I do believe the Latias will still make an appearance, just not as the main character. She has a pretty interesting backstory: she's not a robot, but she has some serious cybernetic modifications.
As for that other fic, I'll be sure to read it when you get it out. Sounds interesting from what little you've revealed.
I just started my third quarter of classes on Monday, but otherwise I'm in the same situation.
Fic-wise, I've actually been thinking a lot about Mastermind: I have so many ideas it's not even funny. Lots of science insanity, to be certain. Did I ever tell you that I was originally going to have a Latias be the main character as opposed to Mewtwo?
Ahahaha. Yeah, when I first got here I was like "why can't I change the layout?" Then I saw the names.
By the way, what do you think of this virus that's supposedly going around? Hoax? Legit? I'm not sure myself, but I'm being more careful than usual today.
