For anyone that have read my 'Just won't die' series, you'll notice that the
first chapter, the Ranma/BGC x-over, was called 'The Boomer the just won't die'
and then came that Ranma/NGE x-over which I called 'The Angel that just won't
die'. However, this makes me wonder if I should simply shorten the titles to
Just won't die 1 and 2 respectively. Afterall, I'm already almost finished with
part 5. Part 6 is also almost finished. And I've already started on a part 7.
For those of you who have read only up to part 5 on my page, one of the spinoffs
will become part 6 while the part 7 I have been recently posting on the ML as an
unofficial part 6. God, I think I'm confusing both you and myself ^_^;
Anyway, do you think I should shorten it to 'Just won't die'. That way, it would
probably be easier to follow the order of which I wrote the series. I wouldn't
really want someone reading 'Angel that just won't die' before the 'Boomer that
just won't die' first. It's just that I think it's about time I start posting my
fics onto RAAC. So far, I've written over fifty fics that have been exclusive to
this ML. Although I used to post onto RAAC a while back, I stopped doing that a
few years ago. Now if I start posting there, that brings up the question, should
I stick with 'Just won't die' as the title and simply add the corresponding
number to the part being released?

I'm in the process of editing and updating my very first crossover, the 'Boomer
that just won't die'. Hopefully, by the time I'm finished, you would have gotten
back to me on whatcha think for the posting^_^

One more other question: Now that I think about it....'Just won't die' doesn't
even seem like the appropriate title. For those of you that have read the
series, you'll know exactly what I mean. It's just that most people associate
this series as 'Just won't die'. I'm pretty sure people know this series when I
say that, but will simply changing its title all together get more readers or
less? If I change it, it'll seem like yet another new crossover. But if I stick
with 'Just won't die', people might remember it and realize that the series is a
few years old. Of course, the title will definitely be a contradiction to the
series because....well, let's just say it should be something 'Always trying to
die' :)
