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 black 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 Friday 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.

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 OCTOBER is...VENDETTA FOR THE FEY by Hope of Dawn.

Category: dark fic
Type: oneshot
Canon: possibly ^^;
Shounen-ai/yaoi: no

October is probably the creepiest time of year, so it's time to chose a fic that could give you goosebumps. October's fic of the month is Vendetta for the Fey by Hope of Dawn.

Not all roads lead to happy endings, and Vendetta for the Fey offers one of the possible outcomes of the probable genetic manipulation of the GW pilots. It's a rather short fic, and saying too much would spoil it, but it's definitely worth a look if you like the darker possibilities.

This fic features Dr. J, the pilots, and Treize Khushrenada himself. The writing is smooth, with enough technobabble to satisfy the viewers who need justification without overwhelming a layman. Familiar characters have been turned on their head in frightfully possible ways, and it can make your head spin to contemplate this possible reality. While not a traditional horror tale, it certainly fits in well with this time of year.

Would anyone hurt me if I just SAID how the story ended rather then wrote it?

KIDDING GER!

*humming merrily* Kimi no Mystic Eyes..... As I'm sure you've seen, we've been good lately. Act seven is a rather slow act for me- lots of build up, but that's cause Act 8 looks like it's gonna make my head spin!

We actually haven't had that much FB- we had a couple great letters, though.... and one really strange one that kinda freaked Ger-bear out....

Anyway, 7.1 should be up this week. It has.... Une, Shinobu, Catherine and Wufei!

*still humming* Bury My lovely.... Hide in your Room..... That's it- I'm never letting Ger talk to me about soundtracks again!

Those of you who have read the end of Act 6 are probably wondering on one hand what the HELL I was thinking and on the other hand probably plotting to kill me.

Without putting any spoilers here, I will say that that last section was one of the hardest things that I've written in a while, but I have my own reasons for it. They'll be explained further in next week's posting, the SnK Author Mission Logs.

The Betrayals Arc page has been posted with cool scene titles, and we're excited about the next Arc. If you readers decide to stay with us, that is, after what I err...did at the end of Act 6.

^^;;;;

At least the design of the blog makes sense now...right?

I'm very happy!!!!

I just finished my first section for SNK for this week's update. It's Sally's, and it's called "Not a Laughing Matter". It will replace "Enter the Snakes" since the original title really didn't fit. The section starts out humorous, but quickly turns political. Ger says he doesn't get one of the discourses (remember, I'm the politics SNK authors, Ger gets the military), but I assure you the entire reasoning is sound.

Actually, I'm really excited now. For the first time since "The Siren Song of Zero" I feel really GOOD about one of my sections. Usually Ger's writing overshadows mine -I will freely admit Ger is the better writer- but for this act, I'm doing my damnest to not let it down. This is one of the pivatal places- we have another two arcs to go, but this is the end of the Relics arcs. The ends of the Arcs are always important. There's transition needed.

Anyway, I think I might start on the final section tomorrow night. It was originally slated to be Chris's, but that might not be best. I'll sleep on it.

*smils happily* Been tormenting Ger bear today! While I write SNK, it's one of my FAV past times! Witness:


Gerald: actually, i need a new domain name
Quicksilver: why?
Gerald: cause i need a new domain
Gerald: XD
Gerald: three is not enough for me!
Gerald: i must have four!
Quicksilver: *sighs* How about darkflight.com
Gerald: .......no
Quicksilver: *g* sainannokekka.org?
Gerald: ...............
Gerald: nooooo
Gerald: *dies*
Gerald: XD
Quicksilver: genkichildrenontrains.com might still be available....
Gerald: *DIES*
Quicksilver: gacktsspleen.net?
Gerald: ......
Gerald: i need to call my mom
Gerald: brb
Quicksilver: LOL
Quicksilver: mommy.com!
Gerald: ........................
Gerald: QS!!!!!
Gerald: *thwaps*

Sometimes I swear Ger has no sense of humor..... That was funny, wasn't it?

Anyway, I have two sections this week- Chris and Sally. Sally has been started (I'm ahead of myself) and Chris is two sentences!

date |:| Monday, October 22, 2001

Well, there's some problems and some good news- what do you want first? ^_~ The good?

We're back on track. Ger has completed a really neat section. I'm a page into my section (I only have one this week!) so it looks like the update will be on time this week.

Then there is the mixed news... I've gotten a new job, but it's going to require long hours- I'm not sure if that'll interfere or not.

Finally there is the lousy news- my keyboard is breaking down, methinks- the E key is hardly working, and I have to go back and add E's constantly.... we'll try to catch everything, but my spelling is hardly the best...

New layout for the blog! Actually this went up last night (early this morning, however you want to look at it) but I'm only blogging now because QS is nagging me about it. As usual. ^_~

I finished Darkflight's section for the act today...most of this act is very introspective, as you might have noticed. Not much action happening, but there's a lot of character development that needs to occur before the plot can move on, and I think we're accomplishing it in this act. As QS said below, a lot of the minor characters, such as the Cliffside Heights gang, are very static, so we're fleshing them out to become real people. Though I'm very pleased at how dynamic Atsuki and Darkflight have become.

Something I want to bring up is the topic of shounen-ai between Heero and Darkflight...a couple people have been commenting on that. As SnK and GW in general is a non-shounen-ai anime, at least on the surface, I do not mean in any way, shape, or form to remotely even interpret or write Heero and Darkflight's relationship as shounen-ai. However, there exist different interpretations of GW as a series, and some interpretations involve looking at the relationship between the pilots in a different light. I leave that facet of interpretation up to you, the fans. All I want to do is to show that Heero and Darkflight are good friends.

As Part 2 has been posted, the Relics Arc is moving towards its conclusion...the next arc is going to bring all sorts of bedlam and turn everything you thought you knew about SnK upside down. Are you ready? ^_~

transmission |:| and miracles do happen...
date |:| Sunday, October 21, 2001

Well, we've updated. I'm actually rather pleased- this section came out so much better then I thought it would- it has a nice balance of Ger's rather depressive style and my ironic humor and interest in human relations.

I hope this part helped people understand the Cliffside Heights gang more and make them seem less "static". I'm always worried about that. Aside from Darkflight and Atsuki, most of the originals are still pretty flat, and that's not a good thing. They each have their own personality and motivation, and this should become more evident as the third Arc hits.

Sorry for being late updating, but as I told Tomahawk-kun when he wrote, I wasn't ready on Thursday and Ger was gone on Friday. Ger has a life. Scary scary thought.

Enough teasing. I think the next part is going to be good, and I KNOW the end of the Act (and Arc). The next Arc up has finally been named- it's called thee Betrayals Arc, and we're sure some of you will like it. Hopefully most of our readers will keep with us as we descend into the darker side of human nature....

Next section is something I'm looking foward to- I only have one character to write- it's either Quatre, Sally or Chris (it depends on how we arrange the act- Ger tends to be more concrete then I am).

Anyway, we welcome FB, and one of us always responds to Email. Just out of curiousity, would anyone like me to open up a Forum on a Message Board to discuss SNK style things? Ger and I love discussing our own little playground, especially with readers. We've found that our readers tend to be among the move intelligent GW fans. ^_~
