Anyone on my flist who isn't interested in FF8, or RPGs in general, flee now, while there's still time. The rest of you, read the intro, and if that doesn't make you join the ones already fleeing, you're in for a 20K word partial draft of an outtake that just seriously got derailed. I think it's mildly amusing, so I thought I'd share.
