Subject: Re: [FFML] Pop Up Review

I actually liked Henry's Pop-Up/Annotated fanfic. I agree with 
Nightman, in that I do not understand many references made in some 
fanfics. This is especially true with cross-overs, when a reference 
in one series (like Akane malleting Ranma) is transplanted into 
another series (say, Akane malleting Ataru). 

People who watch both series (Ranma 1/2, Urusei Yatsura) are aware of 
Akane's use of a mallet (a move more effective than most of the other 
characters' martial arts attacks) and Ataru's flirtatious behavior. 
They will enjoy a fanfic more by understanding these references.

Well, Akane is not the *only* one who uses mallets. Also, Shinobu uses 
mallets on Ataru (well, most of the time, she tosses desks, but when she 
and he are not in school, and Ataru makes a pass at another girl, watch 
out). And don't forget City Hunter ;>.

I don't know if this is overkill, but would someone consider doing a 
Pop-Up/Annotation of some of the MSTings out there? Some of the riffs 
are too obscure for me. ^_^

OK, I'll try one Pop Up Review, VH-1 style, but I'll do it on my own 

junk

so nobody else will be too offended.

Yeah, I know it's against the list rules to post a review of a Cobb 

fic,

but this is just an experiment, t'cha?
