See, I think that's why the ship was successful. Because the author didn't spend an inappropriate amount of time pushing Dr. Stein (okay I was trying to spoiler tag but :monster:) at us. If they had, it would have felt like a forced agenda and entered the realm of fanwank. And I think that's...

:awesome: I think it says a lot about fandoms’ collective lack of imagination— that they have to imagine that every canon character must be paired with another canon character and can’t possibly meet someone to whom we have not yet been introduced (should they even decide to settle down)...

Is "Standard" like "Common"? Like, "basically English but in a world that doesn't have England"? Or also known as "That Language That Everybody Speaks Including The Audience"? Gah, I really need to replay Crisis Core because I don't remember much of what you're talking about. But yes to what...

To be fair, as far as summaries go, the AO3 tagging system is kind of like a lazy, standardized form of summarizing. "Story = this thing + this thing + this thing." Which I’m okay with. Good to know about them being ineffectual as actual tags, though. I wonder what people are searching for...

Careful, I have a reputation to maintain. :awesome: ————— I know I’ve been doing a fair amount of the aforementioned “Where has the fandom gone?” bellyaching, but that’s more because of: 1. I’ve been in the fandom for so long, seen it at its rather long-lived peak, took a hiatus for a few...

Alternatively, if you use the paper for sketching and have a tablet, you could always snap a cellphone pic to digitize it. As long as you hold it sufficiently straight and don't warp the proportions of the image, just ink it digitally from there and no one will ever be the wiser.

I feel the same about my FF7 stuff. But a universe with no existing fandom is even harder. That's why I proposed that we all form some sort of like write-and-review story club or something, so that at least we can be assured of having a small audience for what we labor on. And to that end...

Exactly. You say it's "not suitable for that field," but which field? We don't know exactly what branch of "science" her degree is in, and Gaia science, where things can be explained by "this disease is caused by a Big Bad exerting his undead will from the Lifestream," is much different from...

People would always find reasons to hate Lucrecia regardless. She represents some pretty dark aspects of humanity. On top of that, she's standing in the way of whatever VincentXWhomever romance people prefer. (Like I like to say: Vincent ships VinLu; Q.E.D.) I, however, feel that a character...

Oh, right, it's Cloud narrating the flashback and I quoted it already myself. :monster: I actually keep thinking it's an NPC somewhere who says it. Forget that momentary lapse of intelligence...pretend I only said the first part.

As did I, but it could very well mean Vincent, Lucrecia, Hojo, and/or Gast. Or even Hojo again and whatever other assistants he may have had looking after Zack and Cloud (if that line doesn't happen in the flashback itself, but I don't remember who/where/when it is said).

Ah, gotcha. So it's "canon," but the variety of which that we're all more or less collectively willing to ignore. :awesome: IS it obvious, though? I mean, is that ever said by anyone, or is it just something we all kind of inferred? Because the older this fandom gets, the more things I find...

Short answer? Yes, at first. In Nibelheim and FF7, definitely. He seems to think she is without blame and everything that happened to her was his fault for not saving her. Vincent is kind of a naive, romantic idealist. Throughout DoC when he learns more of the truth, I think he comes to see...

Tbh there are a lot of weird pauses in DoC. In the scene where Lucrecia and Vincent meet, they just stand there and stare politely at each other for a full ten seconds while kindly waiting for the fade-in and camera pans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQaMDeVM-Ns Likewise, Vincent and Rosso...

What does that have to do with anything pertaining to Shinra Manor? Sound. Both are fairly Podunk towns so I would assume this, too. Wait, are you implying you think Nibelheim was Hojo’s permanent base of operations prior to Jenova Project S, or just that he was stationed there for so...

Do we ever find out why this building even exists? I mean, originally? It looks older than the company itself. Furthermore, why were the Jenova Project peeps put up in the inn instead of here? It's odd enough even if the building was already there, owned by Shinra, its basement lab utilized...

According to my brief Googling, cliché is the noun and clichéd the adjective in English, with confusion arising from "cliché" being the past participle in French. So, speakers of French tend to reason that they can just use the word in English as they would in French. It seems that doing this...

That's...very sad. I'm not sure I'm willing to accept FF7 as dead. Also it makes me kick myself because I wasn't producing any fan stuff while I was in school and I just kind of took for granted that the FF7 fan community has been existent since the game came out and would always be existent...

I see. I joined some communities but I guess because the Reading Page says it only displays things that have been posted in the past 14 days, and the communities I joined haven't had new content in weeks, there is nothing there. Dead, as you say. Ugh, is Tumblr the only option for fandom...
