Just call me John.  I'm not old enough to insist people use my last name

Thank you. I've run into some people in my life who were rather insistent
about the use of the last name as being 'proper'. Better safe than sorry, I
suppose.

So have I, but this tends to be a fairly informal place.  Unlike Academia,
the other major place where I write :)
 

Yes, but I don't usually even get a brief list of major problems.  Or even
a 'I liked it'.  Or even 'I saw it'.  I don't even get hate mail :)  

Well I'll have to see what I can do to change that. (The 'I liked it' bit,
not the hate mail. ;)
BTW, when can we expect to see more of Marmalade Moon?

I'm slated to write DNU9 next by my own personal schedule, so probably
after I finish that.  

However, I do now have a web page for Marmalade moon, although I still
need to connect it to my web page structure:

Well, length has nothing to do with quality. I can think of a few authors
whose work I really don't like who have produced HUGE amounts of work.  I
just can't help myself; every time I try to write a short story, it turns
into an epic.  

I wasn't trying to suggest that length is the only thing that seperates the
great from the good, but it does play a big role. Besides the added time to
develop characters and story, a larger fic has that much more time to
imprint itself onto its readers. Which is why some of the best loved
fanfics, are also some of the longest, like Hearts of Ice, Chasing the
Wind, or Sailor Moon Z.

Hai.
