This is by far the coolest genius of occurances that take place durring the game that we never see. That I've read anyways. Cool like Trabia!;)

Haha, well you've officially turned the training centre into Jurassic Park. :)

I really liked this, especially Quistis & Rinoa's little spat, and the scene were Rinoa and Squall where hiding from the rexaurs. You had me smiling the whole way through. I think I might go check out your other stuff now. Nice job.

Your Squall really is intriguing.

Absolutely fantastic. its been 3 months since I first read this on another site, but I still enjoy reading this story immensely. I only wish this had been put into the actual game! This would have added greatly to the dynamic of the two, and made things better. It is very hard to improve on a game as vast and complex and great as FF8, but you managed to do it seeminly effortlessly

Aw, gee, that was really fantastic. I thought I’d be so sick of FF8 fanfiction by now, but when people like you come up with such amazing stories as this, it’s very difficult to resist. I didn’t accept your portrayal of Rinoa, but as the story continued, the little bits fit into place and I quite admired Rinoa in the end. Squall was fantastic, though. You didn’t have all his barriers crumbling in an instant – indeed, they didn’t crumble much at all – he stayed true to his solitary prickly self throughout the whole story. One thing I really hate is when people have unrealistic characters, and I am very thankful that you have avoided that. I haven’t mentioned Quistis yet, but that is because she didn’t stick out so much. This seems familiar ground here, as everyone seems to know that whatever anguish she put herself through for Squall, Quistis realises in the end that she does not love him in that way. So I guess you traced a familiar path very well. Actually, I can’t recall anyone doing it so well… Anyway, congratulations – you have authored an amazing story.
Wishing you Motivation, Inspiration, and Luck!

Hey!

I really liked this story, it was very in character and the fighting scenes where well described. :) I really don't like Quitis stories, I just don't get on with her at all ;) But I must admit I did feel rather sorry for the poor girl and it was very interesting reading about her. And the card thing was very brillant and orginal! I was desperate at the end to find out what the cards were and I was grinning when I did but also feeling a little lost? is that the right way to desribe it?

I noticed some people saying you should right a sequel but wouldn't that be going in to Game time? I personally think you should leave it as it is, I like that touch of mystery. It's a nice fill in for the game seeing how Rinoa and Squall get closer.

Only 8 days till christmas! WOOHOO!!

This story was so great. I read it about twice! The Queen of Hearts. The Ace of Spades. Know your enemy. Know yourself. That was so cute, and how Squall would know a card trick like that? Hm, I wonder... Well anyways, even if this was meant to be a one shot please make more! This was quite a long fic, too. I can see that you write with your heart.

Nice! A very well written story. Nice ending.

There!Someones done it!Squalls spot on.Rude, introverted and cold.Perfect...well not perfect that he's like that, but perfect as to how you've described exactly how he is.I like it when Rinoa says how she can't attract a certain predator and Squall pulls the trigger in shock...classical,I laughed so hard.Sort of a sad ending in a way(but we all know they hook up so thats ok)Blessed Be.

The training center! Not that damned training center!

...Seriously, though. I think this is my new favorite fic of yours. The ending was just perfect. ^^ And Quistis is always a plus. =P

Wow, a very... hmm.. interesting story. It's pretty long, but it's still mysterious. I love the fighting scene; I have trouble writing those things myself. And the mystery... it's really amazing how you can make such an obscure time really seem so important. Great job, and I want to see some more work from you!

That was so beautifully written. So true to each of their characters. Quite amazing.

i have to admit, this is a great story
plz keep writing

This is very good. I like the way you write and how you keep the interest alive in this fic...I hope to see good work from you in the future.
