v4.actIX hai kuo tian kong [the wide sea and sky] chang wufei | sally po It's here! The authors' weblog for Sainan no Kekka, so you guys can see what we're working when the world of SnK is hiding behind the webpage during the week. Just what you always wanted, right? For those of you visiting for the first time, Sainan no Kekka is a fanfiction sequel to the anime Gundam Wing. SnK, as it's commonly abbreviated, discards the "canon" OVA sequel Endless Waltz and instead explores an alternate possibility. What if the identity of the Gundam pilots was found out by the general public two years after the war ended? What consequences would this have on the pilots? On the people who considered them to be friends? On the newly developed World Nation and Preventers military organization? Sainan no Kekka is located at http://www.midnightrevolution.org/gundam. We also are mirrored at http://www.gwaddiction.com/gundam/. We update every Saturday with a new part of the story. If you're interested, please drop by! If you're a returning reader, we hope this blog gives you something to laugh at, ponder, or just read when you're bored.

GERALD TARRANT FIC SPOTLIGHT As we are a fanfiction partnership, Quicksilver and I feel that it is only fitting that we introduce some of the great Gundam Wing fanfic works that exist. While Sainan no Kekka is our only GW fanfiction, there are certainly plenty other fics out there that deserve recognition. This column will spotlight one fic a month that we feel embodies the qualities of what makes a Gundam Wing fanfic great.
And the spotlight for MAY is...The Preventer Operatives by Lord Archive This is a decidedly bizarre and humorous short that actually has a lot to do with the SnK universe, though it wasn't written with that in mind. It's during Endless Waltz and Une is trying to convince the newly appointed world government leaders to recognize the Preventers. Much hilarity ensues as she introduces the operatives one by one. But it's the last one that really gets me. XD Read for yourself and see.

transmission |:| STAR WARS!!!!!!!! If you haven't seen Star Wars, GO SEE IT NOW!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!! NOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!And no, this has nothing to do with SnK. ^^;;; But err...yes, the reason we're not posting this week is cause Star Wars came out and I went to camp out at the theatre. I've already seen it three times. *whistles innocently* Darth Vader aka Gerald fed Trowa to a lion at 05:56 p.m.
I'm not sick, exactly. I have arthritis. In my fingers- it makes typing extremely painful. I can't BELIEVE it happened at my age!!! Hopefully it's a one-time thing, but knowing my luck.... quicksilver fed Trowa to a lion at 04:29 p.m. So...yes...we LIVE. Kind of ><;;; QS is sick and I've got finals, but we've finally managed to finish the two sidestories we've been sitting on for a month or so. Reset is mine, an extremely...weird piece about which I'm not quite sure how I feel. While reading it over, QS mentioned that it was extremely weird for me to write using her quotes and parts that she'd written, and it was, in a way. Usually it's she who takes lines out of my parts and uses them. For Reset, I just wanted to show Ilene's death from Trowa's POV. Obviously. But it goes a lot deeper than that and will have repercussions in the last arc. Heero is known as "The Perfect Soldier," but I feel that moniker is given to the wrong person. Trowa is much more of a soldier than Heero is in the sense that he follows orders to a T. I don't believe he understands fully that there is a gray area between the stark black and white of good and evil in war. Trowa sees terrorists attacking a base he perceives is "good," and therefore Ilene in his mind must be "evil." As he put it, she is the stray variable that he must destroy...not even a person. However, as he flashes back to Catherine's defense of him on the TV from earlier in Act 8, he becomes confused. His concepts of stark black and white are being challenged, and it is this that makes him unable to raise his gun to shoot Ilene. Catherine's belief in why Trowa fights, "because it was the right thing to do," is opposite to why Trowa believes he fights, which is because he believes that it is his duty, or perhaps his destiny. Before Catherine, war was the only family he had ever known. During the TV series, Catherine and Quatre have taught him that sometimes there are other things to fight for, but this is an extremely hard concept for him to grasp. I've tried to show this through the side, by having him think of Heero, of Quatre, and of course, of Catherine in his moment of indecision. But of course his duty as a soldier wins out and he fires... Gerald fed Trowa to a lion at 01:46 a.m. Finals suck. So do English papers. gerald fed Trowa to a lion at 06:59 p.m. Will be updating this Saturday with sides, hopefully. Then the last part of act 9, then taking a break until September. ^_^ Gerald fed Trowa to a lion at 04:00 p.m. |
