How do you plan to use the very contorted BGCrash universe in a
BGCrisis universe??? I'm curious as to that.
[snip]
I don't claim to be a BGC expert or anything, but like Jeanne I am a bit of
a stickler for details. My humble fic got started when I freeze-framed the
video on Sylia's data unit in BGC#1 and saw a big blue '2' on it. My first
question was, "Who has #1?" I couldn't think of anyone in BG Crisis who
could have logically had data unit #1 (I did toy with the idea of Mackie
having it, but I couldn't see him witholding it from Sylia) so I had to make
someone up. And that's where all the fun began in trying to make this new
character "fit". I actually hadn't solidly placed him as growing up at
Raven's Garage until recently, when I submitted the updated prologue.
Believe it or not, I didn't know where Sylia and the KS were going to take
him after they left the military base in Part 8!<g> I have a pretty detailed
outline for the rest of the story, but there's plenty of room for
spontaneous inspirations.
Color me silly, but didn't Mason have something which had all of the
data on Sylia's data disk? We see him looking at it in ep. 3. At the end,
he challanges "Sylia" (uses her name), and then, after loosing, says:
"Sylia, it was you." It seemed to me that he had the other datadisk.
(As you can tell, I just got the subtitled BGC, and can understand more
than I could when watching it in Japanese).

I see why you want to see BG Crash.
--and crash it did.. :O
I'll have to read that one, if I get time..... Bert and I formed a
"Time mis-manager's Anonymous" but we can't find time to go to the >meetings.
Heh! I was going to form a procrastinator's support group, but I never got
around to it ;)
Hehehehe. I guess the 10,000v. cattle prod is helping, ne?
BTW: Since posting my previous reply, I've been thinking really hard about
the Ghost In The Shell fanfic idea. Me thinks that one is moving up the
priority list. Might take a crack at it when I finish up Volume 1 of Cross
in May. But I gotta watch the OAV first; it's only been in the U.S. (I was
informed by the distributor that there are no planned Canadian showings) for
a few months and is only being shown at special screenings in selected
cities. How much does a plane ticket to Japan cost these days anyway?
Too damned much! ($1500 from Rochester, NY to Kanazawa). But, there's
no tuition for that quarter, lodging is provided by KIT, but I have to pay
insurance, transportation, meals. Also, they suggest $2500-$3000 for the
trip. ARGH!
