Marking the first of my Really Terrible Cliffhangers (RTC), I had a ball with this chapter. First of all, I got to explain to the new kids what happened with " It" (Wizardmon's death). I know it doesn't fit with Canon, as they are supposed to learn about it in the 17th or 18th episode, but hey, that's the least of the fans' worries, all things considered. Am I right? I also had a bit of fun with the Kamyia family- Mom's inedible cooking. I went through a few cookbooks before I found something that sounded as bad as the things spoken of in the show. I also got to bring up the other families, which was fun. I'm loving Izzy's parents. this also marks the beginning of the light Takari promised. It's still mostly friendship, because the kids ARE only 11, but still. Warm Fuzzies all around.
Chapter Six: Just Across The Street.
Oh boy. This is where the story really got going. I also had lots of set up for A fading Hope, although I didn't know then that I'd be writing it! I liked parts of this chapter, but other's bothered me. I really dislike OCs ever since my first fic, and Old Shame with an awful Mary Sue, but logically, I knew that the parents would call the cops. Thus... cops. I did like getting to do a Chasing Vermeer shout out in this, though. Fun Fact- all of the school friends Tai calls are named for people I know- variations on nicknames, of course. Sana and Lin for school friends, Doryu for my boyfriend, Turle for my brother, and May for myself. That was fun, although none of them seemed to spot it. Sigh.
Chapter Seven: A Captive Light.
Oh, nightmares. I Felt weird about putting that in, but went with it. Still, why do characters in books and movies aways have dreams so specific to the current situation? I ought to write an English paper on that. I wanted to hug Tai for this, and Kari. My gosh, I'm cruel. Despite this chapter bearing the same name as the overall story, it isn't in anyway the Core. that's later. It was hard to write Ken in this, but I think I did ok on that. Another thing I loved was the shout out to the 1997 A Little Princess, one of my favorite movies. KHLostEmporess got that one, and that made me very happy. I had a blast writing this though, because the Plan was mostly finally revealed. ish. enough to freak people out. Also, the crest of Light- the fake one- shows up. that made several reviewers very happy.
Chapter Eight: Attempted Rescue.
Again, no one called me on it, but huge mistake. unless Mimi and Sora teleported, there was no way they'd have gotten to Japan so soon. If/ When I ever go back and fix stuff, I'll probably have them land somewhere closer, haha. I hated writing this chapter, because it was all just filler. Ugg. But people seemed to like it, so, meh. And I was quite proud of "Tai dove headlong at the boy, despite the fact that said boy was currently about 13 feet off the ground, atop an eight ton monster." It amused me greatly.Again with the RTCs, I proved my Evilness.
Chapter Nine:Emperor's Desire.
My birthday post! I got quite a few reviews from that. I ought to claim it's my birthday more often. only the day I posted this chapter, it really was my birthday, and I'd never lie. except about deadlines. I love Joe. I've said it often. He's just great. Ah, the Ransom Note. Good grief that was a pain to write. I really hated writing that. Somehow there was some repetition, but again, no one called me on it, so it doesn't really matter. Anyway, the RTC on this chapter wasn't so bad as the next few, but wasn't as much fun either.
That's all for now.
