This 'fic is EVIL.
yeah, i figured.  i have this cold right now, and after screaming my head
off at the state b-ball championships (we won!  yay!), i sound really evil
when i talk.  i think it's warping my personality.  ^_^

Also funny. I laughed my ass off (luckily, I managed to put it back
on). 
whew!  good for you!  ^_-

(does that mean evil is good? and if so, does that mean that
by doing good deeds I'm sinning? or does this mean that maybe I
should get some more sleep?)
sleeplessness can be a god-send for desperate fanfic writers.  that
story:  case in point.

	Continue it, if only to see B'Harne get trashed by the Eye of
God....
	You know, I'm not so sure this would be such a good idea. Has to
do with my thoughts on how the Eye of God works (which has a basis in
the OAVs actually), and the original purpose of the Eye. 
	Not going to explain these thoughts here, because they're going to
be >explained in one of my fics, the third Disk (or Disc, if you
prefer), >which >takes a look at the history of the Eye of God.
oh?  maybe i'll have to check out your 'fic before writing more.  yes, i
plan on there being more.  heh, heh.  seriously, most of the people who
responded wanted more.  sorry to those who implored me *not* to do another
chapter, but the masses have spoken.

I admit it. I admit it freely. I'm using this as shameless
self-promotion for >some of my stories. No questions about that. I know
it, you know it, we all >know it. I'm not going to deny that.
well, advertising is a business' lifeblood, and i don't see why fanfic
writing has to be different.

	But I ask you, _is shameless self-promotion for fics really wrong?_
(stuff between _ _ would be in italics. There's a knack to it, but one
can >_actually talk in italics if one practices enough._ scary, isn't
it?)
deeply.  i think this evil thing is getting to you, too.>

	Anyway, I liked it, I really liked it. 
Only problem: Harpo. Harpo was OOC. ^_-
Sorry, had to say that. Absolutely imperative to my well-being.
i figured *someone* had to be OOC.  (and we can't have your well-being
damaged, now, can we?)  sadly, i haven't watched the OAVs in a long while
(stupid comic book store sold 'em out from under me...), so my details may
be a little rusty.  any help would be appreciated.

and i need a title.  the one i gave it was just a last second addition for
the subject line and it really isn't official.
