My vote is, keep it.  You mention specifically that he uses it to ape 
Shampoo--While we can speculate whether this is to mock her, or just to 
play to Japanese xenophobia (kind of like blacks 'Tomming' whites in 
America), not knowing the reason for _every_ little detail is actually a 
good thing in a delayed continuation fic like this.

True, and it also means less work for the writer. Given current
circumstances, I'm all in favor of that. :)

"Oh my.  Could you please stop eating that man's soul and go back to 
the lowest depths of Hell, Mr. Demon?"

Hey. that kind of approach might work!

Gah.  I suppose it would be better than anything Gos' would try....

Yeah, that Gos without saying.

Hmm... somewhat confusing.  By evening light, what do you mean?  The
moon, the stars?  

I mean the last rays of the sun as it's setting. Maybe I should say
that.

Seems to be the consensus.

The whole Azusa sequence was very effectively written.  As you say in
the endnotes, a children's book style narration.  For her, it works.

I actually came up with the idea for it for a different story that
features Azusa... now, if only I can get my collaborator back to 

working

on it. :)

Snicker.  Looking forward to it when it comes out.

Me too. :-)

Spamfic will be appearing shortly.  (That's twice, now, Gary....)

And still three more preludes to go! :-) Actually, I've gotten ideas for
full-length fics or subplots from doing C&C of other people's stories,
so this isn't unprecedented.

preludes are the best. I've been running a poll on my website for quite
a while. The only conclusive result is that the people tend to like the
last one (Ranma's) the best.

I'd say this is number two or three.

<Whap!> Use the CGI form on my webpage! ^_^

Thanks for the commentary!
