Thank you for your recommendations.

As it happens, "A Lesson in Love" was the first anime fanfic I read.  It
started out well, but lost focus and drifted.  Still, it did a good job of
getting me interested in anime fanfics.

Always your,

Okay, my list is REAL short, ONE because most of the true classics have
already been listed (YES! We all know Zen, Lawson and Hitomi are MAJOR
Gods and Goddesses though I'm surprised there was such little mention of
Biles or Kun-chan) TWO because most of my friends are fic writers here
and they are ALL great! I'd hate to make a slip and forget one. So here
are the five series that I have MOST recently come across and felt are
worthy of reading to give new writers a sence of what makes a good
fic...

	Ai No Kodomo I & II by Mousse Lee
Next Generation fic, Ranma (I've never fell so COMPLETELY in love with
original characters before!) 

	A Lesson in Love by Marsia Price 	
Wrap Up fic, Ranma (Read this fic alon with Thy Inward Love and piece
together the Ranma ending YOU like best!)

	Three Fold-God's Path by Don Juan (of Nickolas F. Toledeo)
Original Flavor, DBZ (This fic actually GOT me into Dragon Ball in the
first place, even after I said I'd NEVER watch it!)

	The Nameless Saga & Sequel by Mike Loader
Original Flavor with a bit of parody, Ranma (I DEFY you to read the
scenes with Ranma and Subaru hunting down rogue animals and not laugh!) 

	Gratitious Self by Time Runner
Self insertion parody fic gone terribly wrong, Ranma (Here's a fic about
a guy writing a self insertion fic, this will cure you of your hangup ;)

	I know, I'm missing ALOT of good work, but these are the five I have
most RECENTLY read (not counting the "good try but try harder" fics)
Please, don't be offended if I didn't mention you OR your works, I just
figured that limiting myslef this way would be best for everyone's
moral. 

Keener, are we back yet?

	Define 'we' and 'back' ;)

(And the Moon was as blood, the Storms crashed and the Seas BOILED!)
(Typical, thought the Lobsters)
