Subject: Dirty Pair fanfic question

OK, I asked this in July, and Jeanne and Ryan gave me some answers.
Unfortunately, I lost that post.

Anyway, I've been knocking back Undocumented Features side stories
like tic-tacs this week, and I decided that I wanted to know more
about the Dirty Pair.  Unfortunately, the big info site is now gone.

So, I went to my local comic store to get some examples.  I picked up
3 Viz Anime comics, #2, 4, and 5.  These are apparently based on the
anime TV series, and I really enjoyed them.  Then, I decided to get Adam
Warren's "Fatal But Not Serious".

Ahem.  Boy, when I screw up, I really screw up.

Words cannot describe how much I hated this.  Y'know how most people
feel about Thy Outward Part?  That sort of thing.  Art that was done
better by Tank Girl (one of the bigger insults I know), One-dimensional
Kei, a cyberpunk future, *far* too much gore (note: gore, not violence).
And an ending that left me hurling the book across the room.

So.

I want to read some DP fanfiction.  But I want the Undocumented Features,
TV series Kei and Yuri, not the Adam Warren "Gee, I didn't know my arms
could bend that way" girls.  Any suggestions?  I also enjoyed The Good
Life, the High Life, and the After Life, the only other DP fic I've read.

There ya go.  Sorry 'bout the rant.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got
to edit =94's and =92's out of Chasing the Wind.
