Sunny Arcadian Skies Rockman Fanfiction

Hi hi, Ink! Your reply was pretty big and I wanted to make sure you saw a proper reply!

First off, thanks for checking out the site and enjoying the fanfics! I appreciate all of my readers. =)

I know what you mean about Ciel's age. I believe she starts in MMZ1 at age 14, and in Z2, she's 15 til the end (2 months between Z2 and Z3, and not long at all before Z3 and Z4) so despite her maturity in all other regards, in terms of romance, I don't really view Ciel all that mature at all. Also, although you didn't outright say it, YAY someone ELSE admits to something between Elpizo and Ciel, despite it being one-sided! Than again, Elpizo himself wasn't very "old" either. If he lived and Ciel was a little older I'd totally advocated Elpizo/Ciel.

Zero, to me, is not the type to stay in one place once his duty is fulfilled. He's too restless, too on edge. This is shown in Z3, when apparently it's been 2 months of quiet, almost peacefulness, but he was constantly on edge, even snapping at Ciel and the others to shut up because they were "on a mission." To me, Zero takes things extremely seriously, far too much for someone as young as Ciel. I don't know, although Zero was typically encouraging for Ciel, in the situation they were in, it was beneficial for him to be kind. When they weren't in immediate danger (such as the intro to Z3), Zero was quick to be 'mean' to her.

I wish they put more emphasis on how Zero was during both of X's deaths. At the end of Z1, Zero had already remembered enough about X to know they "were always the best of partners" (direct quote.), and he looked incredibly pissed that Elpizo was threatening X's physical body. But afterwards, he was just fixated on Dark Elf... and X hardly reacted to his own death. Then again, as some of my one-shots implied, X had seen it coming and as you've said, Zero probably didn't get the "full" impact of X's death. The second death, I don't think Zero knew until much later, and by the time Z4 rolls around, Zero must put on the facade of being "okay" or else the Resistance would crumble, and he knew it.

Thanks again for the comment, Ink =) I love hearing from people!

@Lady Midnight - thanks for the feedback on Axl/Delia, appreciated <3

@Kallan - Well I can't spoil TOO much about Axl/Delia, but you're on my brain wave length! XD So some het isn't gonna kill anyone? I don't wanna be all... heavy Zero/X and kill people with the yaoi overdose! lmao But, oh, I'm so happy to hear SoM: R was a good introduction fic for you. <3 Thank you so much, and don't worry, it'll get finished eventually!


Thanks to everyone that's replied, here and dA. See you next time!

So I got this in my FF.net PM box:

"Why, why do all of you people make Zero gay?!? He likes Ciel. And before that it was Isis. So, Zero is STRAIGHT!"

I was nice in replying, but I still found it hilarious. One, it's IRIS (if you're going to advocate a het pairing, KNOW WHO'S IN IT), two, WHERE in canon does it say Zero likes Ciel more than friendship? Hm? Three, its fanfiction, I can do whatever the fuck I want.

Lulz.

Been having my brain shot repeatedly by talking to the ex-boy. I'll get on board with writing again soon, promise.

All right so my first MMX story ever was Song of Memory, of which I'm re-writing as Song of Memory: Redux.

So far I'm relatively happy with the fanfic. It could use a few touch ups but the 28 chapters posted are still pretty good quality. I think the build up wasn't too long or too short, Zero's depression over Iris and Colonel was relatively realistic, the sex wasn't just fanservice and had emotion associated to it, etc. I hope I can continue to churn out quality chapters despite the business of nursing school.

Right now SoM:R is meant to end around the 50 chapter mark. Currently we are in what I call the "Nightmare Arc", which will be a combination of X6, X7, and a little bit of X8. That's right, we'll see the Hunters getting pelted by Gate's Nightmare virus and Red Alert, and that's just the outside influences.

What I'm going to ramble about right now isn't so much related to the Arc itself as it is one of the factors: the Axl and Delia relationship.

Right now the way the story is going, Axl and Delia are going to hook up. Delia is flirting shamelessly with Axl and Axl is hitting puberty. I plan to hook them together but, I wonder how far they'll go. Sometimes no matter how much I plan the story and characters do their own thing it seems.

They can simply date, or actually get heavy into each other, or possibly never date at all and it's more one-sided. Either way it goes X and Zero aren't gonna be happy, especially X. He's so angry nowadays you'd think he was PMSing! Who's ever seen X so lashy outside of Zero dying? Zero is typically the lashy one. Hmmm.

The other factor of the Nightmare Arc that's also sort of getting me is the Gate/Alia/Signas triangle. I've always been a fan of Signas/Alia as a het couple, but Gate/Alia also has tons of potential. My question is, should I even put any real emphasis on this triangle, or keep other couplings to a minimum and focus only on Zero and X? I know I'll show brief Signas/Alia moments as the story unfolds, but should I add a little more just for some diversity? I kinda want to, but I don't want to clutter my story if its completely unwanted.

Anyway that's my rant for the next month. Check out the LJ (see links section) for storyboarding/concepts/rambling of mature stories. Back to studying!

This is where you can find storyboards, concepts and ideas for non-smut stories. If you're a perv and interested in seeing my thoughts on my smut stories, head over to the links section and find my LiveJournal.

Welcome to Arcadia. Enjoy your stay.
