Hey, all.  Been doin' some power-lurking this week, reading stories 
without giving the author's their justly deserved feedback.  While the 
list below may miss a few of the fics I've enjoyed this week, this 
oughtta get me a little bit o' good karma, at least!  Remember 
Kleppe-san's adage folks:  The best way to get feedback is to give it!
For the record, I enjoyed every one of the fics listed.


   Oil & Water V:  Just one question--Is the similarity to Shampoo's
 oath to the "Knight of the Old Code" cant in Dragonheart deliberate?

   Shampoo 1/2:  High-powered action, indeed, even if I did want
 Shampoo to apply those bolt-cutters in new and interesting ways to a
 certain glasses-wearing Panda....Oh, Just out of curiousity, wouldn't
 it be more appropriate for Amazon names, when spoken in Chinese, to
 be given their "proper" spelling?  (In particular, I am thinking of
 "Xian Pu").

   Gone too Soon:  I like it!

   Onion Tears III:  I do not see *how* you are gonna wrap this up in
 just an epilogue, but if I could, I guess I wouldn't need to read it,
 right?  So maybe I'm better off in ignorance....

   Games Without Frontiers II:  Interesting....

   Nabiki:  Traveller:  Very cool, and definitely worth continuing.  I
 really, REALLY want to know what her relation to Ryouga is....

   Metallica's 1st Avatar:  Yet more creativity on the SM front! 
 (Although I think I agree with almost everyone else about the name
 thing...)  ;)

   SIU #6:  Just curious, DDFA... Do you have a grudge against the
 Senshi?  I mean, two excellent fics that open with a Sailor's death
 is starting to set a pattern....

   A Village Tale 2:  OK, I said my piece on this work before, but
 I wanted to include it here, too.  Very well plotted, but it needs a
 heavier hand in editing.  First and foremost, you need to capitalize
 the first letter of every sentence, unless you're e. e. cummings...
   On the plus side, I was glad to see that the Nerima crew was still
 involved in this.  It would have been too easy to turn this into a
 "Ranma & Shampoo" show.

   Atonement:  I want to see more of this, it has a lot of potential.
 
   Son He Never Was:  All in favor of leaving Genma in the hospital,
 say, "Aye"...."Aye"!

   Revelations & Revisions:  Hmmm...The only thing I see wrong with
 this fic is the way Nabiki is seesawing back and forth.  Her behavior
 is just a little inconsistent--Usually, she would decide that either
 she was going to support the new romance, or interfere, but here she
 seems to do both, without a strong profit motive either way....Still,
 a great "new character" fic.

   Junko's Legacy:  Yay!  Coutuva's back!  And...she wrote a new
 character that I really like... and... WAAAHHHH!!!!  Seriously, I
 want to see where you take this.

   A Second Too Late:  Awww, c'mon, write the Lemon, ya' tease...! ;)

   Babble:  Looks cool, but you should probably repost Part one when
 the next part is complete....Considering the traffic on the list, a
 month is a bit long to remember a detailed, and successfully surreal,
 dream sequence.

   Youma Blues:  Brilliant, even if you are succumbing to the "Power
 Up" temptation.  Maybe another encounter with V is in order....


That's all for now.  Thanks to all the above authors (you know who you 
are!) for a truly great read.
