Hey guys, I normally don't do this.... And I have comments to reply to from my last entry... So I know this is going to seem weird and unusual for a journal.  I actually should make it a poll... but polls often go unnoticed or rarely strike up conversations.  I got bit by the writing bug today!! Actually it's been nibbling at me for a few days this week but every time I open Dyme and the Dozen I just sit and stare at it and I can't get anything down on paper.

But... a neat little idea struck me... but I just wasn't sure if people would want it since Dyme is technically AU now.  It's the sort of thing that could be added to the plot and make it a bit better... but not so important that I couldn't just chop it off and forget it.  So its a minor plot point, something to fill Axel's time for a moment, give him someone to vent to other than his own head and a spaced out Marluxia.

What if I were to add Xion?  Should I add her?  Technically she is one of the nobodies of Organization XIII...  The only reason I didn't have her planned for this story was because I started writing Pain in the Axel way back during KHII.  I know her game, 358 Days, sort of shot my whole fic universe in the foot with the timelines... but I think I can still make it work and make it believable.

So like I said... it's not an important plot point.  I could leave it out and it would not effect the grand plan I have laid out before me.  But it would fit in so terribly nicely.  She's like a shadow, you know, she fits in so beautifully... yet... it seems like she was never there.  I just wanted to get some opinions from my readers.... I know there's a terrible Xion hatred, but I also know that there are many that love her....  She wouldn't be in it for long.  My point with her is that she's been on a mission... she's just going to show up long enough to help Axel's story line through just a little bit.  (since he's what I've been stuck on all this time.)  I can do it without her.  But she would be an interesting addition in my opinion... I just want to see what you guys thing as well.

All things aside, I'm just giddy that I'm writing!! I'M WRITING!! FINALLY!!! it's been what... months... many months.  (And I will answer all my comments from my last entry guys, I just need to get some writing done while the inspiration is with me.  I just want to send hugs to everyone that has been so encouraging! Thank you!)


Edit and warning for possible spoilers in 358/2 Days

So I had to stop and get my ducks in a row here... do a little research to refresh my memory and make sure I had her personality right.  Since this is pre-Castle Oblivion.. because.... no.  I will always write about Marly and gang so just... no post-castle for me.  hurr hurr.  Anyway... since Dyme takes place before the happenings of Chain of Memories there is the issue of how quiet and doll-like Xion is.  Don't get me wrong, I will write this out.  I love this idea for her and the whole setting I have in my head... I'm just not sure if it should be part of Dyme or it's own little one shot that could connect into Dyme.  She is, at this point of the story, very quiet and severely lacking in the personality department (yes, I refuse to accept that literal days time-line but I will accept the plot line for the game)... She blends into the background and she's easy to forget basically.  But she would be an interesting addition if done right.

So we'll have to see if I can make this interesting and not mess everything up.  I'll write it up, but like I said, I may not make it part of the chapters.  Sort of like that Dark Chapter I tacked on to PitA...

Anyway thank you guys for all the comments and help working this out!! This is inspiring so I appreciate it very much!!
