<< I love the idea... but I'm stuck.  I still haven't figured out if Key 
 really is a robot or just a girl who thinks she is.  What I'd really
 like to know is where I can find synopses of the last half
 (i.e., versions eight thru fifteen), so I can study up and do 
 this properly.


[It's revealed in version 14 that Key is actually a girl who thinks that she
is a robot (her mother was a puppeteer who used some sort of psychic ability
to manipulate the puppets; and that became the source of the gel.)]

[Maybe I should rewatch that tape to see the whole story, then I have to get
version 15 to see the end of the story.  *sigh*]

 
 Of course, maybe this isn't worth doing in the first place; in 
 which case, I'd like to know that, too.  But it seems Key (the
 series, not the girl herself) is much like Greenwood, popular
 enough to command readership, but sparse enough to preclude
 writers from takling it.  Any discussion on that? >>

Personally, I'd like to see this written.  IMHO, Key is one of those series
that doesn't get much fanfic written because it may be popular, but it is a
challenge to understand.  

I'll be waiting.
