I would like to apologise for being a bit out of line when I posted my last
message.  As I tried to explain at the beginning, I had had a day where
absolutely nothing had gone right, and I was feeling very frustrated and
depressed when I wrote that post (which was also why I made errors like
saying "r.a.a.c" instead of "r.a.a.m" - I was too tired and frustrated to
really think about what I was doing).  I deeply apologise if I offended
anybody, and humbly ask your forgiveness - the post was intended to let off
steam, not insult anybody.  It's morning now (here) and I feel better.


Dear Andrew,
  Please, Rant. Rave. Throw a fit. Step in it. 
  You have created more(visible) feed back with that Rant than(I assume, no offense 
meant) your Fic. Being angry is good. Being depressed is good. Being in love is good. 
Ifatuation is good. 
  Ego is bad. 

  My first step in dealing with problems is simple. Do not place ones' ego between 
yourself and your problem. This will just make the problem bigger. 
  Leymans terms:
    If you don't mind, it won't matter.
  
  I have one recommendation for you. In fact, this works for everyone, so feel free to 
share: Write a number of short fics. Make them powerful stories. Flex your writing 
muscles. Make people want to read your work by the nature of the work itself. 
  By this method, you will get more people interested in your favorite series.
  
  Personally, I have never seen Iczer 1 nor Mekton Z.
  My Anime experience is limited to 
    Ranma 1/2
    Mermaid's Forest
    Urusei Yastura
    Bubblegum Crisis/Crash
    Ahh! Megumisama!
    El Hazard
    Tenchimuyo
    Neon Genisis Evangelion
    D.N.A.^2
    Here's Greenwood
    Explorer Woman Ray (indy jones+anime babe)
    Jo-Jo's Bizzarre Adventure 
    Marmelade Boy
    Wicked city
    Akira
    Crying Freeman
    All Purpose cultural cat-girl Nuku Nuku
    Phantom Quest Corps
    Gunsmith Cats
    A Wind Called Amnesia
    Kekko Kamen (it was a dare)
    Moldiver
    Battleship Yamamato(sp?)
    ...
  Well, limited may be a bit extreme.
  Still, I have not seen Icer 1. Being that is the case, I cannot identify with the 
characters you envision in your fic.
  So, outside of egregious spelling errors, typos, and grammatical nonsense, I really 
cannot coment on your series.

  Thank you for your time
