[This is part 2 of the repost from the Megami ML.]


Ahhh, part 2 of the fanfic reviews, despite a complete lack
of any response.  Not that that stops me.  Hell, bad responses
don't stop me.  Whip me, beat me, make me write bad checks.

Speaking of which, for Part 2, I thought I'd get all the 
lemons out of the way.  They're there, they're fun (if you're
over 21), and none of them are that serious.  If you're not
a lemon person, stop now.

Onward!



"Keiichi's Bloody Sunday" by David Mou

Perhaps the most unpleasant of the lemons, I haven't seen
the doujinshi on which this is based.  However, the troika
goddess did nothing for me, and as for Keiichi/Megumi...
no.  Probably the least of the lemons.



"Wow! My Goddess!" by Richard Hempsey

Competent.  I'm not an Urd fan.  @

(@ is my symbol meaning "I have nothing against this, but
it didn't grab me.  It pops up a lot.)



"Koi No Tane" by Geir Friestad

Pretty well done.  Nice and simple.  As is this review.



"Divine Passion" by Chan Wei Lik

Probably the best of the lemons, and also the most
explicit.  This is a lemon that is actually conceivable
(how 'bout that!).  Belldandy and Keiichi are well-written.


and now two "sorta in the same vein, but not really":


"Skuld's Magic Trick" by Omega

Skuld needs to seduce Keiichi to get rid of some bugs.
I think.  The whole thing is very vaguely written.  They
could be going out for tea, too.  Very first-drafty. @



"Keiichi's Day" by Paul Starr

Not as bad as the author thinks, this is an "anti-lemon",
i.e. Keiichi and Belldandy spend most of this fanfic *not*
having sex.  Well done, though short.  The fragile feelings
of both participants are captured nicely.


That's about it for Part 2.  Next, the Ranma crossovers, and
Tree of Doom.
