Dramata!Kurage: I have no plans on expanding it or continuing it. Ever since my initial falling out with the co-author, I've had no desire to continue the project. While it contains some of my best writing that I am proud of, it's just not something I'd feel comfortable with continuing, unless I did get permission from said co-author to take the story and re-write it into a third-person epic - but I doubt that will happen.

Yuki and Ana solo: As of right now, I've never thought of expanding my stories involving the two outside of short stories, with the except of the now-stalled Yami no Tsubasa. In YnT, Ana was to play a serious role in Val's aging and growing up, to the point that they would have adventures together. I never got that far, though - something blocked me, and I'm still working on smashing that block - but that's probably why I have yet to write an epic staring the two Inverse kids.

Yuki and Ana, their names: I honestly have no clue. Most people think that I got "Yuki" from my own identity, since it's in my login names, but by itself it means "courage" or "snow". When thinking about the two, they just popped into my head fully-formed and with names, and I though, "Oh, okay," and never looked back.

Xellos and Lina, the soap-opera: In both the novels and the manga, Xellos is shown as a conniving little prick who never hesitates to use his powers for whatever he wants. Because he is hired by Phibrizzo to do these things to keep Lina alive, it's no surprise that many people would construe these acts as "obsession". Certainly in the anime these acts are also there, but a little watered-down in terms of deception. However, when watching the series and reading the novels, I interpreted Xellos's involvement for what it was - at first. It wasn't until reading it over and watching TRY that I realised that perhaps there was more to Xellos's keen attention to Lina than just work. Numerous times he opts for incapacitating Lina over killing her, which is curious, considering his history, and sometimes he seems confused by his own actions. It's what ultimately sparked Allure of the Night, and what also brought him to his death. I honestly see no other way their relationship can go: Lina would never take the Pledge, and Xellos would never truly love her.

Is Xellos really dead?: Yes and no. Yes, he's really dead out of the series, but no, he's not really dead from the world. I made it so that Lina actually physically obliterated not just his corporeal form, but any means to assume it ever again. In a way, that's like a real death for a Mazoku, but undoubtedly in my head-canon, he is still alive in a different way. While I have no intentions of bringing him back as of yet, I have no idea what the future will bring. I would never have guessed that two years ago I would have writing a sweeping saga of over a hundred thousand words, so yeah. Who knows?
