From chapter 4 and chapter 8, respectively. As always, clicking on them makes them bigger.

I randomly read over my DuckTales story Run for Your Life, which, in spite of being seven years old, I still found pretty good. It needed a little more explanation and could have been longer, but as far as it went I think it turned out well. Maybe I'll revise it some time.

I also read over my last attempt at a Darkwing fic, Dust in the Wind. It was supposed to be multi-chapter, but my inspiration had died before even posting what I did of it. I had been hoping that inspiration would return when people reviewed, but that didn't happen. XD; Reading it over now, I am horrified to discover that I created an OC sniper called Jun to be the villain ... and I remember nothing of what I intended for said Jun. If I want to pick up the story again, I'll have to start from scratch. Unless I possibly could have pitched some ideas for Jun to someone whom I was talking to about the fic.... **will have to look over some old chats from around that time.**

Does anyone besides me think Glomgold acted out of character in the final episode of DuckTales, Attack of the Metal Mites? I mean, I know he wants to be better than Scrooge and that he'd like to pretty much leave Scrooge with nothing, but from what I remember of the episode, his attack in that episode was completely unprovoked: they weren't warring over a business deal or some other competition, but he just randomly decided to have Scrooge's fortune eaten by the metal mite thingies. Or am I remembering wrong and there was something that provoked Glomgold into doing that? In any case, I dunno ... he kinda seemed like he'd gone off the deep end in that episode. Especially when he jumped up and down and waved little flags around and cheered on the metal mites. WHUT.

I actually worked some on the next chapter of Bend and Break. X3 I got a first scene done, though it might be expanded later, and I'm in the middle of a second scene. This story is hard to write because it's so sad, but I also really want to be able to tell it. It kinda explores the darker side of KH, with the really creepy Nobody and Heartless stuff. And while Seph's being tortured, there's the flashback scenes showing what happened with Lucrecia and Hojo (EDIT: showing before Seph was born and right after, in case there's any confusion. So it's over thirty years ago). I'm thinking maybe he'll find Lucrecia's journal or something, possibly at his old house. Maybe she left it with him because she wanted Hojo's atrocities to be known, and Seph's adopted parents kept it.

I'm trying to debate now on whether I should have a KH Vincent in the flashbacks or if that would only complicate matters and my timeline in general. If I do bring him in, I'm not sure he'll turn up in the present time. I'd leave it open with Seph and the others wondering what could have happened to him. But I dunno if I wanna bring one in at all. Thoughts?

Oh, I especially adore the kitchen scene! ^^ The wings came out perfect in both cases as usual, and I liked the view of the snow outside through the window in the second one! **remembers the hair jokes**

Oh, I need to read that DuckTales fic! I have forgotten the metal mites episode... but him waving little flags and cheering certainly seems... odd, to say the least...

Yay Bend & Break! Yes, the whole aspect of the Heartless/Nobodies is rather dark... KH Vincent? Well, he was adorable in "Good Luck and Goodbye" but that's FF7... I'd say go ahead and introduce him if you like! ^^ But if you think he's going to complicate things, maybe you can bring in someone already in the fandom... Sora, maybe, since he's interacted with Seph before?

Thanks! Glad you like them! ^^ I had fun figuring out what could be seen out the window.

Yeah, I sure thought so. XD; Maybe the writers were on crack that day.

Well, it has to be Vincent or nobody, because FF7 Vincent was very important in the Lucrecia/Hojo mess. XD; Vincent fell in love with Lucrecia, but she was afraid for his life and went with Hojo in the end. Sora wouldn't have even been born during the flashbacks. LOL. *Seph* hasn't been born yet in the flashbacks.

Oooh, the pictures came out great!^^ The wings are wonderful as usual.^^ Seph's skin tone in the first one does seem rather light, but I'm wondering if that might just be the scanner's fault. XD **and is amused at the lamppost.** XD

And I love how everyone's so happy and relaxed in the second one!^^ Oh, and there's snow.... I wish it would snow right now! And then I could hide inside with a nice, comfy sweater....

Those stories sound like fun!^^ Hopefully you can figure out something for Jun, because a sniper really sounds interesting!

LOL @ cheering on the metal mites. I can't remember anything about that, but it certainly sounds off-the-wall. XD;

Ooh, finding Lucrecia's journal would be neat!^^ Would he find that after he escapes from Hojo?

**ponders about Vincent.** I hadn't imagined Vincent being in the history, for some reason. Do you have any ideas of how he'd be involved?

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was discouraging to look at the pic and see that the skin tone still looked too light. XD; But oh well.

The second pic was so fun to draw! ^^ One of the few calm moments in the story.

Yeah, I wish I could remember what I'd planned! Maybe I drew a sketch of Jun at some point. **kinda thinks she did.**

LOL. Definitely one of the weirdest moments of the series. XD; Actually the whole episode was strange. It wasn't too satisfying as the final episode of the snow.

He would. ^^ Probably towards the end of the story.

A KH Vincent would probably play a similar role as the FF7 one did, as far as being in love with Lucrecia and trying to stop Hojo, but I'm not sure if he would clutter the past or not. XD; I kinda haven't pictured a Vincent around either.

[cskazaam.livejournal.com]

Aww, yeah that would be discouraging! But the pic still looks great.^^

That would be neat if you could find the sketch!^^

Hmm... I'm kinda thinking it would be nice to have Lucrecia by herself. She might appear to be stronger if it was just up to her to defy Hojo, without Vincent. And it would make it more different from FF7, which I think would be cool.^^ Maybe it's just me, but I kinda don't think there's room for Vincent. XD; It doesn't seem like he'd add much to the story, unless you were planning on bringing him in later.

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

That's pretty much my thoughts exactly. ^^ I think I will leave him out. XD; Sorry, Vincent.

SDF;KJ;J I LOVE THE ONE OF THE BOYS BEING ALL DOMESTIC. SO MUCH SQUEE.

lol, I wish I still found the stuff I wrote seven years ago to be readable. I can barely get through a lot of the stuff I wrote three years ago, let alone seven. XD;

I hear you on not having anything to work with for that OC! I do stuff like that all the time with my plunnies - I have some great scene all worked out in my head, but I never bother writing any of it down... so when I get back to the plunnie, I have no idea what the heck was supposed to happen in said scene. Man. XD;

I dunno, just IMO Vincent would make an excellent addition to the KHverse in general. >3 I totally wish he'd have been lurking around in Hollow Bastion in KH1. That would've been awesome. XD; But, I can understand where trying to include him in Bend and Break would just make your timeline unnecessarily complicated.

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Thanks! ^^ I had so much fun with that one.

XD Definitely can sympathize. I'm surprised about the DuckTales fic, because most of the stuff I did in that time period makes me headdesk.

**nodnod.** So frustrating! I think I'll remember because it's something big, but then if the inspiration dies I sometimes end up forgetting. XD;

Yeah, a mysterious guy lingering in the shadows would have been just awesome. X3 Maybe I'd have him be some friend of Lucrecia's whom she's known for a long time, but he wouldn't really play a huge part in the flashbacks. I dunno.... Part of me wants him there, the other part insists it would not turn out well.

Very nice coloring. :)

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ^^ Coloring them is always a lot of fun.
