Hey, we just had a conversation in which enjoying Things With Length And Plot were mentioned. :D Wall of text is fine.

I want you to know that I now have the mental image of a fluffy white blue-eyed kitten attempting to look fierce as a stand-in for Cloud-in-your-fic.

I like also that things are not going as entirely planned - you pull on one thread, you unravel the tapestry, right. So he's meeting most of his goals but other things are getting fucked up in the process. Which can be very satisfying to read. Or watch.

I'm happy to interrim read, but I can't tell you if your characterization is consistent re: canon. I can probably tell you if your characterization is internally consistent. I can tell you general impressions on atmosphere and timing, that kind of thing. (Also if someone with v. little experience with canon can follow the story...)

You are right. I'm so used to fucking microblogging that I feel like I have to apologize for writing words, haha.

tbh fluffy white kitten attempting to look fierce is basically what Cloud is in this fic. I even did a drawing of tiny kid!Cloud with giant swords looking cute and frustrated because nobody will take him seriously.

Yeah, see, in some time-travel AUs I feel like things are a little... too easy? And the canon is pretty fucked up. So like, I want him to have something resembling a happy ending, but hoo boy is it going to be fucked along the way.

tbh, if you enjoy the fic (because regardless, you do need to enjoy the thing, and follow along with the plot to some extent, otherwise there's really no point), then I'm fine with you checking it for internal consistency. I've got like 500 balls in the air, so having an extra set of eyes would be awesome, if you're willing to try! And I do hope I'm keeping everything moving, but also solving things in a satisfying way.

Um, how do you want to do it, though? Since you have to deanon. I don't know if you have a DW account you can send me a message with, though. Or you could message me on tumblr with an email/preferred contact method? Or if you have an ff.net account, you can message me there?
(and honestly, please don't feel pressured >_> I know I'm kind of dancing like PLEASE DO EET but I have also long ago learned that not everybody will like my fics, and that's okay! See, in continuation to our conversation about important life lessons from writing fanfiction...)

I have none of these things, sadly. Not having a DW is 90% of why I'm anon on FS, TBH. My gmail (and AO3) is cici.nota (actually it might be an underscore on AO3, come to think of it, where you can see a Transformers WIP that has been there for like, four years and this is why the next project was written in its entirety before I posted anything) - toss me the fic and I'll try to look at it over the weekend.

If I end up not liking it, I will be v. v. polite about it, and also try to be constructive. (Though I hope I do end up liking it, it sounds fun, and also I enjoy generally tend to enjoy poking at other people's fiction. Habit developed in childhood.)

Sent you an email! See if it gets to the right place :)

I do hope you end up liking it as well, though like I said, I will 100% understand if not - it can be really tough sometimes to read a fic that's for a fandom you're not into, even if the premise sounds amazing, because a lot of fanfic does rely on some prior attachment to the characters in order to work. So I mean, it could even be something as simple as "this sounds like something I'd be into, but I just can't really muster up emotion for the characters".
