i can just see them now, asuka being all 'look at me, i'm awesome', while shinji looks at the ground and fidgets nervously. can't be sure about misato because she almost has split personalities depending on if she is on or off duty. ritsuko will give the short censored version of the data for the evas, and rei will stare at the camera and give one word answers.

You're not updating are you? (rhetorical)
That's too bad.

To My Greatest Fan:

Well I guess I should be honored... I've never had anyone dislike me or my writing this much. I always thought that I was my most critical reader, but apparently I was mistaken.

So the real question is, who pissed in your sunshine?

I'll probably never know. I suppose I did something to anger you, or maybe you just like leaving flames for fun. That's cool I guess. You have a nice flair for humor and sarcasm, and those are traits that I've always admired. And in some of your flames you even show a bit of writing skill yourself.

However, as excellent as you are in your pursuit of flaming, I have a few bits of advice for you. If you really want to break my spirit and stop me from writing you're going to have to work a bit harder at it. And I don't mean adding more flames to the story, as that will only annoy me at beast. If you want to break my heart, you're going to have to provide proof and examples for all these acusations. Show me WHERE I've gon wrong in writing. And give me examples of the numerous mistakes you seem to believe I've made (oh and don't get me wrong, I know I've made my fair share of writing blunders... I'm far from perfect at it). Until you show me my errors, I'll be unable to take you seriously, and will merely laugh at your attempts to belitle me with only mild annoyance, because honestly you are quite funny.

However I found your last review to be a bit less in quallity than the others. It just didn't have that certain... Umph! if you know what I mean. In any case, you've managed to make me do something I normally would not: I deleted two of your reviews. While I have nothing against free expression and what not, I don't want potential readers looking at the story and thinking it's better than it actually is based on the review count. So I shall only leave one of your reviews per chapter. If you'd like to flame this story again, I ask that you please be patient with me and wait until the next chapter comes out.

until then, have a nice life.

~Fresh C

p.s.- I tried to save the best of your reviews and get rid of the lesser of the two. I think the one that I left best reflects your hatred of my writing in general and this story (which I'm not sure that you've read at all).

Wonderful! Brilliant! Amazing! GENIUS!

All terms that have nothing to do with this pathetic, poorly planned and generally stupifying work that has left my life with fifteen minute less that I should have done something worthwhie with.

If you have succeeded in anything, it would be that you have effectively made this fanfiction site a little less happy, and a little more morose.

If you can't help it and absolutely feel the need to contribute to the world with your writing, perhaps your talents would be better suited in writing the dinner menu at a local truckstop. At least then you would have the benefit of knowing that the prostitues and truck drivers would smile each time they read your material.

I hope never to see any more chapters to this story henceforth which would require my reporting you to the authorities at large, and perhaps commiting myself to the finding and removal of your computer.

I REALLY like this story. I love the plot and the storytelling is just SUPERB! I like how Chen and Naomi are getting to know each other really well. PLEASE keep writing this story and get Chen to interview at least Misato, Ritsuko, and at least one of the pilots in the next chapter. And I hope Chen and Naomi become really good friends with each other later in the story. Keep writing man!! ^^

Creppy. All that Secruity stuff sounded like it was comming from machines instead of humans. Gendo was IC I believe. 'Techinically off-duty' indeed. I bet there will be one less intelligent pyscho in the world soon.

I'll tell you right now that this is one kick ass story. Kick ass. The context, writing style, and dialogue are beautiful and very professionally done. You have a premise and an idea that I haven't seen before, so that's some more BA win right there.

Also, Chen is a very realistic and interesting OC, as well as original. You see pilot, agent, and worker OCs all the time, but a reporter is not a character many people bring into a series, so I like that.

This b##@ing of a story is favorited. Awesome job once again.

This should be interesting, I really look forward to him meeting the kids, and seeing the Evas that should be a cool image. keep writing it looks great

So Fresh C loves Men...sa. Yeah! that's right, he loves Mensa, would love to be a member of-ahh screw it...
Any way...nice story, the concept is new, the writing is fresh (get it?) and overall, while serving as an introduction for ACC's (and if Chen suddenly sprouts wings, get a synch rate of 400% and begins to get laid with all the girls I will sic upon thee an easily pissed off red-head) I know this will become another one of my favorites...
Keep on keepin' on keepin' it keepin' on...

wow, another cleaver consept. I like the way you can make it inteligent enough to read, yet simple enough to keep it easy to read. keep it coming!

I was at first wondering why a public relations person would seem so blase when confronted with a tragedy her organization had caused. When it turned out to be an agent, I just smiled. I loved how you pulled that off.

I think I'm really going to like this. I haven't read any stories coming at Eva from this angle. I don't think ACC's are...uh...dun-dun-dun-y. They are new ways to look at old things, which is important because I think it's stagnation that's metastasizing in the heart of fan fiction, not original characters.

As for canon characters, Gendo's short scene, and the story related to Chen by the hooded "lunatic", were just fine. From Chen's perspective he's opening the doors to Jurassic Park. The commander's quiet menace is a tease for what he might really be in for.

That Chen is a journalist also sets up possibilities for some nice conflict. Well, not *nice*...you know what I mean. Hope to see more of this soon.

My first reaction to seeing this was "wtf why isn't he working on Whipped?" as it should've been. But after reading this, I really question which fic I like more. Your style of humor and seriousness worked real well with this.

SPOILERS

The beginning had me thinking it was going to be mainly horror or some sort of derivative, with some horrible secrets about NERV uncovered, causing Chen to end up just a little mad. You're keeping some of these elements, if I'm not mistaken, but going a slightly different route then first impressions gave. Nice intro, worked well with the geo-front scene and the beginning of the next one. Sets the tone real well.

Once we hit security things changed a little. The horror parts were still there, but mixed with more humor. As I got further into the scene I had this idea of something you might do, but I wasn't sure. "No way...wait...is he going to do it?...ZOMG LOL!" Cavity search = win...in a fic.

Lots of tension in the scene with Gendo. Shows Chen wasn't invited by the higher ups in NERV, but in SEELE. Makes me wonder if he's being used as a pawn somehow.

Chen's hitting on "Naomi" introduces some more humor and the "crazy" was great. I'm not entirely sure, but the part about the homeless sure seemed like some satire to me.

Chen is definately the good kind of ACC. He started out generally unassuming and liking NERV, but it makes sense how after seeing some things he might start to doubt them. Naomi was also well done. Real professional and at the same time like a rose. Chen will have to keep an eye out for thorns.

END SPOILERS.

Introducing more canon characters will certainly stir things up a little more. An interview with Shinji, Asuka, Rei or all of the above would certainly be interesting. But for now, I like how you've introduced Chen and Naomi and given a solid base characterization for the both of them.

Overall: Highly recommended. If you're reading this review, read this fic. Definately enjoyable and different. Take notes. Alerted, for the moment...I'll have to see about making room on my favorites list, but for now I'll wait for a second chapter.

EvSoc Reviewer: Himonky-you know where to find us.

Hi Fresh I thought you gotta know for every Evangelion story you make while I await an ending to "The Sweetest Lies". I love that your trying new things but man I need the ending to my favorite story of yours. I am sure many things weigh heavily as to why it has not finished but I do hope you don't forget about your loyal flcl fans. Later Gator.
