Sigh... okay, first to justify the existance of this spam with a bit of
C&Cing.

Personal opinions abound in this post, of course. Small spoilers, perhaps,
thought what else would you expect from C&C?

These are the last couple of stories I found interesting.

A Goddess's Kiss by Donny Cheng <dddw@nucleus.com> 
A most interesting continuation to Sailor Moon R(which I loved when it was
first released), although it _terrifies_ me to think just what sort of an
ego Ranma would have, a thousand years in the future, with a bunch of
super powerful senshi and two goddesses(and lord knows what else) vying for
his affections.

Odd Outcome:  Akane by Wade Tritschler <tritscwa@mala.bc.ca>
Of course, this theme(Akane and Shampoo as a couple) has been explored 
before, mostly in lemons. But this was a good version of the tale, even 
if it did require a fair old suspension of belief. I would like to see 
more, see it expanded, see what happens after the two girls are found 
out, but if Wade chooses not to expand it, that's fine. It works as is.

"WASURERARENAI" (Unforgettable) by Emily Siazon <emily9@bellatlantic.net>
Here's one I recomend, especially the early couple of chapters. Akane loses
her memory when she is young, and is separated from her family, to live
with Shinnosuke. An interesting idea, given life because it doesn't overexpand
things, keeping it nice and short and simple. And good.

Ok, that's enough c&c for the moment. I usually send them privately 
anyway. Question time.

Could people work out the tags between themselves? I've noticed that a couple
of authors have started putting [c&c] tags into their fics, to indicate that
they'd like c&c for that story. Trouble is, I (like {I hope, or else I'll
look dumber than usual} a lot of people) assume that these tags mean that 
the post is a C&C. Might be best if the authors work out a different tag.
[C&CP?] (C&C Please?) perhaps.

And now, Rant time. Don't take the following personally, people involved,
but...

I'm really finding a couple of the threads recently to be going beyond
tiresome. Snide comments and superior airs being thrown left right and center,
especially regarding Pantyhose Tarou. Annoying. Beyond annoying. Don't read
them, you say? Don't post them to a list where they're not supposed to be,
I reply. Please, take it to the spam list. Or take it to RAAF, the gods know
that these sort of things are discussed like this there often enough. But
not here, eh? It's not the place for such spam. Thank you.
