    Panda? Care to do this one?
    However, remember, the first contact is for species just discovering
*warp*, not space exploration itself.

Wow. An intriguing plot. But I'm just getting my feet wet in the anime
ocean and have not seen Wings of Honneamise (though I've heard the
artwork is pretty good). BG Crash! and Lodoss are next on my list. Like

Don't watch BG Crash. Trust me, *PLEASE!!* Save yourself the torture.
But, WoH is *EXCELLENT*.

Yeah, I haven't heard to many good things about Crash! but I would like to
see it for two reasons 1) Research for my fanfic(s) (maybe another BGC fic in
the very early stages) and 2) Curiosity ;)

big fan of Star Trek itself, but some of the stories were cool. <sigh> I'm
still trying to get Part 2 of Dark Traveler jump started, where the hero

on the remailer at dt1@ranma.net if you like sci-fi. Also check out Blue
Lightning by Damon Casale if you haven't already. Now there's someone
who has a good grip on the elements you are referring to :)

I said you, because I really like your writing style and quality.

Thanks Ben :) I'm humbled and honoured by your compliment. The plot itself
is intriguing, but I can't honestly say I'd be interested in writing a Star
Trek fanfic. But I'm writing the idea down anyway since good plot ideas are
hard to come by, and if I get to see W.O.H. soon, well ya never know; I
might just be inspired to write something. Another anime that I'm really
looking forward to seeing is Ghost In The Shell, and from what I've heard
about it, it sounds like the kind of story and atmosphere I could really dig
my teeth into for a fanfic. We'll see ;) Thanks for throwing the W.O.H. idea
my way and inspiring some other ideas. And thanks again for the compliment
:) Check out Blue Lightning
though, and I think you will be pleasantly surprised by Damon's style and
quality :)
