Buwahaha. X3
Feb. 28th, 2008 07:50 pmGod Help the Outcasts crossed the 50,000 word mark. That means it can officially be classed as a novella, right? And it's not done yet. I think I've figured that it will be ten chapters and an epilogue.
This wouldn't have really fit with the plot of the story, so I omitted it, but I've been randomly toying with a separate and possibly AU fic (though it would not have to be terribly AU; it could take place the night of the cathedral scene), where Kala-Ansa has captured Seph alone and has him in her house or somewhere. It will be a oneshot thing, if I do it. **shrugs.**
Pondering on the two Sephs, I've been thinking and wondering whether FF7 Seph (in my fanon, of course) is still an agnostic when they're on Earth. I always had this image of Gaia as a God-forsaken planet, because of what a wasteland it is in parts (though I know that was largely the fault of humans) and because of how selfish a lot of the people are. I figured that as being part of the reason for Seph's agnosticism on Gaia, and part of what eventually drove him to wanting to become a god after totally losing it. I'm thinking that on Earth he would probably revert back to his agnosticism, but I'm not completely sure, both because of Earth being so different from Gaia and because of something I probably shouldn't discuss yet. ^^
KH Seph, in contrast, seems to definitely believe in God, but feels completely unworthy to approach Him, as depicted in God Help the Outcasts. And while he would never pray for himself, he has considered praying for the welfare of those he loves.
The RP with Lisa is coming along fun, as always. X3 Seph-tachi went to a business dinner and Alexander talked with Angeal. They'd met once before, when Alexander was out flying and Angeal was flying Zack away from Dr. Portman's base. At the dinner, Alexander tried to discuss wings with Angeal. It was cute! And then Phoenix Wright showed up. XD He was there after being invited by his latest client, Siegfried von Schroider. We're fixing to do a Poseidon Adventure-type RP arc next, with a heart-wrenching scene involving Seph only able to save one of his friends during one of the disasters on the ship, when two of them are in trouble. And he can't handle the horror and guilt he feels over not being able to save both. It's Zack he'll be able to rescue, and he imagines that Cloud thinks Seph didn't care as much about him. And Denzel will scream at Seph. It will be so saaad!But of course Cloud will have to be found alive. X3
In the RP with Kaze, we've done a variation of Genesis's appearance, with him poisoned by Portman and the others trying to find the antidote. It's very interesting playing him in both RPs, but he's probably a bit more prominent in this one. Definitely good practice for fics! I like portraying him as a more mature (and more sane) person, but of course he's still extremely philosophical and literary. He wouldn't be Genesis if he wasn't. XD
And now I'd better hurry and try to get that random T&D scene written for tomorrow's 31 Days prompt: Come Give Me My Soul Again. Seph and Zack squee! X3 This will be the T&D version of the last scene of chapter 5 in Loneliness of a God. And I'm hoping that writing it will push me to write the whole chapter 7 for T&D, though I can't guarantee it. XD;;; Such a bittersweet chapter. I'm anxious to get to it, though!
