This is more of a general rant:

There isn't even room in the Kingdom Hearts storyline for a major OC. Not without disrupting most of the story... And there just really isn't need for one. *sighs* Frankly, an OC is automatic grounds for AU... If there must be OC, I'd like to see it done right, plz.

.___o For some reason.. I get the feeling that the gansta.. is gonna be Riku.. Since I have heard comments about his outfit. Just cause..I'm assuming his brother is gonna be Sora and ..hm.. Seifer and Sora would be kind of interesting. XD

... What. XD I've never heard the term gangsta applied to Riku... *dies* WLKLkejlkjg. But yes, I have to admit that Seifer/Sora sounds intriguing. X) Ohgod a Seifer/Sora/Roxas threesome just brained me. *ded*

Secondly, the, uh, voice? I think part of the problem with 'I' voice is that it's a lot easier to slip out of character and into your own voice, because That is SO not something I can just be all ‘okey doky, poky wokey’ with.... Doesn't sound to me like anything Roxas would spout. :|

........o_O? Are you serious?

Mm. I'm pretty sure I fail at it too. D: I've got... actually, I've got way too many fics in the first person. o____O Dunno how that happened. I'm not sure why any of them were in first person, come to think of it. ;;; The purpose of writing in first person is...?

Ahahahaha. But I guess not much of fandom can claim to be sane... ;;;
