Yeah, yeah, a sad excuse for an original title, ne?  Oh well.  My

non-members _can_ post to the list regardless, and seeing as how
SKJAM (Scott Jamison) has spoken so highly of you guys, I figured I'd
give this a whirl.  Anyway, I'm looking for commentary.  Good
commentary, criticism, heck even flames, I don't care, I'm just
interested in feedback.  In keeping with ettiquette, I've posted the

Interestingly enough, the list has been talking about the lack of c&c

Which, incidentally, is not a fish. Nor is it a dark-fic. It's more a
humourous fic, really. Hm... well, I guess it does have some dark-fic
elements but not really.

criticism is most appreciated, send it to chmcneil@upei.ca, SVP.  I
don't mind nor will I get annoyed at criticism, but I will argue the
point if I disagree.  Scott will vouch that I'm pretty reasonable

Careful folks! He's got a giant spatula and he's not afraid to use it!

about such things, won't you, Scott?  Pleeeeeeaaassseee?  ^_^
Anyway, looking forward to your comments!  Jya ne!

One final warning: Beware of the .sig!!!

Well, just to throw in my $0.02 here. CoD (the fanfic, not the fish) is
pretty good - I highly recommend it (not that _my_ opinion here counts
much, being a lurker and all but hey...) though Ukyou: Affairs of the
Heart Book 1 still ranks up there as one of my favorite fanfics from Blade
(and his co-author Epsilon).

Anyway, I don't want to say too much about it here without giving away
much of the plot - I'll do that later if I get around to c&c'ing the fic
for the list, so get ye hence and read it. Oh, an c&c it too ^_^

Hmm... and since I mentioned U:AotH I might as well rave about that one
too. Has this one appeared on RAAC yet? Can't remember. Anyway, best
portrayal of Tsubasa I've ever seen in book 1. Book 2 is pretty good too,
though not as light hearted and humours as book 1 (and no Tsubasa ;_;)
This is another good fanfic of Blade's (and Epsilon's) to read.

(and yes, Blade, I do intend to c&c your fics... one of these days, when I
have time <sigh>)
