Oh, sorry about that. I just read from my copy of Inquest that
there are rumors of a Sailor Moon RPG out this fall. It seems
that I'll be saving up again if that rumors true. <sigh> The
things I do for anime.........like the time I dated that...<blush>
Forget I said that.
Anyway, I'm starting to like reviewing fics in this manner.
Well, since this baby's a bit delayed I have to hurry up.
On with the reviews !

[BubbleGum Crisis]
- - - - -
Title: Insane in the Membrane2: The Insanity Contenuies
Series: Bubblegum Crisis
Genre: hummor (What'ja think with a name like that?)
Author: Jusenkyo Guide

Homepage: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/6549
Date Sent to FFLM: 5/1/98
A good laugh for anyone out there. It's nice work and
it almost reaches Ryoucilo's level of humor. Hmmm..
I wonder if that's a compliment or an insult ?
Anyway, the fic is great sequel to Jusenkyo Guide's
original Insane in The Membrane. And yes he's a lot
better speller than the entry above shows.

[Crossover]
- - - - -
Title: Eternity's Tears, book I, chapter 1 revised
Series: megacrossover
Genre: DARK
Author: Jess, the LilTigre
Email: jhardy@campbellsvil.edu
Oooooh, Cris-sama shows up ! ^_^
Anyway, this fic has certainly got my attention. The
unlikely combination fo the crossover is going to
make a real interesting read. The amount of gore
I think will go up as the chapters progress but hey
I can take it. I'll be waiting for future chapter.

Oooookay, let me just say I don't watch the two
listed series....much.
<WHAM>
READER NO HENTAI ! Get your mind out of the gutter.
Anyway, the fic is a lemon, there's nothing more to say
except it has a plot. That's all I have to say. Now, excuse
me I have to go to the bathroom. ~_^

Weird and funny in it's own way. It has a very charming
aspect to it especially this chapter. Heck, the thing really
strating to look like a Ranma fic.
Of course a Ranma fic with green skinned men, people
who could level small planets....

James, you're doing some of the best work I've ever read on the FFML.
Congratulations again on keeping up the quality of your work and
keeping me interested in something that, if done in a lesser way,
would put me to sleep.

The genre is totally correct in description of this story. Hell,
only one writer has forced me to skip pieces of his work so
I can avoid the quesy little feeling in my stomach and running
around checking the windows and doors and other shadowy
places. And Mr. Kleppe's work chilled me to the bone. Heck,
you put someone who hikes up mountains at night into
paranoia mode. Admittedly your work would have been much
more horrifying if you put in more details....but heck it's
enough for me.

A bit of an improvement, but still I know you could do better.
This chapter is certainly better than the last one, polish up
your prose style more. A few more adjectives, a few more
details and you won't have me dozing off.

Uhhh....I'd probably try to kiss you like what I did with
Mr. Mackinnon but I heard you already got a wife....
Anyway, another excellent chapter. And once again
I advise anyone who hasn't read this to get hold of the
earlier chapters and start reading.Trust me you won't
regret it !
Now, Greg <crack> faster with the next chapter ! ~_^

OK, the series is a good one. Quite good. Though there
are a few problems with spelling a few times and grammar,
the fic is very good. I also advise you to get the earlier
chapters. The series may not rank way up there, but for
me it has that certain kind of charm.

The fic gets my recommendations. It is definitely one of
the best Slayers fic around along with Twoflower's "Slayers
Reflect".
I wanna see what happens when they arrive at the Tendo
Dojo. Hurry up, Jussi !

Hey, someone other than Andrew Huang responded to my challenge !
Sorry about not giving C&C earlier but heck I was up to my neck in fics
to write and review that it broke my usual routine of reading every fic
that comes down the pike.
Anyway, an excellent fic if you don't mind me saying. And you brought
up another one of my bad traits, curiosity. It seems I'll be asking a few
friends about this particular series. The fic really gives you the feel for it.
It's one of the best I've seen, I think on par with Huang's " I Musn't Run
Away". Keep up the good work !
