    Well, I finally finished doing a count-up. Instead of changing the font to what I said earlier, I left it at Tahoma 8pt. It looks better anyways.

    So, here's the comparison in length of his 3 main stories:

    Wedding - 150
    Triple M - 70
    Switched - 53

    Yup. Wedding is more than twice the size of Triple M, and nearly triple the size of Switched. The only reason Triple M seemed longer is because you, like most of us, read Wedding and Switched update-by-update, not all at once. I had a feeling Wedding would be longest, but even I'm surprised at just how long it really is. And he's not even done with any of them!

    ... If I wasn't this guy's girlfriend, I'd totally be a creepy stalker chick who needs to find a new obsession. ^^;

    What really surprised me was that Switched was so small in comparison to Wedding. My initial theory was that they would be about the same length since they usually get grouped together as his two main stories. After considering the results, I realized that Wedding was started before Switched, so it got a head start. However, that head start alone isn't enough to account for the drastic difference.

    Another factor is that battle sequences are much more detailed than every-day life scenarios. Well-written battles simply require more text to successfully communicate the action that's going on. More text means more pages.

    But these two reasons don't explain the difference in length between Wedding and Triple M. As far as I know, Triple M was started before Wedding, and it had its fair share of battle scenes. This one I'm a bit unsure on, but I believe it may have been because Wedding actually focuses on two groups: Kairi/Namine fighting the Organization, and eveyrone else trying to find them. Writing for two different groups obviously would take up more room than just focusing on a single group of main characters.

    Yet another factor to consider is that DF himself said it was easier to write for already established characters than his originals. When something is easier to write, one is likely to be able to write more of it in a shorter period of time. Remember in the beginning when DF used to update Wedding almost every single day? The update speed quickly and easily made up for Triple M's head start over Wedding.

    The last factor I present to you that affects DF's stories, is me. With the addition of a girlfriend in his life, his main focus is no longer on his stories, but his adorable cutie. Even though I feel slightly guilty for delaying his updates, I'm still glad I've gotten to know him in the way I have.

    You may be wondering, "Why this huge post all of the sudden?", or "Why should I even care about why this guy's stories are the way they are?" As for the first question, I blame three things. First of all, I reread all of Triple M this morning. Second of all, I've been reading Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond. Think Repliku with 25 years of research taking steroids and writing a book. My third and final reason: I miss DF very muchly.

    Second question, I don't care if you care, but I've been wanting to make a Repliku-sized post for over a year and a half, and I finally found a topic that interested me enough to be able to write this much about. I feel important! :'D

    :<3: you all.

    Hahahahaha! XD I remember one time I posted a post something informative like yours, but it was nowhere near as large as yours. i think it's still in this thread somewhere. I was theorizing on Axel's health if his internal body temperature was higher than normal because of the fire. But those are some pretty good facts.

    Spelling you say? Why, mine's so bad, I have to use a spell-check in the browser. Of course, because I require one in the browser, it makes my spelling rather good. The only problem is irritating US spelling.

    I looked at your post....then I looked at your sig....>_>....and a particularly angry pikachu looked out across the internet at me. Staring into my soul. Ahem.....anyway. yes. US spelling is different from British spelling. So sometimes I get confused as well. I remember I used to be so confused by how to spell color. Because I also knew that you could spell it colour. And for some strange reason grey and gray never confused me as much.

    I don't remember. I'll try to remember to ask him, but there's a possibility I might not talk to him until like, Wednesday. x_x;;;

    Someone distract me from the fact that I haven't talked to DF today and my computer's broken so I'm stuck with this crappy laptop until it can get fixed. We thought it was a problem with the fan, $10 fix, easy switchout, back up in five minutes. Wrong. Turns out it's the freakin' motherboard. THE MOTHERBOARD. Do you know how freakin' expensive those are? x_x

    And I miss my Squishy... D:

    You can use home insurance on a computer.. but I thought he meant more of a warranty.
     
  16. The DeepSkyBlue bold user name distracts me ;P.

    Well, no, not really. Didn't you post it in the fanart section?

    No, back then I wasn't so concerned with saving my stuff...so I first threw the **** paper away, then deleted her. I am ashamed...
     
  18. SUPER GLOMPS!

    Damn, that sucks. You mean, you erased it from the Image site you uploaded it on and stuff?

    Larxene's gonna rape you!

    No, it was uploaded in my photobucket. I'd gotten rid of it along with a lot of other stuff...including the picture of Axel I was working on since I can't seem to locate it anywhere e--Crap...Now I'm gonna die. I better go hide under my box. D:
     
  20. Why would you get rid of all your art? You should always keep it, in case you will ever need it. I never like to throw my stuff because of future regrets. And yeah, I remember that you said you were going to make a fanart of Axel that I was going to se-
