Hello morig...

Hmmm... I think Urusei Yatsura has its fill from Fred Herriot
(fherriot@hotmail.com) with his story-line called "UY-The Senior Year" and ist
sequels, Sidestorys and continoues (UY-TIY, UY20YL).
I also think that Freds lemon fanfics for the UY universe ("Remarkable Destiny"
and "The Galatea Syndrome") are have it in them to be called one day a "Classic
Fanfic". ___
Hmm... I dunno, I've read very Little of TSY, I know it's been around forever, but
I know a LOT of UY fans hate it. I started reading RD and TGS and really didn't
like them much at all, to each his own I guess. UY: TSY seems ok, but when I think
classic, I also mean the trendsetters. I dunno as there isn't a lot of UY stuff out
there in general, but some of the older stuff seems mroe appropriate. I really wish
I would have gotten some mroe responses, as it stands I have gotten about 3 at
most. I can do what I think are classics, but I do want people to be more involved.
Anyone out there have anything to add?
