Sorry for breaking the cardinal rule and replying to my own message.  But 
I didn't put everything I wanted to say in the first reply.  In the 
future, I'll hold off on sending messages right after typing them...

I read your story, Jeanne, when it was posted to alt.fan.bgcrisis.  Your 
writing is good, and so was the idea (ending up in the wrong parallel 
universe).

When I first read your story I thought that your ended up the *real* BGC 
universe, and the stories from the OVAs were a simplification (you know, 
like Linna working in Sylia's store, Mackey (sp?) not being at the 
counter, etc.) of what happened in their universe.

I also thought that you would continue it.  As far as I know, noone else 
has taken your approach (except maybe Twister, in a small way, with the 
Knight Sabers acceptance of him and his story only after seeing his 
powers, and knowing Darlene for so long).  With Bubblegum Zone and 
Hopelessly Lost, they automatically (sort-of) accept the author(s).

It would also have been interesting to see a female fanfic author writing 
herself into BGC.  But because you've put yourself so far into their 
future, I guess you'd have to come up with new adventures for them, 
rather than use the OVAs... unless the dates in the OVAs for those events 
was also off (except for Irene's 'death', everything else could have occured
after 2035).  But... I guess that might be going too far.
