Okay. I just read a copy of rogue1's "Lies", and I have to pronouce it the 
most depressing fanfic I've ever read. It makes "Winter's Tale" look like 
Christmas. Someone was really, really down when they wrote that, and now 
I am too. Gah, someone post something happy, quick!

If you thought that was bad, check out "Dropping Anchor" or "Ranma...Is 
that you?"  I nearly committed suicide after reading the second one.

Yeah, I've read "Ranma..is that you." Another darkie, too be sure....but 
"Lies" just has this horrible finality to it, and achieves it's goal with 
admirable brevity. While "Ranma..." was good, I felt it was a bit long.
   Never heard of "dropping anchor". Send me a copy.
