Wow... That wasn't just weird, completely OOC (we didn't even got a warning O.o) and kinda disgusting, it's not even well done.

If your wish to leave a "not even well done" comment, I would appreciate better feedback. What exactly didn't you like? What would you do to make it better? What was so disguising about it. Those types of questions. Leaving short clippy responses just makes you seem like a prick. I can understand the lack of OOC warning though.

Alright, I'll do my best to make things a little more clear... I apologize in advance for my english, which might not be the best, because english is actually not my native language.
Well... Let's start with the basics. I can't tell about the grammar and the spelling, but there is one thing I stumbled upon: abbreviations. Well, it aren't many, but as I said: I've stumbled upon them and I personally think they're inappropriate.
Same as these whole bracket-thing. Let's have a look on an example for these. This is a really good one:
"A brunette (country hick) looking girl wrapped her arms around his mate and tried to kiss him."
Why exactly is "county hick" written in brackets? O.ô thing written in brackets can also be left out and as far as I can tell, it just doesn’t makes sense to just leave that out. I mean… “a brunette looking girl”? Same goes for other brackets.
And: Your own thoughts go into an author’s note on the end of the text, but NOT into the text itself. That is REALLY bad style.
Same as marking a point-of-view-change with “Meanwhile on the National Geographic Channel”.
Next point: Logic.
What about that whole telepath thing? Everyone senses everything, Are these guys stolling tuning forks or what?
And WHY for GODS SAKE is Abbie expecting gran-babies from Cloud and Seph? I mean… They’re male. Both of them. It’s biologically IMPOSSIBLE for them to have babies… And Abbie is old enough to know this O.o
But the most important thing on this point is the plot device here. Let’s recapitulate this: Seph plans to go on a fake-mission with cloud in order to confess his love in a ridiculously gay and kitschy atmosphere. But president Shinra actually thinks it’s a real mission and decides to send Zack with them. Uhm… The president actually is Sephs BOSS. How does it comes, that HE doesn’t know about the things the SOLDIERS do? I mean... It’s his JOB to give orders to them, or at least he’s the one to be informed about everything. Come on. This is RIDICULOUS.
But the worst point still is the OOC and the complete ignorance towards the canon.
Thanks for the attention and greetings from Switzerland.
Kokoro

believe it or not I really do appreciate your review, I don't get insightful ones often. Your english isn't bad either! It's better than some native english speakers I know.
What I meant for the "telepath" thing is that they are able to know what the other is thinking without needing to ask. For example, married couple is together for 30 or more years, they are going to know the other's behavior and thought patterns are without being told.
I guess I need to explain the "gran-babies" situation. I know they are gay and incapable of having children. But their are other options, like adoption and surrogate mothers. Either way is fine as far as Abbie is concerned.
Some of the issues you found were due to a lack of insight on my part that I haven't thought of. thanks very much! :happy!:
