Spring Nicht
FAQ
This is where I will answer questions related to Spring Nicht either asked in reviews or in the Forum on this site.
When an answer contains spoilers, I will do my best to label them appropriately. I will use the following abbreviations:
KH=Kingdom Hearts I
KHII=Kingdom Hearts II
CoM=Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
SN=Spring Nicht
Yes! I've gotten a lot of support from my reviewers to write a sequel. I've written a prologue and done a bunch of character outlining for it. The sequel will be called Ich Bin Nich' Ich.
Ich Bin Nich' Ich will focus more on the relationships between the characters, especially the romantic ones. Spring Nicht was centered more on Axel's plan to overthrow Xemnas, but this plot unexpectedly overwhelmed and took precedence over the romance in the story.
The sequel will take place in a present-day college environment. It will explore the lives of the Kingdom Hearts characters as if they had grown up as normal humans--they will have classes, form friendships, develop romantic relationships, and so on. A different kind of character development will take place in this story as a result of this new environment.
All Organization XIII members will appear in the sequel.
Axel and Roxas will be main characters again. In the sequel, however, Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Naminé will play bigger roles, along with Leon and Cloud. I expect Zexion, Demyx, and Marluxia, will also play major roles.
I also plan to include some non-KH Final Fantasy characters in minor roles, such as Reno and Rude from FFVII. If you're not familiar with Final Fantasy characters outside of Kingdom Hearts, don't worry--I will be sure to include notes about the characters at the end of the chapters in which they are introduced.
And, of course, I don't mind being asked questions in e-mails or reviews! I'm always happy to give additional explanations.
You can expect that most of the main pairings that appeared or were implied in Spring Nicht will also be the same in the sequel. The inital pairings, however, may differ from what will come later on in the story.
Eventual pairings:
Axel/Roxas: a lot of you wanted to see more of this in Spring Nicht. You definitely will in Ich Bin Nich' Ich!
Riku/Sora: you didn't get to see Riku and Sora interact until the last few chapters of Spring Nicht. They'll both take a much earlier appearance--within the first couple of chapters.
Zexion/Demyx: this implied pairing will be a lot more than implied in the sequel. ;)
I have a bunch of other pairings set in my mind...but they'll be surprises! :D
