The Insomnia Trilogy

[eclipse02134]

I'm interested in getting the originals. Just let me know how you would like to do it. Thanks.

Sure! If anyone would like the original two parts to the Insomnia Trilogy, just send me a pm with your e-mail address in it and I'll send them to you. The third part isn't finished, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait. ^^

I might be a bit late in replying for this but I think I ought to say what I think. Here goes!

Did the pairings take away from the story? I enjoy writing 39 and 58, but not in sacrificing the plot for their sake.

Yesh they did work out. I find it weird that I only learned to like these yaoi pairings because of your story. And if you might ask, I am a yaoi pairing hater but you've completely changed my view in Saiyuki pairings. And for that I'll have to thank you! ;D

Did Yamei's explanation feel like a information dump to you?

Not exactly an information dump but it did make things clearer and helped me understand the main idea, specially the deal with the legend and Granpa.

Now that I'm thinking about it, how did you guys feel about Yamei? She's the first original character (besides our friend 'Shouri'.) that I've ever created and I was always a little hesitant in writing scenes with her in them. The last thing I wanted was to create a Mary Sue. (shudders)

Don't worry! You didn't have her as a Mary Sue there. You just somehow made her seem like she was part of the anime/manga itself, just like some normal character there for a certain purpose. And besides, you did have her out in Insomia Confrontations in the way they do in the episodes

I tried to be a bit vague at points in order to mis-direct people into believing one thing when something totally different was happening. I.E. the fact that Goku was actually 'dreaming' everything in the first part. Was it too obvious or did I make that work alright?

You made it work all right! I never even realized that when I read it! You confused me there like you did with Goku! Heck, even after reading it again from the start to the part that was revealed, I still can't tell how that went on! I though that 'dream' really occured on Delusions! I'd say you're very good at misleading people ;D

I know the inclusion of Kenji and Ran probably has a few people going 'WTF'. That's the idea. *grin* I actually realized, after going over parts of the story, that I have given away a bit too much information on them. So that'll be re-worked. But what do you guys think about them? It's pretty obvious who/what they are, but I'm curious on your thoughts.

You didn't exactly give away that much information on them though I do get the main idea with them. I'm still a bit confused though

And I have to ask: Who do you think the main antagonist is? It's obviously someone the party has met up with before, I've made that clear. But who could it be? I want to see what you guys think here. I'm interested in knowing how well I'm pulling the end shock factor off. heheh.

Now that you've mentioned it, it's quite hard to tell who the main villain was besides that party. You gave me a big blow though when I read the first chapter of Confrontations. I was quite unnerved to see that HE was trying to kill them even unconsciously. Although if you ask me, I might just say it's that darn sword thingy or whatever's in the sword. I'm still confused on that part.

Well, on more opinions for it, I think you really topped it off quite well, even if there were vague parts. Although it might have just been me not reading properly The bloopers were quite interesting too! Very amusing if you ask me! Now I'm thinking that I should probably do something of the sort...Hehe...although that was your idea Well, I guess I'll have to go though. I hope to see you soon and talk too! Have a nice day! Take care! Ja, mata ne!

Ah, good. Everyone seems to agree pretty much that I wasn't giving away too much or too little. ;D Yay for me! *L* Unfortunately, I don't think I can do the bloopers again, as it seems to be a no-no according to FFN's guidelines. I might be reading them wrong though.

I'll have to check into that. But thanks for the input, Milky!

I'm so glad you have started to post these up again, and I look forward to reading them. I'm just very busy with the children on hols though this time so I probably won't be able to leave regular reviews. Just know that I do read, I do love your writing, and you've not lost me as a reader.

zan out!
