Trying to come up with a believable reason for a goddess to reincarnate
was a problem and that is why I was unsure if I had it right. 
Thank you for saying I, at least, convinced one person.

Truthfully, I wrote this with as little conflict as possible so other
people could use this basic idea and expand upon it.

My thoughts about expanding the story never grabed my enthusiasm. I
decided to leave them out, figuring if I could not get entusiastic about
my own work, the chances of the story being good would be small.

I do want this idea and story fragment to be used by other writers as a
explaination for a OMG x-over.
(if you want to adjust the story fragment to fit the series fill free to
do so.)

thank you

I'm still not totally happy with the talk about reincarnation, but all
I'm doing is playing around with the same sentences. Hopefully  I'm
making sense, if not tell me.

The idea is a good one, I think. That the Goddesses need to reincarnate
every so often is believable the way you explained it, and it also fits
in well with already existing OMG mythology.

The "seperated at birth" angle also worked well -- they ARE remarkably
similar in personality after all.

What is needed, though, is a storyline in which these ideas can be used.
This fic as written is very talky, and there isn't much at all in the
way of conflict. Adding conflict would make the story more interesting
to read. Just as one example, Urd or Skuld might refuse to go along with
the reincarnation, and Belldandy might need to convince them that it's
for the best.
