Concept is made of crack, but overall a very nice fic. Looking forward to more.

So glad to see a new chapter! I've been watching the google docs version for updates since I heard about it, and it has been neat to see it take shape.

I can't overstate how thrilled I am that you're still working on this, your fans eagerly await Noriko's next story. And in this case Asuka can't wait either. Keep up the work, each little bit counts in the end!

Ah Dartz,

You have really progressed in your storytelling. I remember reading this whole thing before. It is so much better now.

Prime Starfish?

My own ideas for my revamped 'CRB4407' have that little problem taken care of. Let's just say that multiple launches of W-71 warheads plus a Positron shot from Rei will light-up the world of that Angel.

I like what you have done with Noriko; her coming to terms with his/her duality. This is a much more polished and real-life feeling fic than what you had previously posted in the original version.

Makes me wish that I had saved a copy of the original.

I can't believe that you got help from Doug Sangnoir! Who's next; maybe Yumeko Asagiri, or Bert Van Vliet?

I really hate to state this, but you seem to be taking-over the spot that Random had on this site with this story that you are spinning-out before us. As in taking the reader and enmeshing(?)them into the story.

To think that an Irish Engineer with a deep well for Guinness could raise the standards of the SI community; this is a challenge for me to finish my own story. I guess I should go on spacebattles to punt my own ideas around and see what happens.

Of course, I'm drinking Hakutsuru sake from Kobe right now!

I salute you, sir.

Grammar is correct, punctuation is impecable, and only a few mispellings show; that may be my brouser and/or maybe a virus in the mix or FFN. I keep a paperback version of The New Merriam-Webster Pocket Dictionary on my desk to keep me honest ( Besides using Word 2003 spell-check).

Your writing paints vivid pictures in my mind, like I might be actually watching this on a CRT or a flat screen. You are much more vivid than you were previously. I wonder what caused your muse to explode with this creative joy.

I will be holding-on with both hands for this elevator ride that you are taking us on.

Thank you for your imagination and ability to put-down on paper your thoughts and dreams for us normal people.

If you have the time, send me a note about your new perspective.

A faithfull reader since you-know-when

Jintsu

most self inserts are horrible and changing genders make it worse but you pull it off really well.

Oh lawdy! An update! I thought the fic died long ago.

Oh man, I'd like this fic more if it updates more often, pretty please?

End the story and contenue it as a sequel, if yoyr afraid about that! (joking)

The fic is really good.

Don't end it here, that would be a shame. Especially after all the nice fun and things that you have worked out and put in at this point in the story. I like the Kawaru hating, and it is good fun to see how things will go from here.

I am in -awe-. Your writing is fantastic, and this is one of my favorite story concepts.

Every time I see a new chapter and come and read it I'm both intimidated and inspired to keep trying my own SI. Watching Noriko grow into herself, and walk the line between growing as a person and resisting the loss of her previous self is a real treat. I hope there's more interaction with Shinji and Rei to come.

Not that I have any preferences on romantic entanglements, Mind-but comparing notes with Rei and Shinji and their difficulties in defining their 'selves' could be an interesting character study, as well as enlightening for the first and third children.

Asuka is Asuka. You've managed to make her more or less tolerable to me, so kudos for that. Anyway, Thanks so much for posting this. It was great.

::chuckles:: This just keeps getting better and better. Your story is giving me all sorts of ideas, too. ::nods:: One thing that I keep getting, however. I keep getting the feeling that Kaworu doesn't quite know that Noriko is NOT actually Noriki. Just someone MORE than Noriko. ::thinks:: I'm probably explaining it badly but that's what it seems like to me. Kaworu talked about NORIKO saying she doesn't want to die through several dimensions. He says nothing at all about you, Dear Heart, "being there" as well. Weird, ain't it?

Looking forward to the next chapter.

Take care and thanks for sharing.

So happy to see a new, and huge, chapter of one of my all time favourite stories come out! Great character development in here, and it's good to see that Misato and Asuka at least have taken notice of Noriko's attitude. It really gives the story, and their characters, even more depth that can be hard to find in 1st person stories. So often other characters in those stories seem to exist only to react to the main character's brilliance.

Amazingly well written as always. Waiting with bated breath for the next chapter and what Noriko says to Asuka.

Cheers!

So the shit's finally gonna hit the fan? Can't wait.

it's a liiiive!

if i where her i'd say that it was arael that attackd the plane and mind attackd her and she saw inside its mind too.

and the reason she never said anything was because she was afraid of what NERV whould do

I love huge chapters.

I love huge well written chapters.

I love huge well written chapters of self insert genderbending fun.

I like your work.

I don't understand... It's self insert gender bender... But its really good!

Seriously, I wish I could write half as good as this

A shame there isn't more! I've re-read this twice already.

Groups of my favorite fanfics grow active and get quiet in waves it seems. I hope you can find inspiration eventually but take it easy; it's no good if you aren't having fun!
