Ah, it’s always good to see a returning reader! Welcome back, and I’m glad that you’ve been enjoying Mirror Adventures so far.
As an overall note, I’m also happy that everyone seems to appreciate Daisy and Leaf being here. They do often pop up a lot in anime-based fanfiction (Leaf especially), but I wanted to write them in something that‘s a bit closer to actual anime canon (even as it’s, again, not a direct play-by-play of anime canon except with mirror characters). Daisy in particular was going to be quite different from how she ultimately turned out, with her current incarnation actually being a very last-minute change. (And I’m pretty sure that everyone else would’ve have, haha… one of these days I’ll have to post some behind-the-scenes stuff so that I can show her what she could’ve been). Both her and Leaf are going to be going through some serious character arcs throughout this story, and you’ll already kind of see the first seeds of those being planted for Daisy and Leaf in Chapters 3 and 4 respectively. And later chapters will be quite the rollercoaster ride for one of the two especially.
As for the scene break thing, I’ve been playing with that for a while, actually. I believe that there’s an official “line break” function here, but that’s boring; asterisks have character, haha! How I’m currently doing it probably isn’t ideal in the spacing department, admittedly, but I tried adding spaces in-between previously and I found them to be too extreme for my tastes. Perhaps experimenting in BBcode will provide a more satisfactory answer to this (I’ve found it especially useful for… other projects that I’ve been working on here, let’s just say).
Finally, as for what’s in store for you in later chapters, all I’ve got to say is that you’re in for one hell of a ride for some of the crazier chapters that are coming up, and that there will plenty of world- and lore-building that I imagine might really be interesting for someone like you. You seem to really like the character aspect of Pokémon in particular, and I’ve got ideas of them in spades here, being someone who enjoys seeing lesser-known characters get the spotlight especially. If you’re familiar with XY-era character lore in particular, you’ll be in for a real treat here (although you can be sure that characters from all sagas are going to be represented well here). I hope to see you around here again soon in any case!
