Hi! I've been away for a month or two, and I'd like to ask a few questions,
if someone would be so kind as to answer these for me?

1. Have there been ANY Slayers fanfics posted here in the past two months?
If so, where can I get copies?

2. Have there been any -good- Ranma fanfics worth the time it would take me
to read them? That means, with an original plot, not an all-problems-solved
fic, and please no more where Ranma finally confesses his true love to
Akane. God, reading the untold hundreds of those out there has left a bad
taste in my mouth...

3. Off topic, does anyone know where I could get translations of Dragon
Quest manga? Anyone here ever READ Dragon Quest manga?

4. Any good original fics posted in the past couple months? I always love
reading those!

5. Have any Final Fantasy fics been posted here? Once again, sending any
you've got would be great!

6. Have there been any new parts to Blade's "Curse of Darkness" fanfic? I
LOVE this one, but I haven't found any new parts for months.

I think that's it for the questions, but in case you care, I'll fill all of
you in on the status of my works in progress. Most of them are suspended
until further notice since I've been extremely busy with schoolwork, and
FINAL FANTASY 7!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

Slayers 1/2: I'm still doing those revisions of parts three and four, and
I'll wrap this story up whenever I get some free time and a little creative
inspiration. I know a lot of you don't like what I've got so far because I
like bashing Ranma more than most of the people on this list, but I'm not
going to get into that argument again; I don't want another flamefest...

Lodoss 1/2: I've got a skeleton of a plot worked out, could anyone give me
a better name please?! It's a Lodoss/Ranma fusion for those of you who were
wondering.

Azusa's Reflections: This is a story exploring Azusa's serious, more
committed side, and the way she affects the people around her.

Amazon's Spirit: Another Ranma fanfic, this one is an alternaverse fic I
thought up during my boring chem class; What if the Amazon that girl-Ranma
had beaten wasn't Shampoo, but Mousse? I know it isn't likely, how many
alternate stories are? But so far, what I have is very entertaining stuff
most Ranma fans would enjoy reading. If someone's already taken this idea,
please let me know.

Dragons of Jusenkyo Twilight: A Ranma/Dragonlance fusion I'm in the process
of writing. Thank Demonsword for the cool title. ^_^ Like most of my
writing, this is aimed to be more humorous, and less serious than a lot of
the stuff I see here.

I think that's about it for the works in progress, if you'd like to be a
prereader, drop me a line and I'll send you some of my work when I'm done
with it! Constructive criticism is welcome, but no "I hate you for showing
Ranma in a non-flattering light" flames please.
