May I ask if "A Night at the Gold Saucer" is still being updated? I have been waiting for it. I really like the interaction you described between Red and Barrett, but there are too few such scenes in the game. Then I found your AO3 page and finished reading your story about Red and Barrett.
i'm planning on getting at least one major update to it out, though i don't really know the timeframe on that; things have been kind of rough over the past year or so. there's actually a more substantial (though unfinished) red xiii sidequest in the older, 0.3 version of the game that i'm planning on fully finishing and putting into the 'full' game; that's one of the things i'd definitely want to include in that update.
