(a bit of little known history -- this fic was written in a fit of despair
resulting from the appearance of yet *another* in a string of bald-faced BGC
author-insertion-fics (most very bad): "Bubblegum Zone")

	What's so wrong with Bert's story?  

<sigh>  *Nothing* is wrong with Bert's series, I *like* BGZ.  But at the
time, BGZ1 came across to me as yet another in a very long line of not
particularly well written self-insertion fics.

Want to read something interesting?  Read Zone 1 back-to-back with Zone 9.
Zone 1 isn't even in the same league as Zone 9.  The entire BGZ series can
be read as an evolution in writing style if you want to nitpick.

I've never seen such a prototype for
self-infliction in my life...  Do the math or check out his "Hit List"  

I *wrote* Rev 0 of the Hit List.

It
makes the injuries sustained by Kei and Yuri in "Fatal But Not Serious" look
pathetic... ouchie...

Kei?  All she had was a nasty broken leg.  Yuri, on the other hand.......
