As a joke, I put that you can get alt-Bitter End from me at the
end of my songfic.  My mistake, everyone's asking for that. and
no one's critiquing the songfic.

I read it... it was okay, but I don't much like songfics.  Nothing
against yours, which was well done (although I liked the Ukyo/Akane one
better).  I just have a problem with associating a musical number with
BE.  :)

So:  if 5 people mention what they liked/hated about DINTE, I
will post not only alt-Bitter End (fear not, it's 448K less than
the original), but the Bitter End Soundtrack.

Heh, well, you know, I wasn't going to say this, but... I *did* write
another ending to BE.  Just so I would feel better.  It was sort of a
catharsis.  After I finished it, I could get a lot of the nasty feeling
out of my gut.

However, I will *not* release it, not to anyone.  That would cheapen
Zen's story, and I will *not* do that.  Zen's written a darned good
story; who am I to say it should end differently?  :)  In fact, ending
it like Zen does is what makes the story memorable.  I just wanted to
feel better about it.

Of course, that's also why I wrote that Rhorshach/Ranma crossover, so I
could feel better about the end of "Watchmen"....  :)

So I'm holding it hostage.  Let's hear those phones ringing...

"Hello?  You've reached the Goddess Relief Line...."
