   I hate it.
    That's praise, by the way. I judge stories based on the reaction they
draw from me. If I actually laugh, or turn away in disgust, that
generally means it was well written, and the author got his or her point
across.
   There are exceptions to this rule. I am given to understand that
violent nausea and uncontrollable screaming were not the reactions the
thrice-cursed author of Sailor Moon was aiming for. Sad to say, that was
my opinion of it.

Seamus: He 'ad ta be hospitalized fer three days. Took five episodes of
Ranma before ya could even say "Anime" in his presence without him pukin'.

   Anyway, I forged ahead, despite the use of a SM character. And I still
felt kinda sick, but I think that was good, ne?
   A few questions:
   1-Matt? Any particular reason why he has a western name?

   2-I really can't see Nabiki as being that coldblooded. She may be
fairly amoral, but this goes past that and into downright degradation.

   3-I have no clue, thank Bob, what the protagonist is like. But is she
always so passive?

   4-This strikes me as a very well writen piece of writing. But it
doesn't strike me as a fanfic. You could replace "Nabiki" and "Lita" with
"Susan" and "Rebecca" and the story would still be the same. I would
consider turning this into a non-anime piece.
   Course, that's just me.
   And I agree with the Reverend. What _would_ Kasumi say?

Giles: "Oh my!" would be moy bet.

Oh, hush.
