Ok. I just read through your outline of what would have happened next (and to the end and all) and as i was reading it i kept going holly crap this IS a monster. I think that if it had been writen up it would have a a FREAKING AWESOME story but even in your outline form (which is WAY more than an outline btw) it was PRETTY DAMN AMAZING. so good work for even coming up with this story and WOW your a better author than i'll ever be.

Wow...It's so long... But it's really good. Great job!

I loved this story very much, and although you switched between scenes when it became interesting, it wasn't annoying because that part was just as interesting.
I hope you will ever continue this fanfiction, because I'm certain I'll read it the moment I have some free time. :)
I enjoyed this story a lot, and I thank you for putting your time into making this.

luff it!

I don't know how you manage to keep the plot clear in your head, it's so complicated I feel like I should be writing out how everyone's linked to each other. And wow, you've explored the Jenova concept so far and *gasp* you've humanized Hojo. Hope this goes off hiatus soon, I'll be waiting. Inspiration and that feeling that sets you writing can be hard to find sometimes.

Okay, so I find this story and read through it all in one frantic sitting, only to discover the hiatus notice. I'm not going to play the angry reader card or rant about how you shouldn't do this to your fans or blah blah blah 'cause I understand that writers block just happens sometimes. I just hope you work through it soon.

And while yes, taking a break from a story is healthy, please just remember that breaking through a writing slump takes work? Don't let this story rot, that would be awful. Have you considered working on it for NaNoWriMo or a challenge like that? Something where the quality doesn't matter, just the quantity. I've found that working like that helps to break down the "my writing must be perfect" mentality - even if I don't end up using a single word of what I wrote for the challenge in the finished story.

So yeah. This story is awesome, and I'd love to read more of it. Hopefully sooner rather than later, but you just work out what you need to work out, kay?

The only reason that I didn't review before is because I NEEDED to read the next chapter. Great story. Hope the Hiatus is successful and that your muses start to get rabid( I know that that is an awful thing to wish upon any writer, I'm sorry, I like the story too much to not curse you with that) and that all else goes as you need it to. Looking forward to the next installment, however long it takes.

awesome

Well, I definitely agree with the NONONONONONO part of your LJ, though I can certainly understand the hows and whys. Life and creative passion are a dissonant mix at times. But I love this story and I really really hope you finish it. Desperately.

I don't feel like you lost any structural talent during the last chapters..

(please note that I am more than capable of being a fairly harsh critic when I feel it's deserved)...

I think with this piece you are stretching yourself thin with all the deviations from the main character set-up, ie.// Cloudiroth (couldn't help myself..sorry) Party - Kalm Party - The Clones of Evil And Angry etc. and all the POV switches. That is impossibly difficult to do, I know, because I've written original stuff like that and it's a killer to the concentration. You end up following your own storyline twenty times over from all the POV's you can imagine it from in your head. I'm surprised we don't all have MPD by now really.

Your characterisations are FANTASTIC...it's definitely something special the way you write them. Convincing, enthralling etc. The way you've done the gradual merging of Cloud and Sephiroth is superb. My biggest surprise was how much I loved your Vincent..Sephiroth is usually my real, standout favourite but you wrote Vinnie so well I couldn't resist! I really respect your talent in writing these difficult, angsty, bubbly, broody, staunch, hyperactive (the list of adjectives goes on and on) etc. but ultimately extremely DIFFERENT characters so well.

I don't think you're having trouble with your actual ability to write. I think your plot, and your actual layout (with its shifts in perspective and location) are what's defeating you. It's difficult to keep up with yourself in stories styled like this, and it's also hard when you need to find a catalyst to through the plot back into it's original path so you can be comfortable with the way it's going again.

It makes me wonder if you are the kind of person that has to write and plan a plot, or if you just have ideas flow, somehow, into the perfect structure and with consistency? I ask because it's almost like you're waiting for something to happen as opposed to bringing it about yourself (I'm more a flow with it and see what happens person...I can't organise a bus timetable never mind a plot). Either way, there are heaps of great ways to start reviving something you feel has died in your mind.

I really really love this piece, I think it's a wonderful bit of writing...I really hope you keep writing because it would be a shame to see this crawl into a whole and die, it's too good for that!

Congrats on a great bit of writing

P.S.
Sorry about the essay >

this fic is all kinds of awesome. it just sucks that it's on hiatus though. oh well, thanks for the writing anyway, it's been great so far! i just hope you pick it up again soon, but i understand if you don't wish to. :)

Hm...I'm rather disappointed that this fic is on a quasi-permanent hiatus, but I understand ^^ It was an amazing ride, reading it all in one sitting.

Amazing work! Despite it not being finished, I love this fic too much to not list it as one of my favourites. I hope someday you can find the inspiration to pick it up...it really was a wonderful read.

Cheers!

Very, very awesome!

Aww...Well, I hope you get around to updating it sometime...Hopefully soon ^^

I really loved reading this fic, it's really awesome! The way the plot flows and twists...Well, yeah. Awesome, awesome, awesome!

WA! Hiatus = bad! But I know what you mean about the whole " I've writen it this far, yet now I can't think of diddly squat to write next"

I love your story it's really awesome and I can't wait for the next chapter!

So when a Summoning is performed, the clones don't know what they're doing? But Zack and Vincent and Sephiroth heard too, right? And Zack and Vincent are also possible Leader Clones too, so wouldn't they have heard it better? So confused! Y_Y

How did Liam get the strength to kill Sephiroth? even for a little bit? Surely Clan Leader isn't the same as the Original? But I can see this is going to be a major problem. It might even be Liam who sets his town on fire next.

Whoohoo! Vincent the strongest leader of the clones? Loved the alacrity with which the kids dropped Zack, but Zack is SO going to get himself killed if he keeps calling Vincent "Vinnie". hehe

Tifa's just downright ridiculous! Being a clone would make Cloud love her? Outrageous!! Someone should shoot her and put her out of her misery. ~`~

Wow! Vincent let Chaos out and they're working together to defeat Liam. Cool! But what about Cloud and Seph? Yeah! That was something to see. What a fight. But it seems that Sephiroth has been diminished a lot. He almost seems powerless, weaker than Vincent. And that's a bit disappointing. Well on to the next chapter! Bye!
