Did my server miss a post, or was Lurker's original reply private? If it
was, shame on Aishuu-san.

Postcognitive is past, precognitive is future. I'm not sure 

there IS a 

term for dreams of the present.

Sure there is. It's slipping me, but someone else will surely 
chime in... nudge Richard? Or is there some other grammarian 
on this list? What is the right prefix to indicate the 
present? I'll kick myself when I hear it...

Someone said "clairvoyant", but clairvoyance is also used for both pre- and
postcognition. 

Uh-oh.... ^^;; That scares me for some reason. Why do I get the 
feeling that something BAD is going to happen to all of the

above?

*shrug* Search me. The worst that'll happen is that they're never 
mentioned at all. I don't do the "random kill off 

characters just to 

get them out of
the way so I don't have to write them" bit. That's piss-poor
writing.

Hmmm.. but I rather feel that ignoring them is a mistake as 
well, since they're such a big part of Sakura's world-view. 

Not having seen CCS, I can't comment much on that angle, but having Sakura
miss/not miss some of the characters she's left behind is enough for me.
That, and maybe comparing nuisances and new friends to the old ones. And I
agree that killing characters off solely to not have to write about them is
bad - killing them off to motivate the character is not. 

Someone, somewhere, has written/will write a "Scream" ripoff using the Ranma
cast... (It's not me, and I don't want links.)

Nah, Dudley's redeemable. It's the other Dursleys that are mired in 
their own shortsightedness.

Oh... I disagree. He's supposed to be a two-sided, flat 
character. The evil stepbrother who simply can't be saved.

So is Draco, for that matter.

*Laughs* I haven't been reading HP fiction for very long, but the second
story I came across did an excellent job of redeeming Draco, only to have
Voldie pull him down. Too bad it's a blatant ANC fic, though.
