Sorry to hear that. I've liked what I've read of your fics, though they could have used some more editing time. If you do give them a rehaul let me know and I'd be happy to read them.

P.S. Apologies for not replying sooner; I've been away for several weeks.

P.P.S. And now for your amusement, a couple of comments I made about fanfics back in 2003.

Gracias mucho. Oh and don't worry about replying I figured you do it eventually. Don't expect any rehauls within the next five-hundred billion years though. I think the only one that I would ever want to re-write would be The Fry Idenity. But like I said I have other non-Futurama related projects which you can find parts of one on my Deviant account.

Huh, promote my egoness much?

Oh also my opinion on fan fics when I joined in 04' well it really hasn't changed.

I'm a FUCKING prodigy, what have you accomplished?

Hate to say it though, I sent you the revised first act quite some time ago and have managed one chapter since then.

However if both of you would be interested in beta-reading my KOTOR fanfic as well and offering the same great general insight, I'd be delighted

Besides, like I say, Fred was in completely the same boat.
No harm in trying at least, if you're still interested?

Kif, I'm glad that the fan fiction is back up. Also I'm glad you got your NNYPD Blue story. My apologies for never returning a review on your 2nd draft. I got busy. But I was impressed with the 1st one.

Understandable. The writing thing is hard - great to start with a great premise then find out you've either gone out-of-character or painted yourself in a corner.

Still, what you're made public so far is great - I'd just like to see where the Leela arc is going - our favorite cyclops is not one for being helpless so paininting her as being depressed is very in character, and Fry not mking it for their date is sure to make her feel worse.

So anyway...as "the update question" has been broached several times, I thought I'd just put the info here rather than egregiously bumping my fic thread just to say "no updates yet."

The long and short of it is, I have some good news, some bad news, and some more good news.

Good news: I was working on my story some while I was incommunicado. Bad news: mostly I ended up writing stuff that happens much later in the story; so even though I wasn't lazy, the fruits of that particular labor won't be appearing soon. Mea culpa.

The more good news is that writing that later-on stuff has clarified the middle portions more in my mind (which was why I did it, 'cause I was having a case of the "Act II blues" and had to break through it); and so, yes, I'm nearly ready to pick up where I left off. (crosses fingers)

In other words while an update isn't immanent, it is on the foreseeable horizon.

And I also wanted to say thank you, everyone who asked...sometimes I do grumble about being pounced for updates whenever I raise my head, but it's only because I wish I could spend all my time writing and show up with gifts whenever I come by - I hate not being able to please everybody all the time, darn it! But still, it does gratify my writer's ego that people like my stuff enough to want more, even if sometimes I act like an ungrateful grouch. So I just wanted to say "Thanks!" to you all, for being such a great bunch of people and such a pleasure to write for.

Aaaaaaand....that's the news from Shinyshire, thanks for tuning in.

Anyway, welcome back to PEEL, Ms. Shiny.

I shall not bother you by asking about your story, but I will say that I'm glad that your computer woes are resolved so that you can join in the fun of comparing and contrasting the characters of a cancelled cartoon show.

Anyway, I'm posting up right now before anyone can protest a spoiler for movie 2 of my 'Evil Parallel Universe' Trilogy. And don't worry, it's not like one of those Douglas Adams trilogies, where there's actually five volumes...

Spoilers ahead! Highlight to read.

Due to breaking United Universe Law by traveling to Universe A (an act believed to destabilize spacetime), Universe #522912 is forced to spend one standard yead suspended from the UU. Phillip, however, is not concerned, due to the alliance not being neccessary anymore. However, due to certain time-traveling actions not taken by a certain person in Universe #522912, the entire fabric for the space-time of Universe #522912 is falling apart. So they are forced to open diplomatic relations with the only universe not in the UU: Universe A. And that means negotiating with, you guessed it, Zapp Brannigan. However, en route to DOP Headquarters, a slight accident occurs, forcing Turanga to take command of the Nimbus. Everyone, except Phillip, becomes sure that Turanga is up to something. (Nobody seems to trust her that much) But Phillip and Turanga seem to have stumbled upon something much more disturbing... Was Ms. Amy Wong really dead? (I smell a 'Search For Spock' parody...)

But feel free to read it and tell me what you think

Sure, you let everyone else know in advance, but you let me shoot my mouth (or typing hand?) off and make a fool of myself...

I also think you put three pages of writing into the easiest boss battle of the game, but we'll see when I'm done reading.

And on an unrelated side note, I miss Layla too.

Alright, I finished. Interesting, Zed, quality writing style, if a bit verbose (you may want to trim your author's note to give away fewer details). A good story, and one that manages to surprise me in places despite having experienced a version of it twice already. Your characters are pretty spot-on, though the fear among the Jedi characters toward the beginning is a bit odd. After all, they've survived a few run-ins with the Sith before now, and they're getting all emotional even before they know they have a Lord after them. The revelation of HK-47 is good, and I liked Bandon's extremely prolonged death. To me, though, *spoiler*Revan*/spoiler* was never one to second guess herself that much, but maybe that's just how I played him.

Pronouns are fun

Overall, I award you 500 XP, and Nadia 1 Dark Side Point.

And this time I mean it!

(Fry leans over to read a sign on the door)
Fry: Wow... Free Klein bottle with any purchase!
Bender: Really? Let me see!
(Bender pushes Fry out of the way to read the sign)
Bender: You idiot! It says 'Inquire within'!

(Fry and Bender are perusing the shelves)
Fry: Hey, Bender take a look at this! It's a Mobius strip no-wear belt drive, with warranty!
(Bender walks over, interested)
Bender: Really?
(Pause)
Bender: You idiot! It says 'See other side for details'!
