoon physics. I think watching too many WB cartoons (Animaniacs being my all time favorite) and Tom & Jerry made me this way. Only time my dream is not Lucid is when I dream of other stories, then it becomes my own tv station. Weird thing is, last week I dreamed in French with English subtitles.
(Point 4 will be in a separate post because it's a very long rant.)
Oh I can assure you, long author's notes are *not* an American thing. It's a bratty author who can't follow her own advice thing.
I don't think I've ever had any lucid dreams before, but I know what you mean about dreams like tv stations. Most of the time, my dreams are like books I'm re-reading but also participating him (I already know what will happen). Like one of my dreams had me as a member of the Fellowship of the Ring and they all thought they just had to drop the Ring into any old fire. Just as they started a campfire and pitched it in, I remembered that the LOTR was a three-part series and we were only in part one, which meant that we had to fill up the two other books with *something*. That was when they figured out their mistake and decided to set off for Mordor.
The dream thing happens to me too. I usually dream that I'm a character from whatever I watched or read... sometimes in pretty weird situations. Like one time, I was Ian Malcolm, and I had to watch over a bunch of kids on a class trip. In Germany. (I live in Germany, so yeah...). And when I was a kid, I used to read Mickey Mouse comics, and once or twice I dreamed of reading them (really weird ones, though - one contained a room full of sentient orange juice), with a "to be continued" in the corner just before I woke up.
1.) My longest author's note was no where near this long, and it was long because it was a joint fanfic between a friend of mine on Fanfiction.net and they kept refering it to just my story, which bummed him out. I left shorter notes, but finally... a long note was needed. And then, people said they were sorry and either refer to none of us or both of us in their reviews.

2.) I have to wonder where she got that defintion from because I just looked it up and... well... not one of these has that definition. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1T4GGLL_enUS386US387&defl=en&q=define:persona&sa=X&ei=KDXrTN-jB436swO8oLSBDw&ved=0CBYQkAE .
3.) I have them all the time too. A few times, I've gotten good writing material from it, but I've also needed to change it up.
