Tips for new readers

1) Learning Japanese: If you have no idea what all those terms in fanfics mean, go to http://www.animelab.com. It has a really usefuil Japanese dictionary.

About my fics:

YGO:

1.) Yami Marik is never in my fics. Terrifying, evil psychopath... I've had nightmares about the guy.

2.) Yami Bakura is still evil, but less extreme--he won't allow Bakura to get hurt, or injure him himself. He CLAIMS he needs him to take over the world, but he cares about his "host" like an older brother.

3.) I use all dub names and info, so Domino City is on the East Coast, near New York (my hometown--I couldn't resist). Bakura, Kaiba and Ryouroka (my OC) are still from Tokyo, so they speak Japanese, and Ryouroka throws Japanese words and phrases into her everyday speech. (I can only speak "fangirl Japanese"--not real, conversational Japanese. Which is why my characters tend to switch rather abruptly between languages.)

4.) Amane is alive, and living with her mother in Tokyo. Bakura's parents are divorced, and he lives with his father. At least, he would, if Yaten Bakura was ever home. (He's an archaelogist.)

GO:

1.) To save time, I'm going to put a full physical description of Aziraphale here: Early 30s, blue/gray eyes, sandy blond curly hair, lots of tweed, a little bit pudgy. Not "fat", but out of shape. Wears gold-wire-rimmed glasses, even though (unless I decide to write an AU with him and Crowley as humans) he doesn't need them.

2.) You need this link to understand Ineffability Ch. 3 : http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060221/ap_on_go_su_co/scotus_religious_tea. I would have put it in the AN for that chapter, but this site's being a bitch.

Tokyo Mew Mew

1.) For the love of God, people: there is not one single computer in the WORLD that doesn't have MS Word and Spellcheck. USE IT. If you can type, you should be able to spell.

2.) "So Much For My Happy Ending" and "Fairytales" are oneshots.

Samurai 7

1.) Ukyo lives. Heihachi and Kyuuzou do not.

Last Exile

1.) My LE fanfics are being translated into Italian by the wonderful Blejan! You can read them here.

2.) Prester is doomed. Therefore, "Firefly's Light" and all related stories take place either during an apocalypse in progress or on the blue planet.

3.) Last Exile has a definite Greek influence, so most of my minor characters are stolen/kidnapped from the Odyssey and the Iliad. Chapter dedications go to those who can tell who I stole and which book he or she came from. In "Butterfly's Mask", most of my minor characters are named after insects (the bad guys) or ancient Roman writers. Yes, I'm a giant nerd. In classical Greek, "Daphne" means "laurel tree", hence the character's comment that the hotel in "Firefly's Light" chapters 5-6 (the Laurel Branch) is named after her. Curtos is the scientific name of a certain genus of firefly closely related to the Luciola genus. The entire Priamides family and related subplot, featured in chapters 2 through 5, is stolen from the Iliad.

4.) Delphine is dead, and she's staying dead. So is Alex.

5.) All the chapters in "Butterfly's Mask" are named after types of butterfly or moth, and most have something to do with what's in the chapter. Pelopidas, for example, is a genus of butterfly, so the chapter in which he "appears" is titled "Dark Branded Swift," Pelopidas agna.

About Flames

There really is no excuse for flaming a story. If you don't like a story, don't review. It's just common sense. If you have flamed me...exasperated sigh...there's something called "common courtesy". Don't review just to tell me my story sucks. It just wastes my time and yours, besides pissing me off. If you want me to write better, leave suggestions as to how I can improve my story. Yelling at me DOES NOT MAKE ME WRITE BETTER, it just makes me angry and depressed. Angry and depressed people do not write well. Capite? (You understand?)

Constructive criticism, on the other hand, is both allowed and heartily encouraged. If you think you can help me make my stories better and more enjoyable, I'd love to hear from you, so please feel free to review.
