again i see archer changing that.

Changing what?

And, I do think it's better that Sakura's role remain secret until it's revealed to them at the end. It has more dramatic potential that way.

[lantzblades]

ok then.

[Cherry Lover]

ok then.

Yeah, I would like her to have a role in the story prior to the end, though. That's why I'm a bit unsure about how late you're leaving it.

[lantzblades]

well it's the fact that the story is what we make it, i'm not terribly interested in the grail war, it's just a common clear staring point.

Well, perhaps, but I would like Sakura's role to be reasonable in the story, and the Grail War is going to cover a large part of that story, if not all of it.

In particular, I'm not sure what would come after it, at least in terms of the main story itself.

[lantzblades]

the grail war would be the opening fic as basis for the open world story writing.

Well, yeah, but if that's the only directly collaborative one I would like Sakura to play a decent role in it.

[lantzblades]

for the time being yes it would be. define decent please.

[Cherry Lover]

Well, similar to Rin, Shirou etc., and not just as background scenary or someone who needs rescuing....

[lantzblades]

shirou is a moron whose neuroses force him to fight, Rin is similar if less stupid.

Yes, sure, the point is that I want Sakura to have a similar level of involvement in the story to them, or at least to not be far behind.

The reason I wanted her to retain Rider initially was because I couldn't see any other way for that to happen. The idea of Kotomine stealing Rider would work, but it seems to come at the expense of Sakura having any involvement whatsoever (aside from as someone to be protected) for the vast bulk of the story.

[lantzblades]

she can but i'm not sure why it has to be combat as involvement.

[Cherry Lover]

she can but i'm not sure why it has to be combat as involvement.

I'm not asking for her to fight directly, but she does need to be involved in the war in some manner, because there really isn't anything else going on at that point.

[lantzblades]

indirect involvement is very possible, manly on the character building side of things.
