They're both so vague about the time and place that they're set that it's not too huge of a stretch. And of course the canon did it too: not only HataN, but Captain al-Butros's ship and clothing looked an awful lot like those in TLM. <br /> <br />...and even if that wasn't the case, there's a way to say it without being rude to the newbie. <br /> <br />Manday - Sorry, I've kind of ignored your post entirely while responding to others. <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> I'll have to respond again after I've had a chance to read the whole thing.

And the two characters of Prince Eric (TLM) and Jasmine became friends, because they share the similiar life stories of not being free to make their own choices. Both yearn for their own freedom, and are desperately searching for that one person to spend the rest of their life together, even if everyone else thinks that dream person is non-existant. We decided that it would be fun to write an AU (alternate universe) fic where Aladdin and Ariel didn't exist, and Eric and Jasmine meet in Agrabah... <br /> <br />And that's where this story came from. <img src="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Very Happy" border="0" /> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold">Prologue:</span> <a href="http://kitty17794.deviantart.com/art/One-World-Closer-Prologue-75782258" target="_blank">http://kitty17794.deviantart.com/art/One-World-Closer-Prologue-75782258</a> <br /> <br />There's more on the way, I promise. We've written out almost half the story already, we're just beta-ing and whatnot to make sure all the ends meet. ENJOY! <img src="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" border="0" /></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
