I...
am....
Key.

Please, forgive Key.  Key is not used to words
like... "I"... and... "me"

Key... is not used to being... human.

And that's what's been running around in my head these
past few days, folks.  Loud enough to drown out any thoughts
about Greenwood or Pencils or anything else.  Crazy, huh?

It's supposed to be a stretching exercise... Key narrates,
in "Flowers For Algernon" style, her journey toward humanity,
gradually dropping the robotic, third person syntax for a 
relatively breathless words-and-ideas-are-simply-pouring-
out-of-my-head persona that she might be as she experiences
her own humanity; something like falling in love for the first 
time, dontcha know... so exciting and all that.  But as she felt
the pain of her life and those around her, I was going to have 
her decide that being human is too painful, and slowly retreat
back into the original robotic syntax before fading out.

I love the idea... but I'm stuck.  I still haven't figured out if Key 
really is a robot or just a girl who thinks she is.  What I'd really
like to know is where I can find synopses of the last half
(i.e., versions eight thru fifteen), so I can study up and do 
this properly.

Of course, maybe this isn't worth doing in the first place; in 
which case, I'd like to know that, too.  But it seems Key (the
series, not the girl herself) is much like Greenwood, popular
enough to command readership, but sparse enough to preclude
writers from takling it.  Any discussion on that?

Let me know whatcha all think, ne?

Itsu mo,
