Hey,
I'm going to be romping around NYC for the next 48 hours, helping
out a couple of campaigns for Election Day, so it's quite possible
that I'm completely in the wrong state of mind for writing
fanfiction of any sort. But for some reason, I decided to sit in
front of the computer and start writing Chapter Seven.
After belting out a page or so, I went for some food and came back
to look at what I wrote, and I honestly don't know if I'm out of
my mind. I suppose I could sleep on it and take a look at it on
Wednesday, but by then it'll be post-election, when I'll either be
celebrating a victory or enduring a funeral, in either case I'll
probably be drunk until Thursday.
So, before I continue on with the story, I was hoping (and I'm
really hoping beyond hope, because FFML response, I hate to
complain but I'm owed one moment of ventilation every now and
then, has not been as much as I would like and I don't ask for
much to begin with, but we'll drop that before I blame Ranma and
it's gazillion fics for it ^_^) if someone could look at the stuff
below for me. It's just the first two scenes and I'm not terribly
concerned about grammar/spelling, but more about plot and it's
plausibility. And, of course, I am assuming that one has read the
first six chapters of "OH".
Before this intro gets a bit too long, here's the starter. Give
me an email with your honest criticism, please. Thanks!

Only Human
An Ah! My Goddess Fanfic

Chapter Seven: Tell Me Lies
"I already found her," said a very stern Belldandy, once her
sister walked into the room. Belldandy and their new guest had
already been home half an hour before Urd and Skuld materialized
back on Earth, and were expecting them at the elder sister's
insistence.
"Bell, I can explain--" Urd started to say, wearing a smile and a
face she knew how to wear a million times before, whenever she was
found out.
I'm still having trouble with Urd telling on Belldandy, but there's
at least a remote possibility that she would do so. I can see her
doing it if she were summoned to Heaven and asked point blank by the
Almighty himself, but not much short of that. The three sisters
have collectively defied the Almighty before, though Belldandy is
the only one who has done so on her own, and repeatedly.
"Keiichi!" Belldandy called from outside the room, with the sound
of footsteps telling the rest of the tale.
He turned his head towards the doorway, and Belldandy was already
in sight, rushing up to him.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Belldandy apologized, as if Keiichi
required one. Like a small child that had broken something
valuable, she collapsed onto him seeking some sort of redemption.
Keiichi held her gently, confused about the matter, "What
happened? What's the matter?"
Belldandy looked up, with a few tears in her eyes, "I didn't mean
to...I was just...Keiichi, I'm so sorry!"
Her face fell again onto his shirt and she sobbed uncontrollably,
never before having said such sharp words at her sister.
"It's alright," Keiichi said by default, "Whatever it is, it's
going to be--"
"Please hold me, Keiichi," she pleaded, feeling his grasp on her
begin to loosen, "Just hold me..."
Well, Belldandy as an emotional basket case is a new one, but again
that's kind of the point of the fic, from what I gather.
Anyway, I don't see any glaring characterisation errors in this
piece.
