So I said in a comment that I actually expect FFXIII to become a decent writing fandom for me because of the holes and confusion in said story. That's pretty true: I write more for fandoms that didn't necessarily feel complete or sensical to me (FFIV, what with the LUNAR WHALE and all; FFVIII's plot holes and weirdly focused storytelling) than I do

ANYWAY.
1) That fic sounds awesome, and even if it's unfinished, I'm gonna take a breeze through it
2) OH GOSH he had that "instant chain" ability, I think? That's what I used him for, anyway, because Blitz hits like 1 million times so even if the chance is a low % if you Blitzed enough you would probably hit the "random instant chain", and then instant stagger, and instant dead turtle. I abused Vanille's Death skill on those because I had 'accidentally' over-levelled my Crystarium and got their ultimate skills at a pretty early level, but Sazh's thing was pretty bad ass also. I don't know why everyone ( ... )

I'm also jonesing for Sazh/Jihl fic.
Because I'm a sick person.
And I think it would be fun in a horrible way, kind of like that Quistis/NORG fic on ffnet.

I am also on an iPad so hello horrible autocorrections ahoy
ANYWAY. I think this is partially why Snow doesn't necessarily interest me on his own, but in terms of a ship, I'm way more sold. It's the opposite of how I usually come into fandoms -- I'm usually all about a small handful of characters and my pairing likes grow over time -- so it's kind of new for me, to have a couple ships I really want that don't contain characters I like on their own.
I also think its more interesting to see Snow as this big dumb idiot, because - like I said - in the end he ends up being partially right, because they all managed to change their fates with little more than determination and will, like he said they could all along. (and I realize this is one part Final Fantasy - FFX, anyone? - and two parts horrible writing, but still.) So even though he isnt the hero and isn't even the leader, his constant chorus of we can do it ends up being a little bit justified in the end.

Even with adult supervision, but then he's kind of entertaining as a punching bag. Except yes, you want to punch him. But that's the POINT. And nearly everyone, EVEN A 14 YEAR OLD EMO KID, punches him. (While Vanille doesn't punch Snow, she encourages Hope to find and punch him, which is also kind of funny).
So yeah. Snow by himself is unbearable. Snow in relation to others? Much more interesting.
And.... "STEELGUARD!"

He definitely is analogous to Don Quixote, I think! And YES Seifer comparisons.
