The story lives! *Cheers madly*

Ooh, I like the way everyone has their own story. I'm beginning to really like Dr Kahren, here. Nice character development. And finally, Aren's alive~~ and promise of more Ky next?

Wheee, I'm so happy~~~

*laughs* Yes, it does. I just wish I had 72 hours in a day to get some writing done.

Thank you. It's getting a bit hard to justify all the characters who simply have to add their two cents, so I'm glad if they're coming across as believable.

ahaha, i don't even know you replied until now OTL

Anyway, thing is, sometimes to keep a story focused you take several viewpoint characters and filter the story through their eyes. But the problem is that nothing, realistically, exists in a vacuum, and the alternative of not telling the things that happen with the loads and loads of minor characters is to gloss things over when the impact's finally reached the viewpoint characters.

Sometimes it's distracting, yes, but I won't say it's a bad things. I like knowing that things happen. And I won't mention that part in Avatar where I tear my hair out wanting to know how that rotund middle-aged person gets out of the palace's jail.

No worries, I regularly seem to miss alerts myself.^^

Yeah, pretty much. I just want to make that world come to life, have it feel like it's full of people for whom these conflicts matter.

*laughs* Yeah, that too. I'm keeping myself from going back and editing the early parts of this fic because so much developed over time and I kind of retconned myself in a couple of places (with the level of technology and all that), but that's the path to the dark side, and abandoned fanfics.
