A-kun: I guess we have to now.

Hello everybody, I'm Mi.
Huh?: No, I'm me, you're you, and that's that.
Hmm, I'm me. Yeah. This is my first posting
to the FFML on this account. I used to be 'Azusa-chan,' but since
seeing Mamono Hunter Yohko, I've wanted to change my name. Too many
Azusa's, hehe. Sorry to all those of you that I kind of 'disappeared'
from, my computer had some major problems, now I can't get my netcom
e-mail to work. *rolls eyes*
TharzZzy: STRIIIIIIIKE! Whoo-hoo! I got a perfect 300 in bowling!
Since I'm not always able to check my
e-mail every day, I'm not subscribing to the FFML. So please send all
C&C my way. Thank yas!
C-chan: I'm not sure if that was intentional or not.
Okay, this is just a small portion of and idea that I have. The
'series' is called "Angry Letters." It's written like characters have
a
complaint to their creator. I'm not sure how this will go, they may
each be written in a different format. Sorry for babbling for so
long.
Huh?: It comes naturally for A-kun.
A-kun: Huh?, do I have to Eva-01 on you?
Huh?: Sorry.
The continuation of this one depends on C&C. With no further ado (i.e.
babblings from a bored Mi)...

~*Angry Letters*~
Letter One
A-chan: I got one of those. Something about...... um, wait, what's the
topic again?
A-kun: My sister, she was never there to begin with.
A-chan: Are we talking about sex?
*inserts sounds of extreme violence that's standard for brothers and
sisters*
From: Tendou Akane
To: Takahashi Rumiko
Takahashi Rumiko-san,
I have a few complaints I would like to make.
TharzZzy: My sandwich isn't done!
?????: My pants are too tight!
C-chan: I don't get peak efficiency out of my hyper-plasma cannon.
A-kun: My thoughts are misaligned against me.
Huh?: Who's Ralph Nator?
A-chan: There's not enough sex in here.
*Insert sounds of struggling, gagging and rope-tying*
A-kun: She won't bother us for a while.
When you said that you
wanted to make a manga of my life, I had expected something more along
the lines of reality in your comic. Instead, what I find is that my
boyfriend is turned 'aquatransexual,'
TharzZzy: I wonder if she had amnesia when she wrote this. NARF!
my father a wimp, my mother dead,
?????: She isn't!? Then who did you bury?!??
and my punk of an older sister, Kasumi, is turned loving-maternal
figure.
A-kun: She denies the Fair Kasumi!
TharzZzy: LET'S SACRAFICE HER TO OUR GOOOOOD!
*pause*
TharzZzy: What? We did it all the time back home.
While I do find it to be on occasion quite humourous, it's also
more than a little annoying. My friends keep asking me why your manga
seems so much like how my life would be if everyone was on acid.
All: Like.... whoa, meee-an........... the Q is talking to meee...
neato...
?????: I knew Akane was on drugs!
Jumping around on the rooftops? Making everything a martial-arts
competition? I'm a gymnist, not some kung-fu queen!
Gymnist? Ha! The girl didn't even know how.
And I am not so
violent as the girl that you portray in your manga.
A-kun: Uh-huh. [Akane] And if you believe this, I've got some nice land
near Bikini Island, Chernobyl and near Las Vegas. No risks whatsoever!
I've never hit
anyone in my life, especially not my boyfriend.
Huh?: Uh-huh. I'd like to see _THIS_ in reality.
And jeez, just because
he's living with my family, why do you have to make it so that there is
some screwed up arranged marriage deal?
C-chan: And how could there not be? You can't look at a normal girl
with a her normal boyfriend and get a 38 volume manga out of it. Unless
you were very creative or very motivated.
It's nothing like that! His
family went broke and there was pleanty of room at our place. Which I
would like to meantion is not a doujou, but a good sized house in the
country. Please, if you're going to continue using my name, at least
make it seem like my life, not some freak tomboy martial artists life.
Thank you.
-Tendou Akane
A-kun: All those who thought this might be the 'Tendo Akane' implied by
Ranma 1/2, stop hitting the bongs now.
?????: All those who think that this 'Tendou Akane' was a mere
coincidence, read this review.
--~~*~~--
A-kun: Good idea, really bad arguments. First of all, if Mrs. Tendou
Akane were to have had her life as the basis of the story, then she
would've read Urusei Yatsura, The Mermaid Saga, Maison Ikokku and other
fine Takahashi stories.
?????: And besides, Real Life sucks as it is. We don't need people
reminding us of that.
Huh?: And besides, even if Mrs. Takahashi based it on someone's life,
the instant that life goes onto paper, it's instantly open for
alterations and such.
C-chan: Frankly, Akane should be happy about the manga. If she really
IS the basis for the story, she could get part of the profits. And
besides, Manga and Anime, even when based on real events, are fiction
anyway because not everyone can know what's going on everywhere, what's
being said, what's being thought, etc. unless you have a 'Photographic'
memory.
