I virtually never read anything based on a series I haven't seen, unless
it's a crossover, even if I think the Author is the greatest thing since

For my own experience, knowing the characters, I felt like I was being
lectured like a five year old.  "You remember Aunt Maple,right?  Who gave
you the toy train last Christmas?" But I guess I'm whining, so I'll shut
up about this now.

I think the people have, um, spoken or something. ^_^; By the way,

      Clever Nabiki sighed.  Magic wouldn't do the trick, either.  The
next day, she tried putting poison in the ogres' food, but everyone just
ended up thinking Princess Tomboy had tried to cook it.
