I have major cravings/plot bunnies for a Young (but in SOLDIER) Sephiroth/OC pairing, because I have a thing for fics where you find out sane Sephy is actually a bit of a sweetie. But unfortunately I can't find a SINGLE one (does anyone know of one?) >.<
Sephy/Cloud pairings tend to p**s me off, especially when I read something that could've worked FINE as just a Sephy nameless/faceless person, but they had to make it into Cloud at the end.

SOLDIER Third Class
The use of words expressing more than that of their literal intention! Now that. Is. Irony.

I read an AMAZING Aeris/ Seph fic that just blew me away. I nominated it, it's called Path of Seduction. You should give it a once over if you're sceptic about psycopath Sephy shippings.

2: Vincent loves WOMEN! It's just hard to imagine him turning gay after he angsts over a woman for a few decades. 3: Like Vincent, Cid prefers women. If he was into guys, why would he marry Shera? To number two, exactly! He's obviously besotten. The absolute most he could be would be bi. Even that's stretching it a little, in my opinion. Regarding number three, not to defend people who make Cid gay, BUT sometimes gay men marry women so that people don't think they're gay. However, Cid clearly loves Shera, so... I don't think that argument holds up. =)

Just got one: Vincent Valentine is not a vampire![/b] [/quote] Dang, I forgot to add that one to my commandments. It drives me up a wall when people call him a vampire. There's no way he could of turned into a vampire unless Hojo somehow did some vampire blood transfusion or something, but offical FFVII sites or interviews would of mentioned it.

Vincent isn't a vampire (I believe I read something from Nomura about it, but I could be totally off-base. I can't find it for the life of me, I was gonna cite it), but I think vampire jokes about him are hilarious, as long as they're jokes and not, you know, serious. Good commandment, though. ~Tasha

For example, one AeriSeph fic I read actually managed to pull off a relationship between them, during the time Sephiroth was on his quest to destroy the planet. (The World Is Not Enough, by Sulphurya.) Actually, I took a look at that one and I thought it was a little... unrealistic, to put it one way. I mean, first Aeris goes to Sephiroth all like "Hi! What's up!" (like he hadn't just killed her or anything), and then instants later (once Seph's gotten over his OOC terror at seeing Aeris alive and kicking), he's suddenly like "Okay, so I'll bring you along with me even though I have no real reason to do so and you're my enemy." Yeah, sure. Of course, it might get better after the first chapter- that was just my immediate impression. Which leads me onto another commandement. - If you must do Aeriseph fics, don't make the plot that Aeris has been sent back to redeem him, or he has to guard her against some new evil. Just... don't.

Seriously?? That is an EXCERPT?? WTF- when will some people understand what plausibility and being in character actually means??
Sephiroth could be paired with anyone if you want to get technical- I'm talking about PRE-INSANE Seph, that is!
His sexuality isn't officially determined. Nomura and the boys at Square left the subject open for interpretation intentionally when someone officially asked him about it during a Q&A session for one of the Ultimanias. Not only did he pretty much dodge the question, but he actually changed the subject completely. I'll post the quote on here after I remember which thread it's on at ACF. ^_^

Ah, that wasn't the an actual excerpt, Lady V- if you're wondering, this is what actually happens when Aeris shows up:
So basically, "Hi, wassup Seph?"
And then, not ten lines later:
... Buh? So basically, Aeris utters a couple of cryptic remarks about Sephiroth 'not being able to succeed' and suddenly he lets he accompany him? This, while ruining the plot, would have been more realistic, I think:
Giving a faint nod, the girl held his eyes calmly with hers, "I did die. My heart stopped to beat and I ceased to breathe. Your sword stole my life." Shadows flickered over her features as the fire danced in the darkness of the night, and everything seemed to grow colder. "But it wasn't my time, Sephiroth. You are disrupting the Lifestream and the ways of Nature. So... I was returned."
Sephiroth thought for a moment about this.
"I see," he said. Then he killed her. Again.

Here is a fun one
Barret does not constantly use ebonics or slang.
Honestly, some of the fics with Barret in them are laughable and not in a good way. It's just Barret acting like a stereotype saying things like foo' and bling. I don't think I remember hearing him saying that.

Or, to rephrase that:
-Barret =/= Mr T.

Thanks, Sylla, dear. I think your interptretation was indeed much better. I can't see it- Seph/Aerith?? No way.

To me, Barret's slang kind of strikes me as the kind that uses some words like foo' often. He doesn't heavily use it. I believe he uses at least foo's every now and then. Then again, I don't know Barret that well.

My Barret has a problem with completely words. I've already have an idea to fix this with him, because tifa doesn't like ti that much.
Hehe.
Oh, another commandment- Thou shall not fight meaningless over who is more canon, tifa and cloud or Aeris and Cloud. Neither are: we all know it's Zack and Cloud.

Heehee
While I too am a proud fanatic of Zack/Cloud; I also adore Zack/Aerith and Cloud/Tifa. I'm also okay with Cloud/Aerith and Zack/Tifa... not to mention Tifa/Aerith... As far as I'm concerned it is literally one big happy love square....
I like the way Barret talks; in the original game and in AC and in DoC too- well, what little we see and hear of him there... ^_^
