abuseSeveral times when searching for a Final Fantasy 8 fanfiction, I had passed over this one (and many others of the vampire genre, if you could call it that). It wasn't because I didn't like vampires -- I absolutely love them -- I just did, for reasons unknown to even me. Then last night I decided to give a vampire Final Fantasy 8 story a chance and this was the one I picked.

I noticed that a few people commented on Squall being out of character, in the reviews and in your replies to those. True though that may be, I personally really didn't notice it that much because I was too caught up in the story. It's well written, it describes what it should describe instead of going on endlessly about pointless details (for example, I tried reading a novel once that went on for a page and a half about side walks. No joking, no lies.)

The story itself is like gold. It has a really captivating storyline, there isn't really one chapter that is better than the other, but instead eight great chapters (well, seven if you exclude the prologue) that all tie in really well together. The interaction between the characters is very interesting, particularly seeing Squall as having Zell as a friend and being more open with him about certain things.

Of course, like others, I noticed you haven't updated this story in awhile, and I don't expect you to update it instantly after however many months it has been. However, if and when you finally DO update it, even if it is several more months from now, I know for a fact that I will be reading the next chapter, because I really find this story interesting and that it has more of a plot than many of the Final Fantasy 8 stories in general, let alone Final Fantasy 8 vampire fics.

If you do decide to discontinue this, it was a good "seven" chapters regardless.

abuseThe first thing I have to say is that I am not a fan of the vampyre genre. I don't hate it but it doesn't usually float my boat -BUT- this fic is great!

Hell, if I like it then everyone has to like it!

I can't wait for the chapter Predator/Prey! Oh, whats gonna happen!

Good luck with the rest of the story!

abuseHi there!

I thought you were going to FINISH this story. It's been on hold for almost 5 months, and I personally believe it shouldn't be sit to rot being only a fraction of the way completed. I really like this and I'm hoping to see more soon!!

abuseI didn't realise this had been updated until I looked through stories I'd reviewed. This looks good again and more suspence. I can kinda guess who Seifer was talking about but I will keep quiet until you reveal it so that I don't look stupid if I am wrong.

anyway, good story. Update soon!

abuseThis is a very interesting take on the vampire slaying AU for FFVI.
Especially the way Seifer and Quistis are involved in the fic.
I'm looking forward to the next chapter...

P.S. It's really katana and not kitana, you wrote it right once but you went back to kitana later...

You also said that you would portray Squall like the cold aloof person he is but you did not, a really cold person would not speak so easily.
e.g. He gives the vampire information like it's everybody's business, he should keep his knowledge a little more secretive imo. He'll be discovered too easily otherwise.

I know Rinoa has an 'effect' on him but that shouldn't mean that he just reveals everything to her in a short timespan.
e.g. He shouldn't allow her to come to Deling at all, she would only get in his way.
(Being stubborn as she is she might just go anyway of course^^)

I hope I didn't offend you or anything, I'm just trying to help...
