Too tired to mention much else...

[terrayndian]

After waiting for feedback from a couple of betas (thank you Jess and cicer!), I have an update for you patient souls - 'High Price' chapters four and five. And that's the ending to this story, one that I'm happy to finish since it was a little bit hard for me to write compared to other stories. It's sad how the last update was in July. Hopefully

Thank you for updating two chapters at once. I, for one, liked the way you ended it and it was a very good read. I'll be late for work (again), but it was so very worth it.

[terrayndian]

Heh, after not updating the story since July, posting a couple of chapters of 'High Price' was my apology to everyone. ;) And I'm glad to hear that the ending was enjoyable. I know that I always fall into the same traps of cheese and sap, but I really can't help myself. Happy endings make me feel good inside.

And shame on you for being late for work. I'll have to remember to post on weekends just for that reason. ;)

[2metaldog]

Oh my! Don't let that stop you from updating when you're done! I'm continually late for work. You know the drill... one more sentence to write, I just hafta finish this paragraph, I can't stop writing in the middle of a hot sex scene.....

I like happy endings too so I don't mind at all.

[terrayndian]

Heh, I haven't posted anything since... October, I think, so yeah, I should be taking credit for contributing to that dry spell, not ending it. ;) But you're very welcome, anyway.

*content*...And that's how stories should end. I feel blessed to read two chapters and get an ending out of it, it hasn't happened since I first started reading your fics, which was way to long ago *grin* I particularly loved how comfortable Seifer was with who and what he is, no illusions but no unnecessary angst either, just someone who knows his price and is fine with it. Oh, and just a quick typo thing, in part four near the end, there's some 'giving me a bed feeling' (which I can admit might be fitting but I still think you meant 'bad' :)) Oh, and personally I'm rooting for the hockey fic, but we know I'm biased ;)...

[terrayndian]

A-aw, you're making me feel guilty for rarely finishing a story... though I completely blame SxS for making these stories entirely too long. Bastards, making me work too hard at bringing them together

[prikliuchenie]

Ah no, that was unintended! :) I'm not complaining - I love long stories, even better than short :)

I do love Seifer :) I think I've said this before - at the beginning I just loved Squall, and Seifer sort of, by association. You made me fall for him in his own right, heee! In most stories he's kinda stereotypical - but you infuse some unique (and lovable and charming as hell) personality in him that makes me care what and how happens to him independently of whatever happens to Squall. Quite a rare feat :) Lol, and it's good that Seifer's there, otherwise poor Squall would stay forever clueless ;)

Heavy? Hm. You wouldn't know until you give it a try, no? *sly grin* I don't mind 'un-playful' stories ;)..And I know! It's so unfair, our dividion is so cutthroat...Well, it keeps thing perpetually interesting. At least Canucks are way better than when they started *keeps fingers crossed not to jinx them*

[terrayndian]

*laugh* Don't worry about it! I was just playing around. That, and I can't believe I've been writing these stories for so long. I used to be able to whip out stories a lot faster... then again I was a college student with time every day to write. =P

*applaudes* Congradulations! You're offically my favourite teaser author. Leaving me hanging for months on end with your delicious stories, and then to finally come back with not one, but two chapters. You're made me so happy!

Actually, on a more private note, this coincides with something happy that happend this week for me. I had failed an important class in my first semester, and the result ended up being unable to attend four classes for this current semester. but after I had a chat with the professor who failed me, we came to an arrangement. I re-do two assignments and if they were good enough, he would raise my mark to a pass. And well, I guess they were good enough, 'cause now I can go attend all my classes.

Anyways, just my happy rant.

Nonetheless, I hope to read more stories from you in the future, but although I'm Canadian, I hope this hockey story you're fooling around with will be tasteful :P

[terrayndian]

Heh, if you believe the words of my coworker, I'm apparently devoid of all that is good. It sounds better than being simply evil. ;) But hey, I'm happy that a mere two chapters was able to cheer you up after months of me hiding away in that real world nonsense.

Kudos to you for the school whatnots. I know what it feels like to be held behind a bit. I had to do an extra semester of college because my advisor failed to inform me that I needed a minor with my Chemistry major. Worse yet, I had a minor already, but it was an honors program that apparently didn't fulfill the requirement despite the fact it was twice the amount of credit hours, not to mention the workload. Idiots. I'm so happy to not be a student anymore.

*snicker* Depends on your definition of 'tasteful'. There's certainly tasting... ;) But yes, I love hockey, so it's nothing against the game. It's just another real world setting where Squall and Seifer can beat the shit out of each other and it's perfectly fine.

Bah, don't sell yourself short. I read the two chapters, and although I had made up my own ending for the story during your "absence" months ago, they were still pretty good.

Ah, that must've sucked. I hope I don't need to do that. So far I'm still on track, but there's a couple of assignmnets that I'll probably have to do within this week, but hopefully the profs might let me off on them, but very unlikely :P

Anyways, thanks for the kudos. Don't think anyone has ever said that phrase to me before though :D

Question about that hockey idea, you gonna give Squall an advantage because of his ifinity with ice, or you gonna have Seifer get his way?

Gah! I keep procrastinating on my fanfics. Like I've said before, I've got all these ideas running around like crazy in my head, just no initiative to start them, or even any time to spare.

Did you deal with this kind of stress when you were 18-years old?

By the way, how old are you anyways?

[terrayndian]

The hockey fic would be a real world setting, so there won't be anything like an 'affinity with ice' or the like. In my current idea, Squall is a rookie center who is really fast on the ice. Seifer is a second year defense man who is relatively fast and hits very hard. I haven't gone too much further since I don't know if my current idea really works.

Heh, stress is always bad, it's just the type of stress that always changes. From school to finding a job to living on your own, there are always things conspiring out there to make your life stressful.

Hey, I wondered if you ever did get my message that the chapter wasn't attached to the email I recieved. I wasn't ignoring you or anything.

[terrayndian]

*laugh* Talk about the attack of spam mail protectors. Nope, I didn't get your email about that. And just to be curious, was this the paranoid themed email I sent? Because I realized about ten minutes after I sent that one that I didn't attach anything and sent another email with files attached. And I had tried another email a week before that. I guess you probably didn't notice that friend's protected post I did last week, either. I sent the others links to the chapters, but since I already felt like I was harassing the crap out of you with three emails and a post, I didn't want to seem too irritating with yet another email, just in case you had received everything and got busy for some reason. =P

But it's alright. I just hate having chapters sitting around for weeks when I could be posting them, so that's why I wasn't waiting for all of the betas to get back to me. I'll try again with the next chapter of FNFE and just send links to save me the anguish of waiting for feedback.

[smgriffin]

Good God. O.o Have you pissed off some internet diety or something? I didn't think that many things could go wrong at once... And yes, it was the Paranoid. I sent another email with that message, so if you wanna send me another chapter sometime, send it to PrincessGriffin2007@yahoo.com instead. For some reason, my hotmail account tends to look upon yahoo users in disdain, spit upon them, and then do some voodoo ritual that dispels all emails of the yahoo variety.

... Me and Ruthy found that out the hard way. "Did you get my email." - "Wtf, I was waiting for an email?" Yeah, interesting times, that.

[terrayndian]

*laugh* I was certainly starting to feel that way. I have to wonder if the file names with 'high price' was the part that the blockers kept attacking. But anywho, I'll use your other address next time. It's good to know that I'm not the only one having issues, though. It makes me feel a little less internet stupid. ;)
