stuck on 'The Pursuit of Happiness' 'Surreal World' and the Indy Jones /
Ranma1/2 fusion fic.  The latter two were written 'cause I'm stuck on the
first one, and now I've got THREE fics that I'm stalled out on... and I'm
really TRYING not to start a R1/2 / Macross DYRL fusion-type fic... or a
Tank Police / Ghost In The Shell fic (Ghost in the Tank) fic... not YET, not
until I've ACTUALLY FINISHED something dammit!  NO NO NO! -RpM well,
actually, that Ghost In The Tank thing is REALLY starting to appeal to
me....

 Don't do it... Mihoshi will come find you... which may result in a
starship through your roof.  Wai!  I know what state you're in!  Ara, the
funny shaped one.  Wai!!  They're ALL funny shaped!  But I will find you. -_-
  You have enough fics in the works, I wanna see one this year!
*pokepokepokeprodpoke*  And Ghost in the tank... DON'T DO IT!!  I'm
BEGGING YOU!!  Waaaaaaah..... *sniffle*  Evil precocious ending... *whine*
********* * Mihoshi@Ara?  What is it?  Mihoshi doesn't understand...

Hmmmm. Having spent a good deal of time lately planning a Ghost In The Shell
fanfic, I'd like to know why you wouldn't like to see one. I certainly hope
that no-one gets the idea that GITS is above having a fanfic written based
upon it. It's a very intriguing story, with so much potential for
extrapolation and interpretation. Does anyone else feel this way about GITS?

It don't think it was opposition to a GiS fic in general.  It was just 
frustration that the author in question has left other fics lying around.  
Hell, I'm still waiting for Surreal World #4!

<pondering sending Nuku-Nuku and Eimi-chan to go play with the author in 
question if he doesn't get back to work on Surreal World...>
