Actually Purpura's comment about Minako and Renee's friendship is kind of interesting. Maybe I'm taking this from the a very psychosexual literary interpretation (I had an English lit professor in college who had psychosexual theories on just about every literary character imaginable, so maybe she rubbed off on me just a lil lol) but it does seem like Renee might have a ll bit of a girl crush on Minako lol. Why else would she all of a sudden be so pissed that Minako is a rival priestess and has sumthin going on with Nick? I know its definitely not intentional, but I can just see how the case is made. I'd totally buy into that theory.

No it makes sense... Sometimes as writers we do things subconscuiousl y. Which I think is the coolest thing because then the peces begin to come together on their own.

no I totally agree. I've actually thought that in quite a few places.But it's definitely more on Renee's side. I alway kind of wondered if that was part of her hatred for Minako. Especially after Nick came into the picture.

I have noticed since your fic has become the story of the month that a lot of fantasy/sci fi stories are popping up on AC. There are at least two on the front page as of right now which I thought was interesting. Maybe they were inspired by you? Or perhaps it's a random coincidence lol

Either way, just wanted to say that :)

Yes there are two brand new stories posted that aren't challenges not sure if they are sci fi or fantasy or maybe a combo of both but judging by the summaries they are longer fics.

Interesting.... Well, I wish them the best of luck. :)

On a totally unrelated note, but since it is my month... The created of the Abridged Series posted my fan art on his LiveJournal. *happy squee* The one the icon is from. That just about made my week.

Also, I'm drawing a picture of the group (in PBox) in celebration of my month.... Just thought I would let you all know that. :)
