   That's true. Some can go extremely overboard. (That's the reason

I

hated
'A Real Man')

I don't remember that one... but I've got stories on hand that I
really like, however, they'd be considered a lil OOC in terms of
canon material, however, it's IC when fully explained...

    A Real Man had Ranma as a druggie, telling of his exploits with
various
women around Nerima. I mean it was just really crazy, some of it was ok,
and
hte ending was good, but I never was able to get past the Ranma on drugs

part.

I can't. ^^;

   Nor can anyone I'm afraid. It makes GREAT MST Fodder though. Now

if

I
can only get my GOOD pewter back I can post my Seduction of Ataru

MST.

Hmmm..was that the one where Ataru managed to get his harem... and
his problems all mixed up again? ^_^;

    Nah, that's the one where Ukyo teaches Lum about sex, Lum splacks
Ataru,
gets in a threesome with Ukyo, and then Kei and Yuri come in. Later eps
have
Lum as a dunken sex maniac, though even while re-reading I never
understood
WHY she became so. The story becomes readable later on. But it is great
MST
fodder in the early eps.

   Yeah Herriot said it himself. I just can't stand it for the odd
alien
language EVERYWHERE. UY was really never meant to be that serious of

a

story. Details are nice, but this is overboard. I mean come on. I

just

can't
take a story that would have a phrase like:    "He put his

namghsuyang

in
her pulsing namghmun."

   Gee, now THERE'S eroticism for you! = )

^^; The most erotic organ within the body is truly the mind...

    Maybe. Then agian, many would argue for the namghmun. (My god! it
sounds
like someone wretching.)

   The writing is OK, but the author just puts in too much wierd
stuff. It
also one of the reasons I'm not a huge Sci-fi reader.

Chacun son gout! ^^; Alot of the story reminds me of Appleseed...
most likely because the first Sagussans beyong Noa-chan that I
can recollect (or was it Honey-chan?) is Deunan and Hitomi and
their pet sandpanther... ^^

    Oook. So did Deunan but her Qhakrugladjul in Noa's
GRabpteLUberabutsu?
Heh.

<snip clip of ARD>

^_^; In ARD, the great villian (or the first one) is named: Gaylan!

^^

   And what's wrong with Zed huh? = )

Ehhhh...we moved from Zed to Graven to Gaylan... and there is
nothing wrong with Zed except that I'd be thinking Power Rangers
after that ^_-

    Heh, and I was thinking Pulp Fiction the whole time. Maybe it would
sound better as Zeddo. Ya know, add the whole romanization thing to it.

Welllllll.... Fred Lee Cain's Sugoi story is online.  But I wonder
where I can find back copies of USA Yatsura for their fanfics..

    I really don't know. Takaholics said they'd do more. I read the
Sugoi
story, and it was ok. But 'I Took the One Less Travelled By' was a lot
better.

At least you're not on your knees in a hair shirt ^^; And Oscar
defined a new low for all writers!

    Yes, and thankfully no one has gone lower. I still can't beliece he
did
a CAT man a freakin' CAT!!!!
