Emphasis on that bit on "far better to see Shakespeare performed than to 
just read him."  I have a little dissertation I'm working on about how great 
it would be if we writers could create a sort of radio-drama or audio-book
recordings of some of the classics; but all I have is a 486/33 with Win3.1
Looks like all I can do for now is bring up the idea, and see what people
think.  I'd love it if some of us could do an ensemble performance (via the
magic of .MP3) of some of the DnR or other classic series...

	Actually, Ucchan.. that's already _being_ done. A group out on the net is
taking Todd's classic 'Careful Destiny' and turning it into a web-based
RealAudio radio play. In fact, Todd, for what seem to be dreadfully obscure
reasons, is urging me to audition for the part of Genma Satome.

	Which I am, for my own warped reasons. Heh.

	Terrifying thought.. _me_, as a fanfic Voice Actor. Scary, no? I can hear
the lynch mobs headed out from the FFML even as I type this... ^_^

	Anyway, if anyone's interested in the URL, write my _privately_, and I'll
give you the page. The group plans on converting OTHER excellent fanfics
into RealAudio radio plays, with Careful Destiny as their first.

	Hmm.. who knows? Undocumented Features, the radio play? Bubblegum Zone,
the audio version? Hopelessly Lost? Furinkan Summer? Ranma's Apartment?

	<evil laugh>

	Gawd... the evil possibilities are unlimited.. hey, Megazone? I could VA
one of Largo's expendable villians. ^_- Gryphon might like that, after how
he got a little irked with me over my first (and very bad and unfairly
stealing from UF) story. One gruesome death scene, coming up!

Itsu mo,
Ucchan  ^_^

(who brought Konatsu to tears by reading "Bitter End" aloud until 3 am 
the other night... that was the clincher, BTW)

	Been there, done that. BE made me wince a lot too. Zen and I have a
contest running.. who's had the shittiest things happen to them. So far,
I'm ahead in number of dead and general weirdness of what's happened, Zen's
ahead in personal aggravation.

	Weird.. life dumps on someone, and they make art. <headshake> If it
weren't so sad, it would be funny.

	That's just my $0.02 worth of philosophy, from this old hack. Remember to
take it with a few grains of salt.
