[Shaman King] Hoshi ga Hoshii desu * Last Author Note / Questionnaire

[lucathia]

After a year of posting HgHd at ffnet (starting 2/21/04), I have finally finished posting this fic on 2/21/05 (if darn ffnet would let me log on!).  This is the longest fic I've ever written in the shortest time that I've finished.  So, quite a record for me. (grins) This is all thanks to the support that this fic has received at ffnet!  If it weren't for all those reviews that I received around chapter 5 or so, I would not have had the incentive to continue the fic and update as frequently as I did!


Big thank you to all these people for reviewing, especially to those who have reviewed so diligently since the beginning!

If I omitted your name, please tell me! Haha, or, if I put you on here twice, please tell me too!

Okay, after the thanks comes the questionnaire that I have for you.  Four questions! It'd help me a lot if some of you answer this!  Short answers are fine too.

1. What chapter of Hoshi ga Hoshii desu was your favorite chapter?  There are 45 of them, so which one is your favorite? 
2. What are your two favorite characters from Hoshi ga Hoshii desu?  I'm saying top two because I'm assuming that most of you would pick Hao/Hoshi and I'd like to know who else other than him that you like!  Here are all the characters you can pick from: Tsuki, Sora, Hoshi (the other one), Tsuki's father (though he never appeared!), Hoshisuke, Yoh, Anna, Manta, Ichi-sensei, Cutter, Ren, Horo Horo, Tamao, Yohmei, Keiko, Mikihisa, Kino, Bason, Manta's classmates in cram school, the young man Hoshi met at the Subway, Macchi, Kanna, Lyserg and Morphine, Ryu, Ryu's classmate (the girl he likes), Ryu's gang, Mari, Faust, Eliza, Jeanne, Nichrome, Silva, Kalim, Goldva, Macchi's nameless coworker, the two senior fangirls in the last chapter, and whoever else I managed to forget at the moment...
3. What do you like about Hoshi ga Hoshii desu?  A somewhat open ended question...
   
4. Would you like to see a sequel or more side stories?
   

Okay, now after the questionnaire, I'm sure most of you are wondering about sequels/sidefics and what not.  Well, I don't have a sequel in mind, though I do have some sidestories I might write.  I've already reposted Bason's Greatest Fear here. If I do write more side stories, I will be posting it under the title "Hoshi no Hikari," meaning Star's Light.  Here are possible side stories that I've considered so far: Hao/Hoshi reading his letters of complaint and paying a visit to everybody to convince them of his good intentions, Hoshi trying to ask Macchi to give him a ride back to Funbari Onsens, Sora, Tsuki, and Hoshi in America before coming back to Japan (that missing year...), what happened to Cutter and Ichi-sensei after the fic, and Hoshi chatting with the dead spirits in the Great Spirits.  Requests for side fics is currently open, so feel free to request a HgHd side fic from me! Actually, I'd be even happier if someone wrote a few sidefics for me...

I'm so sad to see this fic end...I feel as if I'm going to lose contact from all of you after this! So please, keep in contact with me...by reading my other fics too! (smiles) From now on, my new fics will always be posted on livejournal first and then ffnet.  Livejournal is much more reliable in that it doesn't crash as often and I can reply to your comments.

1- I don't know the chapter number, but it's basically when everyone finds out that Hoshi is actually Hao. I was waiting for it forever and then they finally found out!! ^_^

2- My two favorite characters have to be Hoshi and Ren. There wasn't too much of ren, but what there was was good. I liked the whole cat part, that was great.

3- I like tons of things from HgHd, it's really suspenseful. Thats what really kept me going, at the end of every chapter i always had to know what would happen next.

4- i would LOVE to see a sequel and/or side stories!! If you put some up i will definitely read them ^____^

Thanks for answering! Aw, glad you liked what little there was of Ren. He's my favorite character, so I was going to give him some more screen time. But I decided to throw him into his own sidefic instead, though I haven't been working much on that recently. And thanks for liking Hoshi! I'm glad you thought the fic was suspenseful. :)
