I know the feeling.  I have notes for at least one Red River story, a  
Ranma story that I may get to someday, and a half-complete El Hazard  
story that I really must finish off.  To say nothing of the *non*- 
fanfic stories that, nowadays, are starting to look ever more  
attractive.

As far as the crossover suggested by the title ... well, I decided I  
didn't mind doing a little misleading. :)  I've seen a number of SM  
crossovers with Doctor Who (Setsuna and the Doctor are perfect for  
getting up each others' noses) and some of them have been pretty  
good, but I don't currently have any thoughts of my own in that  
direction.

Though, some to think of it, I don't recall seeing any crossovers  
where the Doctor himself becomes a senshi (perhaps with a judicious  
dose of Jusenkyo water).  But it's probably only a matter of time ...

And yet, it's surprising how mind-blowingly tantalising some of those  
fusions can be. :)

Will think about it, but I don't know -- it does seem to add  
something, to my ear.  Possibly just noise, admittedly.

I, er, did mention that it was late at night.  Dark.

No particular reason for it to be, admittedly.  My first draft had a  
very different ending involving a bar, which required them to be a  
bit older.

Though it was a fairly common phrase, but okay.  Fixed.

Heh.

Picky. :)  I could make it "disdaining" but that's a little obscure.

I hope you're going to write that one up as a Fusion that Should  
Never Be.

Thanks.

Cheers,
