Hiya kiddies !!! Welcome to another installment of the SLR !
Anyway, another large synopsis list it seems.
BTW, the Elsa Bibat special of the year: A Long Strange Walk
Y2k is starting to be prepped up and it's already a doozy. That
also means that the FFML AE will be starting to receive
nominations again, but that's not for some while yet, but I'm
already asking you to check the site out and look for people who
you think should be included in it.
Thanks !
Disclaimer:
All opinions are mine. No consultation with the evil
forces that conspire to rule the world was neccessary.
So any comments, to me.

Series Summary:
Ryunosuke was the one to be killed when running from his mom's
henchwomen. To save his life, his brain was transplanted into a female
android body. Now, years later and now male, he is the leader of a
small group of people trying to get revenge on Mishima Heavy Industries.
Segment Summary:
Ryunosuke remembers all the trouble he got into when he first became a
cyborg. Ryunosuke is shot down in his attempt to get Priss in bed.
Review:
First thing I noticed was the formatting. It's really distracting, and IMHO,
is really irritating. Try to fix that. A clean work gets more readers, IMHO.
Second, a few typos and awkward sentences for example:
Kyusaku looked at the book and groaned inwardly.
Indeed, she looked like she had just drank something very bitter.
I mean, I don't get it. Is the she referring to Kyusaku or Mrs. Tanaka ?
Try to go over your work and reread it. Fix it up problems like this. I saw
quite a few of them.
Well, as for the story, it's interesting. Though I'm confused. Is this a fusion
or a crossover ? Priss shows up, but all the other Knight Sabers don't.
MHI plays the part of Genom it seems and Ryuunosuke and friend are
the Knight Sabers. And I'm confused. You should have used a proper label
on the header for that one.
Anyway, other than that, this is pretty good. And it has potential. Hope
to see more. With proper formatting, of course.

This time it takes place in El-Hazard, once again sending the world into
a new level of hell.
Review:
Pretty nice description. Especially like the new level of hel part. ^_^
Anyway, another Sean D'anna work that I like, though once again
Sean pushes my buttons by using formatting that really makes the
fic a bit of a trial to read. At least, he balances it with all that great
SI action ! Go, Sean, Go ! ^_^
Anyway, keep up the good work and please format the next time. ^_^

Another chapter of a fic that doesn't see that many fics. Which is quite
disheartening, since I find KOR quite cute. ^_^ Anyway, a great chapter
and David's getting into his stride for this one.

Series Summary:
I changed a few events in the movies, then advanced the timeline by 40
years. This just doesn't do it justice though, so you'll just have to
read it.
Segment Summary:
Here, we introduce some of the secondary characters (Yuko Tegami, Ruri
Matsushira, Rumiko Hoshino, etc.), you'll get a bit more on exactly how
the most important secondary character, Asuka, comes to be here, and a
nice creepy bit with some photos happens.
Review:
Pretty weird, though I love the feel. It carries quite a punch: the descriptions
are quite verbose, and pretty damn good pacing. Conversations and dialogue,
however, lack that undefinable it that makes them click for me. Anyway, the
author'll probably get better with time.
Anyway, can't wait to see more !

pilots Unit One on her maiden voyage and moves in with Misato. Soon
after, he adjust to school life and faces the second angel as well. The
real changes haven't started quite yet...
Review:
Weird shit happens once again as Sean goes on his merry way. Though
I wish that Jusenkyo thing didn't come up. I hate Jusenkyo and I'm
sick of stuff like that showing up. -_-;;;;;
Anyway, other than that it's still up to Sean's standards, though the
character is starting to become more irritating that interesting at times.
But on the whole it didn't suck totally, and I hope Sean gets his stride
back.

An alternate version of Crossed Destinies. Ranma 1/2 told with NGE
characters not according to appropriate roles, but according to the
previous fic.
Review:
To be honest, well, I'm not exactly jumping up and down in joy for
the concept. I'm getting tired of Ranma, maybe reading three or four
of them everyday is starting to get to me.
Anyway, its Rokubungi not Rotubungi, BTW. As for the fic, it's got
a few interesting moments, but I nodded off somewhere in the middle.
Sorry about that, pretty average fic, nothing special.

Review:
A well-written OMG fic, though the formatting could do a little work. The
concept is just so interesting and the comedy is pure OMG. I loved
it a lot, though I envision problems when the other sisters arrive, especially
Belldandy.

Mara from possibly unleashing some great evil into the world. But all
is not as it seems. Somewhere in the shadows someone is watching. And
everything is going as they desire. Can even the combined might of the
Norns and the Slayer stop Mara from destroying the world?
Segment Summary:
Hot on Mara's trail, Urd, Skuld and Belldandy arrive in Sunnydale. But
they hardly have time to get their bearing before the city is hit by a
small earthquake. A quake that, according to Belldandy, was not caused
by nature. With this omen looming large Urd goes in search of a mystery
man who may have knowledge of Mara's plans. Meanwhile, Belldandy and
Skuld run into a gang of vampires and a certain vampire Slayer.
Review:
Weird but interesting. I'm starting to see Buffy being the live-action series
of choice for anime crossovers. Anyway as I said pretty interesting. The
dialogue is pretty good and the plot seems plausible enough. But I have
the feeling that the author hasn't hit his/her stride yet and it's a bit ...
slow.
Well, keep up the good work and polish it up a bit.

DevilHunter of the Kuno Clan? Nodoka Saotome - past lover of a Demon
Lord? Tempted to do a boggle of disbelief? No need; just read An

returns to haunt the living.
Segment Summary:
Akane returns to Nerima subtly changed by Ranma's cure. The only person
to notice is Cologne who has also arrived back from China with a great
deal of information from the Amazon archives. The Nerima gang head out
to sea on the back of the Great Devourer, Umibouzu, in search of another
potential ally - only to learn that Shukumaru is not the only enemy
interested in stopping them.
Review:
This is the sort of thing that pumps the life back to Ranma fics for me.
Action, intrigue and all that. Pretty interesting fic with good writing and
dialogue backing it up, not to mention the plotting.
A must read for Ranma enthusiasts out there, this will probably become
a classic of the genre.

Some happy moments and some sad. Akane and Ranma love each other, but
is that enough to keep them together? Will James Davidson ever finish
the book on Akane's life he is writing? Not if his fianc�e, Hanaki Ono,
keeps distracting him.
Segment Summary:
Life or death battle against the Buyierfei. Will Akane and Sanma want
to pay the high price of victory?
Review:
Another of the last remaining enjoyable Ranmafics out there. Probably one
of the best, though the fic vaguely reminds me of Rob Barba's Tales of

matters is this fic is great. The writing, the dialogue, the plotting, everything.

Review:
You know, this would have been better if you had just wrote a Crying Freeman fic.
I have to admit it's well-written, very well at that. But the concept is a bit, I dunno...
offputting? Anyway, though the concept is a bit bland, the writing well makes up for
it. This a pretty above-average fic in the writing department, though I can see

D.B. Sommer's excellent Shampoo 1/2 series is now all-prose with the last

Review:
Another chapter of a good popcorn fic, meaning that when I read this I
usually have popcorn. Mostly because the fic reads like a movie. Anyway
the standards are as always up to the usual, though I'm starting to get
bored with the fic. The I'm-Jaded-With-Ranma Syndrome is catching up
and I'll probably be nodding off in a few chapters or so.
But for what it's worth, this is a pretty good fic.

If you want to pull this off, you've got to be a really spectacular writer and
also the fact that this snaps my disbelief suspenders...
Hell, this will probably turn out as a pretty average Ranmafic except for

shortness, I'm getting tired after writing a lot.

Summary:
It's crossover time as Joel and the bots are forced to riff a Sailor
Moon Lemon Crossover with 'Color of Money'. Highlights include Ami and
Tom Cruise boinking on a pool table, token lemon scenes with no
relevance to the plot, the return of the mysterious KEN, and Paul
Newman's in there somewhere, I think. Meanwhile, outside the theater,
the Satellite of Love faces a serious crisis and only Gypsy can save it
from almost certain destruction. Intrigued? Read the MSTing. Feedback
is very welcome! ;P
Review:
Hilarious MST. Next.

Series Summary:
Sailor Scouts vs. Terminator. A cheesy sequel to the fic the FFIRC said
"Was almost well done."
Segment Summary:
Stuff happens, people run around like morons, and I make lots of bizarre
jokes and comments.
Review:
The mention of this fic actually perked me up a little. This baby's really funny
read it, for the Terry Pratchett-like prose and comedy if anything else.

Series Summary:
A bunch of not very normal people get thrown into the twilight zone.
The fight against the Dynasty. The fight to figure out exactly what the
Dynasty is to begin with.
Segment Summary:
Damion's alive. Everyone's happy about that. The main characters
finally all sit down and start talking. Stuff happens.
Review:
Nice. Pretty good dialogue and pretty nice prose, though the formatting
sucks.
Now have to go to sleep.
