I'll admit I'm a bit of a pick-and-choose ficcer, myself; I rarely ignore a Compilation piece completely, because most of them do introduce a whole bunch of fascinating new ideas, but I've yet to write anything that's fully compliant with all the new canon they've put out. (Curse you, BC, for being so unattainable, and curse me for not being content with scripts.)

For the FFVII community as a whole, I don't think its dissolution and scattering can be blamed entirely on the Compilation, though that certainly did help start things. The vast majority of the authors I follow have shifted completely away from LJ to IJ following the Strikethrough and all that nonsense, and while it's nice that there's still that little group of them all in one place, there really is no centralized community, which is kinda sad. I mean, at least here on LJ we have ff_press to keep things somewhat linked, but there's nothing like it over there. And the fact that we're split across sites now just makes it even worse.

But anyway, as far as CC goes, it's definitely been my favourite piece of the Compilation thus far. Almost everyone I know of who's played it has given it positive reviews overall. It'd be wonderful if this were the game that could bring the fandom back together, but unfortunately there will always be those old-timer fans who despise the Compilation on principle (probably precisely because of the AC thing), so I'm afraid I can't be too optimistic there. :(

It's almost enough to make one yearn for that time when the most divisive issue in the fandom was the Cloud/Aeris vs. Cloud/Tifa shipwar. (Not that I suppose I can really talk about that, being a relative fandom newcomer myself, but still.)

Yes, ff_press was my one piece of sanity in all this. I admire all the work they put into the newsletter. I also saw something on there about trying to round up authors on different boards / websites (I think?). I've been MIA for a bit so I'm just getting up to speed. I'll have to check into that more.

And that's great to hear the game's getting good reveiws.

I'll have to check out the CC comm. It would be awesome-cakes if 1) the game was a hit and 2) the comm allowed FFVII, BC, AC, and DoC fic. Then maybe everyone could gather together in one playground at least.

Unfortunately, I don't like spoilers, so I may have to wait until March(?) to friend it. In the meatime, with all the LJ craziness going on, maybe I'll just head over to InsaneJournal and scout things out for a bit. It was fun chatting with ya! *wave*

No worries.

As an old-timer, it makes me yearn for precisely that on a frequent basis.

I'm an old-timer, and while I agree that some aspects of CC sucked, it was overall a fantastic game and I'm really glad my roommate and I imported it. :D It actually managed to bring me back into the fandom after I'd completely left it, and I'm starting to fic again. So, even with new characters and stupid wings, and Gackt... ILU Crisis Core. ♥
