I have read a lot of writing from people who hate the American revision

The truth is I wouldn't know. I have no idea what goes on in the
Japanese version. Despite my best efforts I find I cannot comprehend
most SM fics because I don't know who's who. If someone could give me a
few hints I could really use them.
As in which dub names correspond to the original names?
Now, getting to the point, I got a brilliant idea for a hilarious fic or
a potential disaster depending on how you look at it. I'm sure this idea
has probably been proposed before but here it is:
-Make an SM fic where the American versions of the characters meet the
Japanese versions.
It's been done. Usually the Japanese version massacres the American
version :)

Andre always was the cryptic type. That's why I loved him so. Our
love was fresh like a summer day, well maybe a spring day, summer around
here is pretty wretched and hot. "I am climbing Jacob's ladder," I
replied. It is our wont to converse entirely through literary and
musical allusions. "Just another fallen angel, trying to get through the
night."
He nodded, "Step by Step, rung by rung. These are the days of our
lives."
Oh, so true.
