Spring Waltz: Chapter 1

Alright I don't know how many people read my author notes and know of this little site which is a shame, because they will be missing exclusive things like the chapter analysis. So what is it exactly? Well I'll be posting analysis of each chapter.

By doing this, it's a nice little recap and allows the reader to see what went on through my head and look at things they might've missed or not noticed as they read it.

Kudos to you guys who read the author notes because you'll probably get more inside information from the many analysis I'll be doing as well as other more information unique only to this blog. So let's begin!

Chapter 1: Prologue

While writing this story, I totally wanted to do a brand new direction altogether. So aside from it being in first person, and everyone is no longer in that high school stage, I thought what else could I add? I wanted to start it off with a bang! So, I decided to use Kairi and Sora in a wedding plot. I'm not too good at side couplings so having them married got them out of the way haha. But don't worry they'll show up sooner or later again :]

Now it goes into details a bit about their jobs. Well mainly Kairi and Namine's. For Kairi I could just see her as a fashion designer. She's got the spunk for it certainly I think. As for Namine...it was more of a challenge. I did her as an artist, and an aspiring cook in past works. But then artist is so cliche and the girl has to make a living you know? Plus...her kh sketches in the game aren't what I call masterpieces. It's more like a hobby for the girl. So what was artistic for Namine but not drawing? I thought of photography.

Of course I couldn't see her doing that 24/7 so I put her into that cafe situation. It would be a good place to gather characters when needed and she could do photography as a hobby job.

As seen from Stella Nox Dance Studios, and the Destati designer glasses I wanted to make references to the KH world and FF worlds descretely so it wouldn't overpower the main focus but just enough to bring a sense of nostalgia and or recognition into the story.

As for couplings, we've got Sora and Kairi of course. Eventual Namine and Roxas. Namine remarks about Olette and Hayner. She says "I noticed how he greeted Olette first. That was the thing with those two; they could just never admit they wanted to be more than just friends." This shows that they aren't a coupling yet but would be mentioned up now and then.

Don't worry Selphie won't be left out. I have a few ideas for her later on in the story as to who to pair her up with. And no, sorry it's not Riku. It's weird, I can't really see him with anyone...same thing goes with Xion. And no that doesn't mean I'll throw them together since they have no one. Other pairings that I'll introduce into the story would be Aqua and Ventus. I really wanted to include them just because they look so loveable :]

Finally, the ending. It was rather amusing for people to automatically judge that Roxas and Namine would start off with hating each other and eventually fall in love. Quite a different thing really. What it really is more like is [and here's a hint of the future] like/love, hate, and love. What does it mean? Well more to come in future chapters and analysises.

I have many plans and ideas for this story. These little blog posts will certainly help you guys I think since it will point out things that may seem pointless but could be a key role into the story. I messed around with foreshadowing a lot in the early chapters and these will help you to notice what's to come. Well hope you guys enjoyed.

I do allow anonymous comments so drop one and tell me what you guys think!
