Pre-Nibelheim Fic Musings
Mar. 23rd, 2007 01:13 amAltered the title of the humor fic as per Aubrie's amusing suggestion. XD
Tossed some ideas at Stacey for the serious fic. We pondered over what type of injuries might result, judging by the placement of the scar, and what type of injuries I would be willing to do. Then I brought up my musings for the plot, which she liked. ^^ I decided that maybe Sephiroth and Zack were sent to investigate reports of an uprising (probably in a made-up area, unless anyone has a good idea for a canon area). They get there and are warmly welcomed, but things seem too perfect. Eventually they're held hostage by the place's leaders/secret army in order for the people to barter with Shinra for what they want. And that's as far as I've gotten. I'm getting rather excited about it now. Political intrigue, mixed with hopefully character studies of both Seph and Zack, and definitely some stuff about their friendship. I figure Seph gets wounded during a battle, but I haven't determined the details yet.
I haven't tried to write much yet about Sephiroth as he was before he flipped. Stacey and I have pondered over that too, and I'm anxious to get some of our ideas down on paper/word processor/whatever. I find it interesting that he reportedly had some problems with being prideful about his strength, mixed with an apparently kind and warm side. We mused over that he was probably also quite blunt, and that if other SOLDIERs came to talk to him about problems, he would probably tell it exactly as he saw it, as well as what could be done about it. In my own mind I picture him as someone who would always make time when he could to hear about other's problems, but would never talk about his own, except possibly now and then to Zack. But even then, I doubt he'd ever say much.
And he goes through a lot of different stages in T&D and S&M, as I fully realized when I wrote it out earlier as a personal study for me. X3 He and Cloud develop the most in the fics, though I'm also hoping to do something with Renothough what and how, I'm not sure.
For personal reference, here's what I wrote, though some things may alter or change as time goes on. The first two sections are what's known and/or assumed from canon, while the rest is me taking that information and experimenting with it:
( Chart Thing )
I tried writing an argument between him and Cloud at the beginning of S&M, after he returns from parts unknown, but it came out wrong. XD Whoops. **will have to try again.**
