For anyone who has ever e-mailed me concerning DC - could you please
just take a moment to read this?  It's the first draft of the acknowledgement
section that will be put in the next revision to the foreword to be sent to
the RAAC archive.  I just need to know whether your e-mail address is correct
and, of course, whether you actually wish to be included at all and if so
simply by name or full address.  If you don't answer, I'll assume everything
is fine so no need to respond unless something needs to be changed/cut.

Many thanks,
			Craig

	Acknowledgements.
	I'd like to thank the following people for help and inspiration
(whether large or small) without which this fanfic would not have been
possible.
	First and foremost I should thank the creators of the animes/Manga
themselves (if they'd not invented any of this I'd never have known about it
and of course this just wouldn't exist ^_^ ).  Next Iaen Cordell, whom, soon
after we started talking by phone on a regular basis (he lives some 600 miles
from me and I've still not met him face to face after nearly two years of
regular phone-conversations) happened to mention one day that he'd found this
net FTP site that specialised in Anime fanfic and asked whether I knew what
this Anime was all about as the stories he'd read weren't half bad.  I'd
already read bits of _Undocumented Features_ that had been posted to the prose
NGs and was curious.  I took a look and neither of us have looked back since.
^_^
	As for my introduction to each Anime itself, i'm perhaps in an almost
unique position in that I've not once seen an Anime before reading a fanfic
about it.  For this reason, many additional thanks go to the UF crew for both
an excellent series in its own right and for introducing me to DP (I thought
Kei and Yuri were their own inventions until I stumbled on bits of _Reunions_
and so through a circuitous root to DP itself), Darren Stefler
<twister@ranma.net> for doing likewise (more or less) to Ranma and BGC (and
for writing what I still consider the best author-insertion 'fic I've read
thus far with BG-Zone and Legion's Quest running a neck-and-neck second) and
kmagami@hsonline.net (Kent Magami (David Outram)) without whose excellent
_Project S-boy_ fic I may never have discovered _Project A-ko_.
	Regarding Dark Chronicles itself, I have to thank Iaen for giving me a
hand with the fine-tuning of many an idea and for his comments on the thing
itself and Kent (i'll probably always think of him by that name now ^_^ )
without whose invaluable help and suggestions regarding both the A-koverse and
DC itself and the hundreds of K of e-mail we've exchanged I may never have
continued this FF passed the first two chapters.  Ok, the rest had better be
quicker. ^_^  In no particular order: g.feng@worldnet.att.net (Psyber) for his
help with BGC questions and his invaluable boomer specs, without which I'd
never have bothered thrashing out the DA series buma with such detail (indeed
they would probably have remained very secondary to the plot).
	sfarin@shadow.net (Salomon Farin) for reading this monster before it
goes to RAAC, for putting up with it getting to him in fits and starts and for
his help with many a BGC question.
	Andy Skuse <askuse@execulink.com>, jhedge@waterw.com (Jeanne Hedge),
Stormwalker <pingley@post.cis.smu.edu>, Bert Van Vliet <skyknght@sentex.net>
and taylorjb@vuse.vanderbilt.edu (Professional Nene Worshipper) for their
answering my idiot BGC questions ^_^ before I had my own copies of the tapes.
	For answering SM questions and questions concerning Kanji: Ken
Arromdee <arromdee@blaze.cs.jhu.edu>, "Geoff Walker, THE TYRANT PAX" (Ifurita)
<walker@mail.accent.net>, Scott Johnson <zagyg@IO.COM>, Chocobo
<chocobo@cris.com>, databank@mindspring.com (Zen), "Ranma Al'Thor"
<ranma@falcon.cc.ukans.edu> and Marisa Price <marisa@value.net>; your help was
very much appreciated.
