First off, apologies for the putdowns on the very-much canon powers of Nise
Suiko and Shin. I'm calling on my right to be totally wrong on this one. ^_^

Second off, I'm partly replying to your reply just to show that I care. :P Oh,
and to show that I've received said replies. Too bad that there's a slight risk
that hotmail's going to eat my reply whole again, though; no private replies to
a simple email this time around, then.

Lastly, if ever you find this reply in the forums, please do CC your replies to
this address (gabriel_gabdiel@yahoo.com) in the future. Thanks.

(sigh) And here we are again with fanfic's tradition of having the girls
name each other through their real names instead of senshi names.

Is two chapters really enough to make a tradition? I was hoping it would at
least be downgraded to "trend" or "tendancy."

Incidentally, I remember at least three SM crossovers (yours included) that
continue this very 'tradition'. (checks my sent inbox) And those are the SM
crossovers I _remember_; SM Crossovers is to FFML as Ranma fanfics is to FFML.
Dime a dozen. So, yeah... It's a fanfic tradition that's not really all that
exclusive to Ronin Summer.

The second time he touched down on a broken piece of surfboard

Suggest: For the second time (add 'for' before 'the second time')

But this is not the second time that he touched down on a surfboard. It is
the second time he touched down, and this time it was on a surfboard. If I
wrote "for the second time he touched down on a broken piece of surfboard",
it would sound like he had done it before.

I think. Then again, if I had thought it was wrong the first time I had
written it, I wouldn't have written it that way. I mean, I don't do these
things on purpose. You're probably right. :p

I have a simple solution to this dilemma.

Suggest: For the second time he touched down, it was on a broken piece of
surfboard
