First of all, I've got to say that I've been wanting to read a Seifer-replaces-Squall story for awhile. When I saw this was posted, I thought YES! I felt so sorry for Seifer during the game, I want to see him overcome his own petty desires.
So the first thing I thought after reading your two chapters: Seifer is an ASSHOLE. XD. He's an asshole and I'm having a hard time wanting to even root for him. But in terms of characterization, you've got him down. He's not a lovable character and everything you've had him do so far reflects this: his narcissism, his disregard for his friends and team mates, his objectifying of Rinoa. He doesn't deserve her! He's got a lot of shaping up to do, and I can't wait to see him put in his place. :D
I enjoyed the introspection about the GF's in chapter two. The GFs and junctioning are a fascinating thing. Part of me is also interested in who you paired the others with. I always paired Siren with Selphie, but I almost always paired Zell with Ifrit. But then again, I almost always paired Squall with Quezacotl, so maybe I'm just weird...
I'm interested to see where you take this and where, if at all, deviations occur. I think you've done a wonderful job building a SeeD world sans Squall. I await the next installement! Thank you for sharing this.
