Usagi is Dead started as an interesting idea, The someone
murdered Usagi Tsukino and then we found out the Senchi did
it. Then the fresh new ideas and free flowing concepts
stopped and gradually the author ran out of plot and the
story went from interesting and intriguing to boring. I
really hate story's that substitute surrealism for plot.
this is NOT a flame, it is my response to the entire series
and is at least an attempt to criticize the major problem I
saw with this most of it from about part 10 on had no real
plot advancement and from about fifteen on had no plot at
all. IMHO anyway.
I liked the early chapters and I hope to see new stories by
this author. I think s(he) has real potential, but I just
couldn't get into this one after Usagi went dead the second
time.

Thankyou for saying this.  It is what I felt about the story as I was
writing it...  That I was having trouble showing how the plot was
advancing, and was falling into greater and greater set piece traps.  Of
course, ultimately, every little piece does form a kind of plot
advancement.  I tried to achieve this.  However, certain chapters, most
specifically 16 and 17, remain totally unsatisfactory to my way of thinking.

It is extremely rare that I should so much as write a second draft to any
of my fics, so what you see is what you get, I often simply cast them to
the wind regardless of whether I'm satisfied with them or not.
