Yeah, but this one was easy, being a short one shot that ends quick. Those
are easy to pump out, just look at all the one shot idea fics that are out
there. Only about 4 hours or so including revising, for me. It's those 1 meg
and up stories that drive you nuts. :)


[End bad fusion]

See? Now let this be a lesson to you people. Just because a series
initials
are almost identical is no reason to combine them. It just doesn't work.

Yeah, and while I can't speak for Hikaru no Go, you do realize you've
actually managed to improve on Jungle wa Itsumo (say, those initials
aren't
even *remotely* identical, DB)

It is if you drop the first 3 words. I usually do for simplicities' sake,
and to fool people into thinking I'm refering to Hikaru No Go. :)

by at least giving Guu a certain measure of
backstory and motivation for what and how she does what she does.

I try to think of her as an elemental force of nature, and don't bother with
a motive. One does not defeat Guu, one can only surivive her. Also, it makes
her Sai-like, since he had motive for being there as well.

  I enjoy
the show, and wish there was more - oh hell, ANY - fanfiction on it,

I always want to read *good* fanfiction. Although the less of a series there
is out there, the higher a quality an average fic might seem. Like I
mentioned, it's hard to do since it's humor, which few people write in, and
very visual, and Guu's not the most widely known series out there.

but
whenever I try, I get stuck because I can't figure out what makes Guu
tick... or more to the point, what makes her go cuckoo every half-hour.

And it's a very visual type of humor, like Excel Saga. It's hard to write
fanfics with that.


And while I'm on the subject, Hikaru seems a bit more restrained than
Hale,
too.

He is. As perfect a straight man as Hale is, he is wound up tight. Hikaru is
nowhere near as bad.

 Nice.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks for writing!


Thanks for the C+C (I'll get the last word in yet)


(who still wonders if JwIHnG isn't just a warped version of Evangelion
after
Third Impact; Guu is obviously Rei Ayanami with an attitude, Weda's a very
tanned Misato, and Hale... ought to run away, but he won't)

Ha! I love that description of it. You should do a spamfic of it. Shinji
hovering in limbo and wishing for Misato to be his mother, and Rei to have a
little more 'life' to her. and have this what he gets.
