the E101E Shasti and the Warren version parted ways a great deal when Larry

finished shaping a totally different view.

That wasn't quite what I was aiming for.  Shasti is the only character Warren 
(and Smith in this instance) has created that truly excited me creatively, and 
it upset me that he spent time fleshing her out, only to use her as a 
Terminator.  I tried to finish what he started.  I don't think the two are 
incompatible.  My Shasti may have seemed nicer, but remember how she killed 
that young tech in cold blood because he'd discovered part of her plan.

I have a feeling if Warren brings her back (which is likely if he 
goes monthly), that the odds on seeing the side and viewpoint of Shasti 
in E101-E/Reunions is about slim to none.

Agreed.  Warren has shown that he does not have the patience to spend the time 
necessary to truly develop a character; it takes pages away from the violence.

What got me freaked is you swearin off on the Pair.  To me, that makes it like
Warren has won.

I don't consider myself to be at war with Warren.  It would be like a gnat 
declaring war on an elephant.  I may be a big deal on the Net, but go to any 
convention, seek out Dirty Pair fans and ask them if they liked REUNIONS.  You 
will get a *lot* of weird looks.  I sincerely doubt Warren is even aware of my 
existence.

I'm too much the fan of your stuff (and the Angels in general)  to let you 
trap yourself in that mindset and firm it up without making a plea.

Your plea has been heard.  :-)  But right now, it's too painful to even think 
about writing Dirty Pair.  Who knows, maybe in the future I'll change my mind.  
I'm only human, after all.  Some new DP anime would help.  Some *real* DP, not 
that Flash crap...
