Well, due to computer problems I am forced to work from someone else's
laptop to respond to messages, so I might be a while in putting out the next
chapter and answering email.

However, by far its most notable feature was its...hat, for lack of a
better term. It was a wide thing, perhaps two meters across and several
centimeters thick, a blunt, rounded edge all around and apparently made of
the same material as the rest of the skin. It made the giant creature look
like some sort of demented, walking mushroom. The weirdest thing of all
about the headpiece was a tiny, repulsive emblem that looked like a white
face embedded in the brim of it. The emblem stood out, calling attention
to
it by the snowy color alone. Of all the things that should not have been a
part of the creature, that belonged least of all.
... The Dirty Pair meet Zeram?!?! Now there's an ... interesting
idea.
Don't think I've seen it done myself. Don't think I've seen any Zeiram fics
at all, for that matter.
Hmm, is it the anime Zeram (Zeiram) or the live-action one? They were
both pretty good ...
Anime. Agree with you about the live action as well, though the first movie
was better than the second, IMO.
This time Kei spoke louder, shouting at the creature. "It can't be! You're
dead! We killed you! Goddamnit, WE KILLED YOU!"
Okay. Kei = Kei from the anime. Not the live-action version, then.
It seemed a reasonable connection. It's easy to see Iria's Kei grow into the
DP one.
Words poured from Kei's mouth as fiercely as the tears, "Oh, Iria. I've
missed you so much!"
Ahhhh. Nice to see her again.
Oh yes. I knew going into this I wanted to use good ole' Iria too. She's too
fun a character to pass up.
still familiar with it, but I found it to be an excellent action-oriented
series that will hopefully mix quite easily with the more popular Dirty
Pair, though I haven't seen very many fics devoted to them of late. Hard
to
believe, given the good story potential there.
To be honest, I was never really keen on the Dirty Pair, and I probably
wouldn't have looked at this story if it wasn't by you.
Ohhh. Flattery. :)
Suffice it to
say, I'm very glad I did. :)
Cool.
The Dirty Pair versus the classic damn-near-indestructible thingumajig.
Should be an interesting ride ...
That's what I'm hoping for. Think I got it planned out sufficiently from
start to finish.
Oh, and I wouldn't say Zeriam's too dated. The anime was only '94.
Six years ago. Long time by anime standards. :)
Thanks for the comments.
