Somewhere in Between - Outtakes and (really bad) humor

[ashes_and_wings]

First off, let me say we never wanted to offend anyone with what you will read here. Most of it was written late at night, when insanity and insomnia collide. Um… some are just short little things over the IM when we needed a laugh - others longer parts we had written into real chapters. Again, yeah, none of this was really ever meant to be seen,

Oh these are too cute! I love seeing "behind the scenes" sort of things...just from listening to you talk about writing this it seems like you really enjoy it, and that you and Wayward Tempest work really well together...(well, clearly you do, otherwise the story wouldn't be as great as it is...) <3

But..aww, I actually like Elise! I mean, she's not Rinoa...but was a good interim girl for Squall to keep him from going completely insane...but I really do think she is wonderful :) I hope that however you guys end it isn't too tragic for her <3

[ashes_and_wings]

Sorry about the late reply, this is the first time I have really been on in weeks. Oh yeah, Nicole and I have hundreds of crazy ideas for stories, that will never get done. (This is a good thing, trust me.)

I'm glad Elise is at least 'tolerable.' When we originally planned it out we couldn't see doing it with a canon character (like Quistis) It just wouldn't have worked in our opinion. So hoped going that route wouldn't upset too many people.

[summonerluna]

Haha unused ideas are always fun :)

Yeah I don't think a canon character would have worked either...unless it was just a character you only encounter like, once...Squall and Selphie definitely do not work, and I really love the role Quists plays in this story :) (Though I did wonder...are your characters like Elise, Maude and Lauren based on people you know? I love seeing them reappear!)

Oh and one final thought...I don't know if you will get a chance to check, but I wrote a quick note to you on my personal journal...I have found a couple of songs that are soundtracks to your stories! :)

hahaha those summaries are awesome XD and Rinoa marrying Laguna??! what were you thinking>>!! O___O imagining Squall calling Rinoa mom is kinda scary XD

and poor Elise, okay i must admit that she is kinda annoying but she's not a bad person and i really hoped that she would've met someone else better than Squall. Well not saying that Squall sucks or anything but everyone's got their own problems and everything...

added you as a friend =) please add back~ ^___^

[ashes_and_wings]

Added you! A little late, but darn it, I did it.

I love the humor in the 'mom' bit. I was thinking of making a line about that somewhere in Dancing in Time, I that is the only story I could get away with doing it. (In humor of course)

I'm so glad you have a LJ, now that the gymnastic season is almost over (daughter's last meet is this weekend) I should be around much more again. Yay!

[cerulean88]

yay thank you ^___^ looking forward to read more weird-ness from you =D like this one XD i'm so glad that you've opened an lj too~

i pretty much left a chapter unread (newest and last one) when reading your fic well i guess that's a sort of habit? It's a little hard to explain...maybe so that if i can no longer wait there's a chapter there that is waiting for me?? XD

please excuse my weird logic *gets shot*

[ashes_and_wings]

You know that is so weird...that I love it! In my mind that (Leaving a chapter unread) would make sense too, so don't worry. We can be strange together. Woo hoo!

[churched]

Don't be insulting Laguna! He is made of awesome. .

I will confess to not being much of a fan of Elise although I do see the purpose in her being in the story and the writer in me gets severe chest pains at the thought of any written character not being taken seriously and having their viewpoint considered. But I'm also crazy, I believe my characters talk to me and guide their own action, and I'm just the in-between.

This was awesome and made me giggle muchly. Hope to see more! <3

[ashes_and_wings]

Thanks so much! Nah, we love Laguna and wanted to try to give him and Quistis a different type of roll in SIB, with a different type of relationship. You wouldn't picture those two in the game being the main support system for one another and from that the tight friendship bonded.

And you must remember, Nicole and I are rather crazy, with a weird sense of humor at times. Which is why I wasn't sure if I should post these or not. ^_^

[yaygirlkat]

That was so funny!! Squall calling Rinoa...mom OMG!!
To be honest, I like elise even though sometimes I want to kill her...but only cause I want Squall and Rinoa together!! But she's a nice character and hopefully she'll find someone else...um...maybe Laguna!!LOL

[ashes_and_wings]

Hehe...you know we have thought about that, well actually in the past we have pretty much gone through every possibility - you know for all those Squall/Maude fans out there... *cough*

Though, after carefully consideration, we think we'll stick with the original plan. Though I am pretty sure people would be horrified with the surprise Maude/Squall ending.

[anonymous]

Lol, nice behind the scene... I'm glad you're not using any f this though. And as far as Elise is concerned... I don't really like her, not really hate her... just think she has a way of being too perfect and that makes her annoying... kind of like quistis ( honestly, I was disappointed in the beginning that you would give Quistis one of the main role, I'm glad we don't see her so often now...Could you try and make squall yell at her for what she's done ?)

Hey Chris, I know you! How's it going? Sorry the delay in the reply, hope you have been surviving life.

I'm trying to think right off if we have any more Squall yelling scenes... not that I can think of, though he won't be happy with anybody in the near future, if that counts! ^_^ The yelling and fighting stuff is more my forte, as you could guess. ;)
