Title: Suicide Blast part 1, fwd by Gary Kleppe

<snip fic summary>

   For some reason, I felt like I should READ THIS FIC and make a few
   comments. First, the introduction is nicely done and translates
   almost cinematically into the story itself. And Ryoga... everyone

    Thanks, those who remember when this story was first put out and have had the
unfortune of suffering through the reposts will note this begining is completely new. I
added it first and foremost because I felt the story really lacked a hook to snag the
reader, starting with a whimper rather then a boom. The events described in the first bit
are part of another project I'm working on, Suicide Blast 0, The Lion's Pride. Yeah, I
know, very Image, but I really wanted to try exploring the possible history of Ryouga's
most explosive technique.

   who thinks he can be happy, stop reading now or you'll sprain your
   rationalizing synapses. I don't see what goes on as being invalid
   or any less probable than how Ryoga ends up in, say, Lawson's
   story. Something just ticks the other way... a shadow from the
   past, perhaps, a stray thought, an attachment that should have been

    Heh, more answers to come in Suicide Blast 3 <wearing his Eva pilot outfit... ie,
shameless plug suit>

   severed long ago... whatever it is, Ryoga comes up with a new
   technique which is absolutely devastating and completely in
   character... at least, as he's portrayed here. I can't say I'm
   looking forward to reading more, but I can say I want to... 17 or
   18 out of 20.

    Ummm, thanks... I think. ^_^;;

   Oh good GOD. Ryoga's gone... evil? That's the only word I found fit

    Not all is at is seems, beside, you want to see evil? Wait till he "reaquaints"
himeself with a certain chef named Uky... <looks up> Oh hi there Zen... oh nothing,
nothing at all.

   when I READ THIS FIC. It waxes extremely metaphorical in places;
   nothing you'll have any problems holding on to, and it rings
   throughout of the somewhat cynical and suppressedly hysterical
   humor that Keener's become famous? infamous? afamous? for. Perhaps

    Cool, I'm... something prefixing famous... wow.

   it's because laughter is the least expected response in the face of
   death... nice exposition out of Cologne's mouth, by the way... nice
   characterization of everyone, as a matter of fact. Again...I'll
   read the next part when it comes. Perhaps it'll be a bit happier,
   given the events at the end of this one... 18 and up out of 20.

    Hmmm, happier... well, there's definately some moments of humor there. But weighing
in at about twice the size of the first fic... there's plenty of room for just about
everything. I'm going to get hit for the ending, I just KNOW it.

    Thanks for the WONDERFUL review. Your very kind.
