But the culture in the kingdom is still pretty underdeveloped but the main problem I'm having is transportation. The main character has powers that enables her to fly, but I don't really know how to get everyone else around, since the entire (2)kingdom is separated in groups of clouds because they can't all just be clumped together. Should I give them some sort of flying machine or something else? Im not really sure what to do about if, because I'm not really good with mechanical stuff. (3)

Hey, thanks for the additional info! The first thing that honestly comes to mind, if the kingdom is separated into a bunch of different cloud-bunches, is that you’re going to need a local governor of some kind for each of the separate cloud-parts, especially if transportation and/or technology doesn’t allow for immediate communication. 

What I would go for, for transportation, depends a bit on the distance being traveled and the tech level. However, being up in the air already could make air travel easier. Something like an airplane could use a shorter runway because it doesn’t need to physically lift itself so far off the ground--it could have a shorter runway to gain speed, then drop off the end of the runway and have enough speed to glide+gain altitude from there. Also, I would assume that the planes wouldn’t need to get really high above the cities. 

Perhaps, if there are some sections that are relatively close and the winds between them are generally consistent, things like balloons or gliders might be viable alternatives? 

One thing you’ll have to consider is how big of a deal it is if someone traveling between cloud-cities gets stranded and is forced to land on the planet below. Could your flying character fly high enough to get back? Could an airplane designed for cloud-hopping make it off the ground? Is the ground dangerous for these people? 

I really appreciate all my reviewers and readers on FFN, and I’ve been wanting to make a post giving a little shoutout to the ones who read/review most often! (Of course, if you’ve ever reviewed and/or read any of my stories, know that I love you, too!)

In alphabetical order:

animelovergirl123 (animelovergirl123, animelovergirl123)

I don’t remember what your first review I read was, but know that I appreciate every comment you’ve made on the stories you’ve read since! It’s fun chatting with you and discussing ideas when they come up! I appreciate the requests you’ve given and I hope to continue talking with you! Thank you!

Ash (Ashlielle)

Ash, I was honestly worried when the first review I read from you said that the story made you feel sick with worry! I had to immediately respond and ask if you were okay, and you didn’t have to read the story if you didn’t want to, though you assured me you were just fine. I love reading your reviews---it’s so fun to see the emoticons you put in, as well as the gift of a delicious pastry and support at the end! You really know how to review a story, and I enjoy talking with you when we can! Thanks so much!

Cassie

Cassie, though you are but an anon reviewer who I sadly cannot get in contact with, I’m happy you’ve managed to find and read my modern-day SanUso and ZoLu fics! Thanks for dropping those reviews!

Icarus (IcarusWing)

Icarus, although I don’t write as much Hetalia as I used to (sadly), I remember your awesome reviews on Dear West and The Good, The Bad, and the Italian! You were the first reviewer for Dear West, and since that was my third or fourth story on FFN at the time, one which I had no idea if people would like or not, I was pleasantly shocked to find your review! And in TGTBATI, I had been wondering if people liked the story, since I was on chapter 8 with no reviews---and then I get eight emails, all reviews from you on every chapter! Despite that I can’t read your reviews as often anymore, I remember the ones you’ve left and they’re just so great! Thank you very much for supporting me!

Lew (somefangirl, some--fangirl)

Lew, you’ve read probably most of my One Piece stories, and the proof is in the favorites! Whenever you drop a review it’s always wonderful to read! I love seeing which parts made you laugh, or which parts were painful to read. You literally made me cry with kindness twice now---in a good way, don’t worry! Thank you so much and I’m glad we’re friends!

Loofah (loofahlover, loofahlover)

Loofah, I love seeing a new review from you! They always make me smile and you always have something good to say---or at least an accusation of heartbreak, which is just as good in my book. I hope we can keep talking, and I hope you enjoy anything else you read by me in the future! Thank you!

Luffys Favorite (Luffys Favorite)

Your love for ZoLu is wonderful, and I’m happy you’ve shown that in favorites and reviews! I love reading your reviews (and I’m sorry I had to explain about Zoro in Fulfilling His Promise)! I hope I can talk with you more in the future! Thank you!

Meta (MetaWolf56)

Meta, I know you don’t read my stories as much as you used to, but I remember your reviews and I love every one of them! I’m so glad you liked the Ib/One Piece crossovers, even if they got dark at times! Your reviews on the supernatural Strawhat stories are awesome, too, and I hope you’ll pick up the drabble story again one day! Thank you for the memories and good luck with your own stories!

Nari (AuthenticAussie, authenticaussie)

Whenever I see that you’ve left a review, follow, or favorite, I kind of... scream? In a good way! It’s so surprising to see someone so well-known leave a review on one of my stories, and I love every review you’ve left! I love seeing you talk about what you liked in the chapter, or how cute Zoro and Luffy were! If you ever read more of my stories, I hope you like them as much as you liked the ones you read before! Thank you so much and good luck with your own writing endeavors!

Naxu (Naxu)

Naxu, I loved reading every review you left on Return to the Gallery---and you left one on every chapter! Your reactions were perfect, though I must apologize if the story actually did make you cry! If you ever read another story of mine, I hope you like it as much as you loved that one! Thank you!

phonenix (phonenix)

phonenix, I’m glad we can be friends! I love your comments on the One Piece stories I write (esp. the ZoLu ones)! The more people to share a passion for a pairing with, the better, right? Thanks for the reviews and the adventure we’re having!

Sera (SeraSearaSpin, noro-noro-noro)

Sera, I love all the reviews you left on Dear West and other Hetalia stories I wrote! Your icon is as amazing as the day I first saw it and it’s a delight to see a new review from you! I only wish we could continue our crack roleplay more often! Thanks so much!

Zan (Zantetsuken Reverse)

Zan, you’ve been reading my stories for so long---take heart, I’ve certainly noticed! I love that you review every single chapter you read; it’s gotten to the point where I see that you’ve dropped a review and just smile in anticipation! Reading your reviews always makes me think of you reading each chapter very analytically, which is much appreciated! Even if I don’t always understand what you’re referencing, it’s awesome to know that parts of my stories make you think of games and books you enjoy! Thank you for being there with me for years!
