  I'd use Asuka instead.  Rei is more or less related to Shinji and they

Well you know, this IS the future. If they have technology advanced enough to
clone, they should be able to deal with any kind of genetic problems in utero.

 	Well, I do have Shinji and Rei set up for Evanjellydonut, and it
 will remain so for the duration of the fic series. I do have a problem
 with the relation thing, which...well, I'm not going to spoil it for you
 all. :) It'll come out sometime later.

We're all breathless with anticipation. I'm not joking, I really am. Can't
wait. 

 	Anyway, as it is, mythoughts on this generally is: ShinjixRei has
 huge humor ppotential, which is why I keep that around for NGEjd. But for
 a serious relationship, I can only write ShinjixAsuka. This is not to say
 I don't enjoy some seriously written ShinjixRei pieces out there, it's
 just that I don't think I could pull it off myself.

It's not so hard to do, once you get past the whole Oedipal thing.

For the same reason that "Black and Blue" , "Careless Destiny" and all the
other  familial reltionship stories  work so well... it's the weird, forbidden
relationships that we all like reading about.

We're all perverts. Or didn't you know? ^_-

 	Oh, really? Many have told me that my ShinjixAsuka continuity has
 been some of my most powerful writing, moreso than Evanjellydonut, in the
 emotional realm. I invite you to check it out.

It IS pretty good...... but Evanjellydonut is too. It'd be hard to make a
decision.
