Saionji, a Gundam otaku?  Who knew?

Dios?  What happened to him, anyway?

       Well.  Let's see.  In the time that I've spent writing this, Utena
has become vastly better known than it was at the start, thanks largely to
the commercial release of the first thirteen episodes by CPM/Software
Sculptors.  There's been a fair amount of fanfic already, including one
story on just this topic which really pissed me off.  But someone told me
that my story was less wrong than that one, so I'm happy.

Which story was that?  The only other story I've seen in this vein
was Carmen Spray's "Alternity".

       Yes, Nanami *is* my favorite character.  And, yes, I had a lot of
fun envisioning her in Lara Croft's usual get-up, and giving her a line
>from an essay by Harlan Ellison (contained, for the curious, in the
screenplay of "City on the Edge of Forever").

Too bad you *had* to make her an archaeologist, though... when she
first showed up I thought she'd become a big game hunter.  Well, it
would have been fitting....

Thanks for writing yet another fascinating and moving story. I hope
you'll explore the Utena/Together Again connection further in the
future.
