Even though I write by impulse, some conscience insists that I

and Japoro, about the crew of the Nadesico, I *can't*, ethically. I
haven't seen their shows yet. (Sometimes, I hate the net as much as I
love it.) I have broken this rule only once. I am still amazed that my
proofreader didn't realize that I hadn't seen the series I was talking
about.
Hehe :) When I started my first fanfic, I'd seen 4 episodes of Ranma 1/2,
read three manga issues, and read the 7 fanfics that were the sole extent
of the Ranma section of the fanfic archive at the time :) And a talent for
bluffing in print :)

New CS Lewis Quote :)
"This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play.
but our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest
kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each
other seriously--no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption. And out
charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in
spite of which we love the sinner--no mere tolerance or indulgence which
parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment."
