============================================================================== *** Bubblegum Crisis Fan Fiction Guide *** bgc.fan-fiction-guide A Guide to Bubblegum Crisis Fan Fiction. Version 1.3 Released October ??, 2000 ============================================================================== This is an incomplete list of Bubblegum Crisis Fan Fiction available on the internet. Most of the stories should be available at the Fan Fiction archive at ftp.cs.ubc.ca /pub/archive/anime-fan-works. Most stories are located in /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC Anonymous posts are NOT accepted. All stories at ftp.cs.ubc.ca archive site are compressed using the "gzip" standard, be sure to have an un-zipper handy. If you have no access to an un-zipper which handles "gzip" files, you can request the ftp site uncompress the file before sending it to you. In order to do this, simply request the file without the ".gz" extension (i.e. if the file is listed as bgc.burst.gz, request the file bgc.burst). This option imposes additional load on the ftp server, so it should not be used unless you have no other option for uncompressing the file.

The ADPolice files OVAs will also be considered when ADP stories are written. ============================================================================== Entry Format: Title: "The Title the author gave the work" Author: "The name of the author if known" Location: "The location of the work on the net" Status: "The status of the work: complete [COM] (author has ended the story), to-be-completed [TBC] (author is still working on the story and plans to finish it), lost-interest [LI] (author has lost interest in writing this story, no one on the net has requested the story be finished, or the author does not have time or desire to complete the story), unknown [UNK] (author could not be found and story is not complete) Date: "The date the work was completed or last updated or the administration date on ftp.cs.ubc.ca site" Type: "The general type of story, see Story Type below" Synopsis: "Generally a short description of the story" (I'll try and not give the story away). Personal: "My personal comments on the story" All stories are in alphabetical order by author, then by date, then by story title if needed. The date is either the date the author put in the story or the date/time stamp on the computer system the story is stored on.

For stories that span multiple titles the stories will be listed in the order the stories should be read. ============================================================================== Story Type: The BGC Fan Fictions in this list are divided into 9 general categories, the categories are described below: 1) ORIGINAL - Does not alter any of the known BGC universe. May attempt to fill in missing pieces not seen in the OVAs. But keeps the mystery about some of the characters intact. Could have been inserted into the original OVA series between any of the episodes. 2) ALTERING - Changes past history of the BGC universe, alters the out come of what was seen in the original OVAs or alters character personalities greatly. Basically the story feels like Bubblegum Crisis but has been changed and could not be inserted between any of the OVA episodes or OVA series. Examples of altering are: different person kills Largo or Mason, Sylvie does not die, a new member joins before the OVA series is completed... (any event that would later change part of the Bubblegum Crisis/Crash OVAs). 3) NON-OVA - This type of story has the Knight Sabers involved in situations that are not seen in the OVAs. Generally takes the BGC cast in a new direction and may break away from the original format style or explore avenues not taken in the OVA series. Basically the story could not be inserted between OVA episodes of either series without changing the feel of the series. 4) CROSSOVER - The cast of BGC meets characters from another series. (this includes other Fan Fictions) 5) UNUSUAL SETTING - This type of story is typically putting the cast of the BGC universes in a setting that would normally never happen. Examples include: time travel, space travel (beyond our solar system), dimensional travel, the addition of magic, super-powers, and/or mutants to the Bubblegum Crisis universe. 6) PARODY - This story pokes fun at the Bubblegum Crisis series or generally does not take the series or the fan fiction being written seriously. 7) LEMON - This story contains sexual activities or strong adult content. The story may not be suitable for younger readers. 8) POEM - This fan created work is a poem or a song about Bubblegum Crisis. 9) NO IDEA - These stories did not fit into any of the above formats. Or any combination of the above. If a story starts as Original but slips into Altering I will list it as Original / Altering. Or if a story is a crossover to another series that has magic in it or the crossover is done through dimensional hopping it will be listed as Crossover / Unusual Setting.

But one mission does not go as planned. Personal: This is a short 3 page story that is totally generic and does not have any of the AD Police or Bubblegum Crisis characters in it. It could be considered a beginning story of the formation of the AD Police but nothing even hints at it being Bubblegum Crisis in nature. The story is only about three pages and very incomplete. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Bubblegum Crisis "Beevis and Butthead" Author: Rich Anderson (radman@venice.mps.ohio-state.edu) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.beevis-and-butthead.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Sep 29, 1994 Type: Crossover / Parody Synopsis: Beevis and Butthead from MTV are wandering the streets of MegaTokyo. Can even the Knight Sabers contain the damage? Personal: This story is written in script format. The story is nicely written (if any thing containing Beevis and Butthead could be labeled nice). A short three page story. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: God's Toy Author: Christopher Angel (c_j_angel@hotmail.com) Location: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/6549/amg/amg.html or: http://angel.megami.net Status: UNKNOWN Date: ??? Type: Unusual Setting / Altering Synopsis: Kami-Sama is bored so he creates the Bubblegum Crisis Universe and then turns it into a fan fiction by dropping in Chris Angle. Since Chris is an agent of Kami-Sama he has some rather unique powers and abilities. Kami-Sama personally asks Sylia to look after him and to help him fit in. Personal: This story is written in paragraph format. The plot is straight forward with no unpredictable twists in the story line. The characterization of Chris is well done. The Knight Sabers are more the Knight Sabers of Crash than Crisis even though the events in the story are from the first Crisis OVA. The first half of the story is an introduction of Chris and is new material. The later parts of the story are just a retelling of the first Crisis OVA but with Chris being involved in it. There are a large number of grammar mistakes in the story. Two parts of the story are available. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Bubblegum Flash Author: Ken Arromdee (karromde@nyx10.nyx.net) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.cutey-honey.bubblegum-flash.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Feb 6, 1998 Type: Crossover / Altering Synopsis: Sylvie and Anri have escaped from the space station Genaros. They encounter a interesting woman named Honey Kisaragi (formerly know as Cutey Honey). Honey befriends the two boomers and helps them adjust to life. Even going so far as to help the Knight Sabers stop Largo when he tries to draw Sylvie and Anri into his boomer revolution. Personal: This fan fiction draws on the Anime series Cutey Honey. Honey is the main character and the Knight Sabers are more of a supporting cast. There is only minor character development and most of it is done by Sylvie and Anri. The plot is straight forward with Honey helping Sylvie and Anri adjust to appearing human while trying to keep some of the elements from the original OVA series. This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. Pre-Story: A working knowledge of the Anime series Cutey Honey. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Hide and Seek Author: Richard Beaubien (beaubird@anime.sobhrach.com) Location: http://www.ozemail.com.au/~dzillman/fire or: http://www.anime.sobhrach.com/~beaubird/ Status: COMPLETE Date: ??? Type: Crossover / Unusual Setting Synopsis: Nene is working on adjusting to her new life now that her memory has returned. The problem is some of the other Knight Sabers are having trouble adjusting to the new Nene. Will this cause the group to break up or will they discover something new about themselves. Personal: This fan fiction has some nice character development in it. Not just for Nene but for all of the Knight Sabers. There is good character interaction and the dialog flows nicely. The plot is straight forward. This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. Pre-Story: The Bubble Burst ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Legion's Quest "Tangled Skeins" Author: Ed Becerra (eabecerr@henge.com) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/Miscellaneous/ legions-quest.3.tangled-skeins.gz or: http://www.henge.com/~eabecerr/anime1.html or: http://www.users.fl.net.au/~bcadwgan/Anime.htm Status: COMPLETE Date: Jan 31, 1998 Type: Unusual Setting / Crossover Synopsis: Ed Becerra (aka Legion) is still trying to get home from an experimental dimensional travel test. With the help of the AI, Minerva, on his ship named Calypso, Ed has rotated from one universe to another. This time he ends up in the Bubblegum Crisis universe. Trying to fit in might be a bit of a problem. Personal: This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. It draws heavily on the fan fiction "Twisted Path 3" making use of events that occurred in that fan fiction. Also, earlier events from other Legion Quest fan fictions are referred to as well. The plot is straight forward and characterization is done well. The story ends with the opening for a sequel. Pre-Story: Legion's Quest 1 (for back history) Pre-Story: Legion's quest 2 (for back history) Pre-Story: Twisted Path 3 (for back history and setting) Post-Story: Legion's Quest: Time and Again ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Legion's Quest: Time and Again Author: Ed Becerra (eabecerr@henge.com) Location: http://www.users.fl.net.au/~bcadwgan/Anime.htm Status: TO-BE-COMPLETED Date: Mar 8, 1998 Type: Crossover / Unusual Setting Synopsis: Ed Becerra (aka Legion) is working on repaying the debt he owes the Knight Sabers and MegaTokyo. The problem is, while he is trying to put his life back together, Genom and USSD have not given up on trying to obtain the technology Ed has. For that matter, not all of the Knight Sabers are ready to forgive him for the damage he has done to some of them (actually the damage was more to the ego of a certain Knight Saber). Personal: This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. The story is a series of several small plots linked together. The characterization is good and character interaction is well done. This is a working copy of the story and large sections of it are not complete. Pre-Story: Legion's Quest 1 (for back history) Pre-Story: Legion's quest 2 (for back history) Pre-Story: Twisted Path 3 (for back history and setting) Pre-Story: Legion's Quest: Tangled Skeins ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "In Vino Veritas" Author: Dick Beck (dickbeck@ix.netcom.com) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.in-vino-veritas.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Oct 27, 1997 Type: NON-OVA Synopsis: Genom has fallen thanks to the effort of the Knight Sabers. But in gaining the information needed to bring about the down fall of Genom two of the Knight Sabers will be shocked by what is found in Genom's computers. Personal: This is a short two page fan fiction deals with the price one has to pay to protect a friend from the truth that could destroy them. The story is written in paragraph format. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Shades of Grey (part 1) Author: Harris Bias (hbias@earthlink.net) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.shades-of-grey.gz Status: LOST-INTEREST Date: Jul 22, 1998 Type: Unusual Setting (Dimension Crossing / Time Travel) Synopsis: An armored hero named Graviton, is displaced through time and from an alternate world. He ends up in MegaTokyo. While trying to work out where he is he comes across a boomer attack. Being a hero he jumps right in and assists the police. The Knight Sabers watch from a distance and assess this new armor in action and wonder who's side is he really on. Personal: This story has a straight forward plot of a dimensionally displaced person teaming up with the Knight Sabers. It is well done and the Knight Sabers do not trust him, nor accept him at his word. This caution adds a sense of realism to the story and depth to the characters. This story is written in paragraph format. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Backup Author: Else Bibat (???) Location: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Ginza/7597/archive Status: COMPLETE Date: ??? Type: Non-OVA Synopsis: Sylia is dead. Can the Knight Sabers go on without her? Personal: The story presents a simple idea and a story format. The story is only one page long. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: RanmaPunk 2033 - The Movie Author: John Walter Biles (rhea@maison-otaku.net) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/Ranma/ranma.bgc.ranmapunk.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Sep 29, 1994 Type: Crossover / Unusual Setting Synopsis: The Knight Sabers are hired to recover some data from Souchiro Enterprises, which is owned by Kunou Enterprises. But Mendo-Mizonokouji Conglomerate is claiming the stolen data is theirs and has hired the Magnificent Seven to recover it for them. The Magnificent Seven consist of: Ranma, Akane, Genma, Ukyou, Ryouga, Mousse, and Shampoo. But not everything is as it appears. There are two mysterious groups working for their own ends. One is feeding Kunou Enterprises information. The other is helping Genom attain it's goals. But where do the Knight Sabers and the Magnificent Seven fit into all of this? and if they do fight will hardsuit technology triumph over martial arts? Personal: This story is more for the Ranma 1/2 fan. The Knight Sabers are featured but character development for them is low. The Ranma 1/2 cast has a large range of character development during this story. The fight scenes have more in common with the Ranma 1/2 fight scenes, than any Bubblegum Crisis battles (other than there are boomers getting pounded). There is a nice mystery running through the story that adds to the story. This story is written in script format. Pre-Story: An understanding of Ranma 1/2 series. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "The Dance of Shiva Author: John Biles (rhea@maison-otaku.net) or: Ranma Al'Thor (ranma@falcon.cc.ukans.edu) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/Miscellaneous/Crossovers/ xover.dance-of-shiva.gz or: http://www.maison-otaku.net/~rhea/Shiva/Shiva.html Status: COMPLETE Date: July 29, 1997 Type: Crossover / Unusual Setting Synopsis: Celia's grandmother has been in a coma for the last 13 years, so why does Genom want her dead? For that matter how was Celia's grandmother able to fight off several boomers without the help of a hardsuit? The answers to these questions lead the Knight Sabers into a conflict that brings the world to the edge of destruction. But while the Knight Sabers do not know what they are getting into some soon to be allies have at least a partial understanding of the crisis that is taking shape. But are any of them ready for the universal struggle between the forces of destruction and the forces of life. Personal: This story is a very large 20 chapter crossover. Featuring Knight Sabers, Tenchi, Sailor Moon, and Patlabor as the dominating animes of this story. Some other animes put in appearances to help things along include: AMG, KOR, Marmalade Boy, Maison Ikkoku and several others. This fan fiction is written in paragraph format and over 433 pages in length. The story is set in the year 2034 in the city of MegaTokyo. The story starts out centered around the Knight Sabers but rapidly expands to include several other Animes. The story flows well and the Animes and their characters are blended very well. The story is well designed and their are several mysteries during the story. Flash backs are used to provide background, character relationships, and information on how some of the characters came to know each other. The only draw back to this story is the size and the number of characters dealt with in this story. At times it is hard to keep track of all the characters and some of the jokes of which Anime character married who may be lost, due to the reader not knowing all the Anime Characters in this story. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Bubblegum Christmas Author: Jeremy Blackman (jeremyb@saul7.u.washington.edu) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.bubblegum-christmas.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Dec 24, 1996 Type: Poem / No Idea (Trailer for another story) Synopsis: This fan fiction is a "twas the night before Christmas ..." poem about the Knight Sabers. It is a trailer for a fan fiction that has yet to be written. Personal: An altering of the standard Christmas poem, with a few sentences thrown in about a coming BGC story. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: The Fall of the Knight Sabers and the Rise of the ADPOLICE Author: Ryan Blade (ryanblade@hotmail.com) Location: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Vault/5175/adp.html Status: COMPLETE Date: ??? Type: No Idea Synopsis: Genom is gone and the Knight Sabers have turned evil. Only the ADPolice can stop them now. Personal: This story is written in paragraph format. It completely ignores all established characterization from the OVA series. The plot is overly simplified and character interaction is poorly done. There is no character development. The story has a large number of grammar errors as well. The story is marked as No Idea due to the complete disregard for established character and plot elements from the OVA series. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "Bubblegum Force" Author: Jeroen Braamhaar or Cpt. C. Nebulart (nebulart@solnoid.xs4all.nl) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.gallforce.bubblegum-force.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Sep 13, 1996 Type: Crossover Synopsis: Rabby (from Gall Force 1), Catty, Lufy, Shildy, Spea, and Amy (from Gall Force 2 & 3) survive to the year 2032 in stasis. Rabby and Lufy are recovered by Genom and are revived. After awakening, they escape from Genom and end up with Dr. Raven who contacts Sylia for help in hiding the girls from Genom. Rabby and Lufy are asked to join the Knight Sabers. Later in the story the other Gall Force members arrive in a damaged shuttle and add to the Knight Saber's group. The story picks up the pace as Genom is trying to take over complete control of the City and the Knight Sabers strive to stop them. Personal: This story is written in paragraph format. It combines Bubblegum Crisis and Gall Force. The story is very well crafted and flows well (though there are a few too many coincidences at the start of the story that throw the flow off a little). The story would be improved by a pre-reader/editor to correct some grammar errors. The story blends the two anime together very well. There are some nice pairings of BGC to Gall Force personalities and nice character interaction. The first chapter of this story was posted in Sep 5, 1995 under the name bgc.gallforce_new-world. Post-Story: Bubblegum Crisis "Bubblegum Force II" ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Bubblegum Force II Author: Jeroen Braamhaar or Cpt. C. Nebulart (nebulart@solnoid.xs4all.nl) Location: http://www.xs4all.nl/~tsunami/ (Click on Fan Fiction) Status: TO-BE-COMPLETED Date: Feb 26, 1999 Type: Crossover Synopsis: Captain Catty Nova Nebulart, former head of Solnoid Central Intelligence survives the last war between the Solnoid and the Paranoid. With her she brings the sum total of all the Solnoid information in the form of the Elysion computer cores. Entering cryostatic sleep she programs her ship to enter Sol's solar system and hide in the rings of Saturn until Earth obtains space flight or the ship picks up Solnoid transmissions. Meanwhile an archaeological expedition unearths the landing site of Rumy and the boy created by Mission 21 (Gall Force 1). Personal: This story is written in paragraph format. It combines the Bubblegum Crisis and Gall Force elements easily. The story is a continuation of Bubblegum Force. The personalities of the characters interact well. The author has done a nice job of blending the two stories together, in a believable fashion. There are several different plot lines woven through the story. The story is up to part 3. Author: I'm busy overhauling my web page. The fanfics are temporarily offline. In, addition, I am working on BGCF2, once more. Progress is slow, but the story will be finished. Pre-Story: Bubblegum Crisis "Bubblegum Force" ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Death and Life Author: Mike Breen (mikebreen@mediaone.net) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/Death-and-Life/ bgc.highlander.death-and-life.gz or: http://www.channel1.com/users/mikeb/fic/bgc Status: COMPLETE Date: May 14, 1997 Type: Crossover / Unusual Setting Synopsis: Priss dies due to her injuries fighting Largo (this takes place between Crisis OVA 6 and 7). Priss does not stay dead, but Priss does not understand how it happened. Sylia contacts Patrick O'Brien, who is an immortal, to help explain to Priss what is happening to her. But while Priss is learning to deal with being an immortal, someone is running around MegaTokyo beheading people with the help of some boomers. Personal: This story blends the two series very well. The author only has to change a little of Priss' history to make the elements work. The story follows Priss and Patrick the most but other characters get some story time as well. All of the characters have in depth personality and some of them experience growth of the character personality in this story. There is room for a sequel to this story, though the story does come to a conclusion. Author: This story begins at the very end of BGC Episode 6, "Red Eye's" and continues until the beginning of Episode 7, "Double Vision." Also, I mentioned that Priss' parents adopted her, and after they died she was in an orphanage for the *second* time before running away. This was necessary in order to fit BGC into the Highlander universe (no Immortal can identify their biological parents). However, it is the _only_ alteration (and a minor one at that) I made to any of the character's back stories. Patrick O'Brien is an original character I created on the Highlander Fan Fiction list, and is the central character of several stories of his own. Pre-Story: An understanding of The Highlander movies or TV series. Post-Story: No More Games Post-Story: Father's Pride, Mother's Passion Post-Story: Sister Sleep Post-Story: Souls ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: No More Games Author: Mike Breen mikebreen@mediaone.net) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/Lemon/bgc.lemon.no-more-games.gz or: http://www.channel1.com/users/mikeb/fic/bgc/ Status: COMPLETE Date: Aug 14, 1997 Type: Non-OVA / Lemon Synopsis: It is early in the morning and Priss ducks into a diner to get out of the rain. And who is there? Leon. For a reason Priss can not explain she sits down and has a talk with him. But the conversation takes a turn that she was not ready for. Personal: This story is short (about four pages) but does a nice job of filling out the relationship between Priss and Leon. It is the start of their relation where they stop lying to each other about several things. The two characters have some new depth added to them. Author: Although this is set in the same overall story cycle as my BGC/HL Xover "Death and Life" (and the full sequel will draw on this) it is not an Xover, since no HL characters or other Immortals (aside from Priss), appear. Pre-Story : Death and Life (for why Priss can not have kids) Post-Story: Father's Pride, Mothers Passion (for how it all ends up) Post-Story: Sister Sleep Post-Story: Souls ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Father's Pride, Mother's Passion Author: Mike Breen (mikebreen@mediaone.net) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/Death-and-Life/ bgc.highlander.fathers-pride.mothers-passion.1.gz and: bgc.highlander.fathers-pride.mothers-passion.2.gz and: bgc.highlander.fathers-pride.mothers-passion.3.gz or: http://www.channel1.com/users/mikeb/fic/bgc/ (Act I, II, III) Status: COMPLETE Date: Apr 27, 1998 Type: Crossover Synopsis: It is September 2436 and Priss' Watcher is nearing retirement. But before he retires she wants to tell him about the events leading up to her first public death that forced her to leave MegaTokyo. What history remembers for the year of 2034 and what really happened differ greatly due to the intervention of the Knight Sabers and the Watchers. Personal: Most of this story is told as a flash back. Some of the scenes are told in a first person view point (mostly Priss') while others are third person view points. There is nice characterization and plot development within the story. There are a few twists in the plot that help to keep the reader's interest high during the story. This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. The story ends with the line, "That is a story for another evening." Which needless to say implies a sequel to this story. Author: I got very positive reactions to "Death and Life" and many people asked if I was going to write a sequel. Many people on alt.fan.bgcrisis know about my dissatisfaction with BGCrash, and how I felt there was a good story lurking somewhere beneath the crap if only the date was pushed up a year and some explanations were made for the discrepancies between the BGC characters and their BGCrash selves. Originally, I was going to write a straight BGC story within the same cycle, but with little or no Highlander influence beyond Priss' rapid healing and inability to have kids. Then they cloned that damn sheep. Pre-Story: Death and Life Pre-Story: No More Games Post-Story: Sister Sleep Post-Story: Souls ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Sister Sleep Author: Mike Breen (mikebreen@mediaone.net) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.xover.sister-sleep.gz or: http://www.channel1.com/users/mikeb/fic/bgc Status: COMPLETE Date: Apr 26, 1999 Type: Crossover / Unusual Setting Synopsis: Someone is stalking Patrick O'Brien. Some of Patrick's past has come back to haunt him. The trouble spills over onto the mortal friends that Patrick has made making matters worse. Just as Sylia and Patrick are solidifying their relationship this threatens to pull them apart. To make matters even worse the threat includes Priss, or more to be more exact her head. Personal: This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. It fills in some of the details mentioned in "Father's Pride...". The plot is well written, it does not center on the Knight Sabers but upon Patrick's immortality and the dangers it brings. There is good characterization and character development in this story. Author: A side story. What happens when an enemy decides to use the bond Patrick and Priss share to demoralize Patrick? Pre-Story: Death And Life Pre-Story: No More Games Pre-Story: Father's Pride, Mother's Passion Post-Story: Souls ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Souls Author: Mike Breen (mikebreen@mediaone.net) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.xover.souls.gz or: http://www.channel1.com/users/mikeb/fic/bgc (click on Souls) Status: COMPLETE Date: Nov 23, 1998 Type: Crossover / Unusual Setting Synopsis: The year is 2262 and White Star 72 has returned to Babylon 5. Captain Asagiri is looking forward to some quiet time with her very old friend Patrick O'Brien. Little does Priss know that she is going to get to spend some time with an even older friend courtesy of the Brakiri "Day of the Dead" celebration. The only question is: who, of all the people Priss has known, will visit her on this most unusual night? Personal: This fan fiction combines the Bubblegum Crisis Anime with the Highlander Movie/TV series and the Babylon 5 TV series. It does a nice job of combining the three series and focuses on character development of Priss and author created Patrick O'Brien. The author makes very good use of the unusual event of the Brakiri "Day of the Dead" giving Priss and Patrick one more chance to talk to someone special that has died. The presence of two immortals does not affect the Babylon 5 story line at all. The fan fiction is written in paragraph format. Pre-Story: An Understanding of the Babylon 5 TV series Pre-Story: An Understanding of the Highlander Movie/TV series NOTE: the fan fiction stories listed are only needed for background information on Priss being immortal and her relationship with Patrick O'Brien. In addition, "Fathre's Pride" fills in the relationship between Patrick and Sylia.

Grendel Kamesori (grendel_1@hotmail.com) Location: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Ginza/7597/archive Status: TO-BE-COMPLETED Date: ??? Type: Crossover / Unusual Setting Synopsis: A mysterious being offers Largo a second chance but only if he will serve him. At first Largo refuses, but when faced with such power and the possibility of revenge, he can not help but agree to serve his new master. Personal: This story is the start of a large cross over. Only a few pages have been written at this time. The story is written in paragraph format. The Knight Sabers do not appear in any of the story that is currently available. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "Bubblegum Trek" Author: Eusug Fred Byon (76132.2356@compuserve.com) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/BGC-Trek/bgc-trek.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: ??? 1992 Type: Crossover Synopsis: The Borg are back, but with a new friend from the past (Largo). But so are some time displaced heroes from the 21st century (the Knight Sabers). Can the Federation and the Knight Sabers stop the Borg and Largo from destroying the Federation? Personal: This story is written in script format. The plot feels weak and the characters are stereo typed (Priss violent, Nene a brain, ...). Personalities for the characters in this story feel flat and two dimensional. In addition, there are a large number of grammar mistakes in this work (spelled correctly but the wrong tense or a word is missing).

But can two hentai bring Christmas cheer to a ship full of women? Personal: This fan fiction is written in script format. It makes fun of Christmas, Bubblegum Trek, Charles Dickens, and Santa Claus. Pre-Story: Bubblegum Trek ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "Bubblegum Trek Data" Author: Eusug Fred Byon (76132.2356@compuserve.com) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/BGC-Trek/bgc-trek.data.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Sep 29, 1994 Type: No Idea Synopsis: This is a gathering of data about the Bubblegum Trek Universe. Information is given on the ship the Knight Sabers have in the "Bubblegum Trek" fan fiction series. Information on characters is also given. Personal: The information in this fan fiction is not really needed to enjoy any of the Bubblegum Trek stories. It does add some depth to some of the characters and background. Additional information about three future stories for the Bubblegum Trek series are mentioned. Only one story was written and the author never finished it. Pre-Story: A understanding of Star Trek : The Next Generation Pre-Story: Bubblegum Trek ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "Priss's Holodeck Fantasy" Author: Eusug Fred Byon (76132.2356@compuserve.com) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/BGC-Trek/bgc-trek.ongoing.gz Status: UNKNOWN Date: Sep 29, 1994 Type: Crossover Synopsis: Priss is having a bad day and goes to the holodeck to relax. But some new items have been added to her holodeck program. Personal: This story is written in paragraph format. The story does a fair job of displaying Priss' mood. It is short and was to be added to by other authors (kind of a group story) but never caught on. Author: Basically, I'll start the "substory", and then another person follows up the article by writing another part of the story, and so forth. Then I'll write the ending. This should be reminiscent of those "write one paragraph, pass in down" stories you wrote in high school. Pre-Story: A understanding of Star Trek : The Next Generation Pre-Story: Bubblegum Trek ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "Bubblegum Trek : Encounter at Orange Road" Author: Eusug Fred Byon (76132.2356@compuserve.com) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/BGC-Trek/bgc-trek.orange-road.gz Status: LOST INTEREST Date: Sep 29, 1994 Type: Crossover Synopsis: On the USS Stingray's maiden voyage, the god-like entity known as Q plunges the ship through a space rift. Where the crew encounters a duplicate Earth ruled by a Madoka Ayukawa. Personal: This fan fiction is written in script format. The story is slow to get started and the Star Fleet officers do not behave in a manner becoming a officer. Character personality is very flat and stereo typed. Author: "I wrote the first two parts of this ringer and after a while I decided not to finish it because, I kind of figured it was going no where fast. If you're inspired to finish it, let me know."

Now it's up to her, Commander Rau, and a trio of ex-Enterprise misfits to correct the timeline by going back to the 21st century MegaTokyo and finding the perpetrator. Personal: This fan fiction switches from script to paragraph format and back several times during the story. The plot is simple but straight forward. Some of the characters have personality and depth to them while others are lacking and are stereo typed.

While waiting for additional Starships to deal with a radiation problem, a boomer attacks the planet. But this boomer appears to be more than your average boomer. Personal: This story is written in paragraph format. The plot to this story is good and contains a bit of a mystery, what is the boomer up to? The characters have depth of personality and interact well. Several sub-plots are carried over and defined from earlier Bubblegum Trek stories. Pre-Story: A understanding of Star Trek : The Next Generation Pre-Story: "Bubblegum Trek" Pre-Story: "Bubblegum Trek: Encounter at Orange Road" Pre-Story: "Bubblegum Trek:The Hand of Fate" Post-Story: "Bubblegum Trek: Deep Space Nine" ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "Bubblegum Trek : Deep Space Nine" Author: Eusug Fred Byon (76132.2356@compuserve.com) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/BGC-Trek/bgc-trek.ds9.angel.gz Status: UNKNOWN Date: Aug 30, 1995 Type: Crossover Synopsis: The Knight Sabers are temporarily assigned to Deep Space 9, space station, in response to the Coalition's destruction of a Federation ship in the Gamma Quadrant. Personal: This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. The plot appears to be straight forward but the story is still developing. The character inter-action is done well.

It provides synopsis information on planned and written fan fictions by Fred Byon. Statistical information is given for the ship the Knight Sabers have, as well as their role in Star Fleet. Personal: The fan fiction is written in a data format (part data, part paragraph). The synopsis tells the reader what has happened in each of the stories written by Fred Byon. Other stories are mentioned but if they have been written, they have not been posted to rec.arts.anime.creative. /______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Wolf Author: Barry Cadwgan (bcadwgan@fl.net.au) Location: http://www.users.fl.net.au/~bcadwgan/wic.htm Status: TO-BE-COMPLETED Date: Apr 4, 1998 Type: Crossover / Unusual Setting / Altering Synopsis: Fenris is trying desperately to get away from some corporate pursuit. The problems start when he tries to cast a spell during the shooting and it goes wrong. Instead of displacing his image, it displaces his body to the Bubblegum Crisis universe. Can a shaman from the Shadowrun universe survive in MegaTokyo? Personal: This fan fiction draws heavily on the FASA Shadowrun Role Playing Game. If you're not familiar with the game you could be lost by some things the character Fenris does in the story. Drawing upon the Shadowrun game has provided the author-created characters great depth of character. The plot centers on Fenris and his trying to survive in MegaTokyo and the effects he has on the people he meets. The story is not complete, there are outline sections that need to be filled out yet. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "Highways" Author: Ben Cantrick (cantrick@rintintin.Colorado.EDU) Location: ftp://63.228.88.28/pub/archives/BGC_Fanfic/ Status: COMPLETE Date: May 4, 1997 Type: No Idea Synopsis: An Anime fan is out riding his motorcycle and thinks he encounters Priss on her red motorcycle. Personal: This story is written in paragraph format. It is very short and give you the feeling closer to the "Twilight Zone" than an Anime story. Author: One of the things I liked very much about a some of the short stories I've read by Stephen King is how he blends reality and fantasy in such a remarkably believable way. I tried to do that in this story, and I hope that it worked. Let me know what you think. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Bubblegum Crisis "Iron Shadows" or "Twilight Dreamer" Author: Reginald Carolipio (s0173317@cc.ysu.edu) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.twilight-dreamer.gz Status: UNKNOWN Date: Jul 14, 1995 Type: Non-OVA Synopsis: Another company has acquired Dr. Stingray's files. They are only lacking a single file, that contains a key piece of data, to start their operation. They believe that Sylia and Mackie have that data and they intend to get that data at any cost. Personal: This story is written in paragraph format. For what little there is to this story, it starts out well. The characters are given some depth and a nice mystery is being formed. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: The Price of Freedom Author: Reginald Carolipio (s0173317@cc.ysu.edu) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.the-price-of-freedom.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Dec 21, 1996 Type: Non-OVA / Altering Synopsis: The fight for freedom is about to be waged from the shadows of Mega-Tokyo. As a fantastic plot that will span both the world and the moon will erupt to bring Genom and the USSD to their knees with the Knight Sabers caught in the middle. The price of freedom will be paid in full as Dr. Stingray is avenged at last and the boomers strive forward for freedom. Personal: This story follows the leader of the boomer revolution, Travathian, more then it follows the Knight Sabers. Sylia's part is more of an opportunity for Travathian to give background information about his and Dr. Stingray's history. The other Knight Sabers are supporting characters, though Priss' personality is expanded when she is forced to take charge of the Knight Sabers when Sylia disappears. The "Altering" type placed on this story is due to a section of the story that has Largo being affected by the death of Anri. This is out of context with the OVAs, as Largo is the one that kills Anri and he does not appear to mourn her passing at all. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Springtime for Brain in Megatokyo Author: Damon Jason Casale (scyth+@andrew.cmu.edu) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/ bgc.springtime-for-brain-in-megatokyo.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Mar 20, 1997 Type: Crossover / Parody Synopsis: What happens when Picard of Star Trek The Next Generation makes a comment about needing a change of scene, you get a crossover parody. The Brain is now chairman Quincy and his assistant is a buma named Pinky. But to test the newest buma on the Knight Sabers, the Brain gets them to star in a play entitled, "Springtime in Megatokyo". Personal: A crossover parody of the most extreme. This parody is written in paragraph format. This one is not to even be remotely taken seriously. Author: I think I'm a bit late for the challenge I originally offered the Fan Fiction Mailing List though, which was to write the most outrageous fic one could possibly think of beginning with the line, "Space is a really, really empty place." ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "Miss Megatokyo 2033" Author: Casca (bertishg@db.erau.edu) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.miss-megatokyo-2033.gz Status: UNKNOWN Date: Sep 19, 1994 Type: Original Synopsis: The Knight Sabers are hired to protect a defecting scientist from Genom. The problem is the scientist's daughter will not leave the Miss Mega Tokyo pageant and one or more of the Knight Sabers must enter the pageant. In addition, Priss appears to have made Dr. Raven mad once to often. Personal: This story starts out well and has a lot of potential. There is good character development and interaction. This story takes place between Bubblegum Crisis 4 and 5. The story is in paragraph format. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Bubblegum Crush "Future's Past" Author: Nick Celani (FrankC5344@aol.com) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.crush.1.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Apr 27, 1996 Type: Unusual Setting Synopsis: What would happen if Priss had died fighting Largo? What would the world be like? This fan fiction covers one of many possible out comes of this question, when the Knight Sabers end up in a world where Largo won the fight against Priss. Personal: This story is written in paragraph format. The story includes time travel and dimensional crossing. It ends with a standard sequel type of ending. In addition, some loose ends are not tied up in this story. Most of the characters remain close to the OVA series but not all of them. The plot is fairly well done but crosses over into multiple setting, including some other Bubblegum Crisis Fan Fictions. History: This story is about two years old and I've since had my computer crash. I don't have a copy anymore but if you ask the discussion group they could point you to a place where you might down load one. Post-Story: Bubblegum Crush 2 ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Bubblegum Crush 2 "Traitors In The Midst" Author: Nick Celani (FrankC5344@aol.com) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.crush.2.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Jul 31, 1996 Type: Non-OVA Synopsis: The Knight Sabers are recovering from the strange experience they recently had and are just getting on with life. That is until Genom hires some assassins to take out the Knight Sabers. Now the Knight Sabers are forced to fight a defensive battle against an enemy that knows who they are. Even worse, Largo is lurking in the background waiting with plans of his own. Personal: This fan fiction picks up where the last fan fiction, Bubblegum Crush, left off. The plot is straight forward with only the twist of adding Largo into the story. The character interaction starts out good but gets more simple the further the story goes. The actions taken by Largo or how the assassins learned the identity of the Knight Sabers is not explain in the story. The story is written in paragraph format. Pre-Story: Bubblegum Crush ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Bubblegum Transformation Author: Jay Chan (jay_chan9@hotmail.com) Location: http://www.maxpages.com/animefanfics (goto BGC Crossovers) Status: TO-BE-COMPLETED Date: ??? Type: Crossover / Unusual Setting Synopsis: While chasing a boomer, the Knight Sabers get pulled into the world of the Transformers. Not sure who to support, the Knight Sabers hold back during the battle, which is the cause of their being pulled from their universe. Once it becomes clear which side they should aid they join the battle. Personal: This story is straight forward with its plot. There is minimal character development. Character dialog is sparse and this limits character interaction to the bare minimum. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Knight Moves Author: Kevin Chandler (chandler@telcomplus.net) Location: http://www.angelfire.com/wa/richardchase/ Status: TO-BE-COMPLETED Date: Sep 27, 2000 Type: Crossover Synopsis: Largo is alive and scheming yet again. This time he is getting some help from William Ackerman, currently the defacto CEO of the Pacific Consortium. Things are getting more sticky as Ackerman's rival, Jason Chandler CEO of Metagen, are making a deal to improve the quality of boomers being produced by Genom. Caught in the middle of all this are the Knight Sabers. They get a minor hint of the trouble to come when they run afoul of Chandler's security trouble shooter (fancy name for high tech muscle) Richard Chase. Personal: This fan fiction is a crossover between the Bubblegum Crisis Universe and a cyberpunk RPG. It draws upon some of the characters and corporations from that RPG. The characters have great depth and interact well, enhancing the plot. There is a feel of corporate intrigue and deception. The fan fiction is written in paragraph format. There are a large number of grammar and punctuation errors within this fan fiction. The story is currently up to part 6. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "Bubblegum Fortress" Author: Bill Crawford (ah401@detroit.freenet.org) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.fortress.gz Status: UNKNOWN Date: Feb 25, 1995 Type: Unusual Setting / Crossover / Parody Synopsis: A former scientist of Genom is working on a dimensional portal. Just as he starts the first test he is attacked by some female boomers and they take control of the portal. Taking the scientist through the portal with them, they cause portals to open in other places pulling other Anime characters into other worlds, including the Knight Sabers. But not all the Knight Sabers land in the same place. Personal: This story is written in paragraph format. It is a crossover / parody story that does its best to make fun of, or at least make mention of, as many anime stories as possible. Some examples are "Greenwood Prison" and "White Base Bar and Grill". Other characters get short appearances but the story follows the Knight Sabers the most. Warning this story is a parody of as many anime stories as possible. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Hope Author: Crossbow or Melvin Kemp (crossbow@enetis.net) Location: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/6549/bgc/bgc.html or: http://www.enetis.net/~crossbow/adp/adpolice.html Status: COMPLETE Date: ??? Type: Non-OVA Synopsis: Everyone in the ADPolice are getting ground under. The chief is in Genom's pocket and so are the politicians that control the budget for the ADP. More and more people are quitting, which is just making it harder on the people left. Nene does not want to quit the ADP and Leon refuses to give up but both of them have lost hope that the ADP can survive. Even worse is the strain this is putting on the Knight Sabers. Personal: This fan fiction hints that it might be the start of a series entitled "Dark Tokyo" but no other stories have been located. It does a very nice job of depicting the mental state of a person over worked and without hope of it getting better any time in the future. There is nice characterization and the plot is straight forward. This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Snow Falls Author: Crossbow or Melvin Kemp (crossbow@enetis.net) Location: http://www.enetis.net/~crossbow/adp/adpolice.html or: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Ginza/7597/archive Status: COMPLETE Date: ??? Type: Non-OVA Synopsis: Priss is having a bad night but it is nothing compared to what Linna is going through. The question is will Priss help Linna or only make matters worse? Personal: This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. The plot is straight forward. There is good characterization and nice character development for Linna in this story. Priss' development is only slight but you get a nice feeling of her emotional state and frustration. Post-Story: Faltering Steps ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Faltering Steps Author: Crossbow or Melvin Kemp (crossbow@enetis.net) Location: http://www.enetis.net/~crossbow/adp/adpolice.html Status: COMPLETE Date: ??? Type: Non-OVA Synopsis: Sylia is slowly but surely falling into despair. One of the Knight Sabers got hurt and it was her fault. How can she continue to lead them when she does not even trust herself? But she still has to appear to be the leader, cool, calm and in control. Personal: This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. The plot is simple and straight forward. There is good characterization but it centers on Sylia and Linna, with Mackie getting only a little. The author does a nice job of drawing out emotions of the characters. Pre-Story: Snow Falls ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: ADPolice: Doubt Author: Crossbow or Melvin Kemp (crossbow@enetis.net) Location: http://www.enetis.net/~crossbow/adp/adpolice.html Status: COMPLETE Date: ??? Type: Original Synopsis: Tamieako is an Emergency Room surgeon. Normally she does her job without any problems, but when several squads of ADPolice are rushed in from a boomer incident she has some problems. Lingering doubts that the next face she sees will be her beloved Nicholi attached to a bleeding body. Personal: This fan fiction does a nice job of reminding us of the worry that those left behind feel for a loved one facing danger. There is good depth of character for all the characters and the dialog is well done. This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: ADPolice: Rage Author: Crossbow or Melvin Kemp (crossbow@enetis.net) Location: http://www.enetis.net/~crossbow/adp/adpolice.html Status: COMPLETE Date: ??? Type: Original Synopsis: Sargent Hiero Osaka is having a rather nice day at the ADPolice office. It is a slow day of getting to know the new rookie and filling out paper work. Things never stay calm around the ADPolice for long though but sometimes just staying alive is not enough. Personal: This fan fiction looks at the survivor and their point of view. The characters interact well and all have nice depth. The author does a nice job of getting the reader acquainted with the charters. This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: ADPolice: Redemption Author: Crossbow or Melvin Kemp (crossbow@enetis.net) Location: http://www.enetis.net/~crossbow/adp/adpolice.html Status: COMPLETE Date: ??? Type: Original Synopsis: A boomer goes on a rampage. A call comes in to the ADPolice. Now it is a race. Will the troopers get there in time to save the woman and her little girl? Can there ever be a happy ending to a boomer rampage? Are the ADPolice making a difference? Personal: This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. The plot is straight forward. There is little characterization or character development in the story. All characters have some depth though and dialog is nicely done. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: The Quake Author: Crossbow or Melvin Kemp (crossbow@enetis.net) Location: http://www.enetis.net/~crossbow/adp/adpolice.html Status: COMPLETE Date: ??? Type: No Idea Synopsis: A Geological expert is in MegaTokyo to research the Great Kanto Earthquake of 2025. Some interesting light is shed on the idea that Genom caused the earthquake. Personal: This story is a short two page story. The author draws on his real life background in geology (I checked his resume on his web page) to provide us full data on earthquakes. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "Gun Dreams" Author: Marco De la Cruz (marco@chinook.physics.utoronto.ca) Location: http://128.100.80.13/marco/alita_graphic.html (click on) brave (click on) Transition1 (click on) Nemesis (click on) Transition2 (click on) And objects in the rear view mirror may be closer than they appear Status: COMPLETE Date: Aug 7, 1995 Type: Crossover Synopsis: This story features a little girl that looks like Alita, but does not remember who she is, in Mega Tokyo in the Knight Saber's time. The story is mostly from Alita's point of view and deals with her experiences trying to survive in Mega Tokyo without any memory (but with her full fighting ability). Personal: This story contains extreme violence (per the author's own words and he is not kidding). This story is well written in paragraph format. It does not explain how or why Alita is in the Bubblegum Crisis Universe (the only hint is Alita has a dream about it, but the ending implies that the world of Battle Angel and Bubblegum are the same planet). This story is more for the Battle Angel fan then the Bubblegum Crisis fan. There are three major stories in this fan fiction; "Brave ..", "Nemesis", and "Objects in the Rear View Mirror ...". These three stories are joined by short bridging stories; "Transition1" and "Transition2" to form the entire "Gun Dreams" fan fiction. "Brave" covers the start of Alita's adventure in MegaTokyo after she wakes up. Alita runs a foul of several of Genom's boomers and even has an encounter with Largo. "Nemesis" covers Alita having a run in with the Knight Sabers. She is in a rather bad mood, holding both the city at large and the Knight Sabers responsible for the death of a friend. "And objects in the rearview mirror may appear closer than they are..." is Alita asking Dr. Ido about an item that he had found. The item in question is an old combat armor called a "hardsuit". ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "Nemesis" Author: Marco De la Cruz (marco@chinook.physics.utoronto.ca) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.nemesis.gz or: http://128.100.80.13/marco/alita_graphic.html (click on Nemesis) Status: COMPLETE Date: Aug 7, 1995 Type: Crossover Synopsis: A little girl (that appears to match the description of Alita of Battle Angel) is singing in a bar and a Boomer attack takes place several blocks away. The Knight Sabers appear and save Leon's life. But this is only the start of what is to turn the city of MegaTokyo inside out. Before the night is out, Genom will be asking the ADPolice for help and will even be willing to assist the Knight Sabers. Personal: The "Nemesis" story in the ftp archives site is only a short clip of the "Nemesis" story, which is a part of the "Gun Dreams" story by the same author. The clip does not do the story justice. The story is more for the Alita fans then the Bubblegum Crisis fans. This fan fiction contains scenes of extreme violence. For the entire story read "Gun Dreams" or for just the Knight Sabers part of the story see the web pages listed under location. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "Secrets" Author: Marco De la Cruz (marco@chinook.physics.utoronto.ca) Location: http://128.100.80.13/marco/alita_graphic.html (click on Secrets) Status: COMPLETE Date: Dec 3, 1995 Type: Non-OVA Synopsis: The Knight Sabers accept a job that they believe is a trap. But they take it any way, in hopes of learning if their identities have been discovered. What they find is not what they expected. Personal: This is a short fan fiction written in paragraph format. It is short but does a nice job of displaying that everyone has a price (and the price is not always money). ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "Christmas 2033" Author: Marco De la Cruz (marco@chinook.physics.utoronto.ca) Location: http://128.100.80.13/marco/alita_graphic.html Status: COMPLETE Date: Dec 11, 1995 Type: Non-OVA Synopsis: Nene is trying to hack into Genom's computers on Christmas eve. When she finally gets all the way into the system, she is shocked by what she learns and calls Sylia. Personal: A short story about who Quincy could be and how he came to power. There is little personality development in this story and the plot is straight forward, but with a little twist near the end. This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. This story was originally posted to alt.fan.bgcrisis on December 11, 1995. Author: A couple of acknowledgments are due here. The basic idea for this short-story arose from the thread "Just who is Quincy, anyway?", in particular the comments by innpchan@aol.com and shawn_kester@net.com. Post-Story: "Subject: Christmas" or "Christmas 2034" Post-Story: Christmas 2035 ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "Christmas 2034" Author: Marco De la Cruz (marco@chinook.physics.utoronto.ca) Location: http://128.100.80.13/marco/alita_graphic.html Status: COMPLETE Date: Dec 21, 1996 Type: Non-OVA Synopsis: Nene is working away on her computer just before dinner on Christmas. The other Knight Sabers are over at her parent's place and are waiting for Nene to finish up, before they have dinner. But what Nene is up to is a bit of a shock. Personal: A short story that ties up a loose end left by the previous story "Christmas". This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. Author: This will be my last BGC fanfic (no doubt to the relief of many!) My literary efforts will be now geared towards writing a thesis. To those who cared: thanks! It's been a blast... Pre-Story : "Christmas" or "Christmas 2033" Post-Story: Christmas 2035 ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Christmas 2035 Author: Marco De la Cruz (marco@chinook.physics.utoronto.ca) Location: http://128.100.80.13/marco/alita_graphic.html Status: COMPLETE Date: Dec 20, 1997 Type: Non-OVA Synopsis: Nene is trying to keep Genom running through the use of email and acting as Quincy. She has been forced to do this ever since she discovered the bio-AI that was Quincy in the Genom computer and stopped the AI from running. But the load of running Genom is wearing her down.

Marco De la Cruz started the poem with twelve lines. Jeanne Hedge added two more lines to it. Personal: I'm under the impression that the start of the poem was in response to something posted on the net. The other additions are responses to the original subject. It is OK for a poem but then I do not know much about poetry. The style is similar to what is found in a Dr. Seuss book. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Knowledge is Power Author: Marco De la Cruz (marco@chinook.physics.utoronto.ca) Location: http://128.100.80.13/marco/alita_graphic.html Status: COMPLETE Date: Dec 10, 1997 Type: No Idea Synopsis: Another Anime fan ends up in the Bubblegum Crisis universe.

Type: Non-OVA Synopsis: A mother and her child are celebrating her 9th birthday. The mother remembers an old song about 99 red balloons, just like the ones her daughter has. In MegaTokyo one never knows when one will be caught up in the violence of the city. Personal: This is a short two page story. It is dark and brief. Much of the story is made up of the lyrics from "99 Luftballons". ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Bubblegum Crisis : "Tokyo Epoch" Author: (cspray@efn.org) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.te.prisoner-of-war.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Oct 15, 1995 Type: Unusual Setting Synopsis: The story starts with Celia still in Germany. Priss, Nene, Linna, and Mackie have battled some boomers on Genom Island and lost. Priss is taken prisoner by Mason (now running Genom). The other Knight Sabers believe Priss to be dead but, Celia knows she is not, after a mental confrontation with Mason. The remaining Knight Sabers prepare to rescue Priss and confront Mason. Personal: This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. This story is confusing at points and does not flow well. There are parts where an injury of a leg is mentioned at the start of a section but changes to an arm later in that same section. The mental powers of both Mason and Celia are not explained, nor how Mason returned. Mason is show by the hardsuit sensors to be human but performs super feats as if he was Largo, the super boomer. Celia also displays what could be termed super powers by healing both Nene and and Linna of injuries. Basically there are a large number of elements that happen in this story that are not explained. These unexplained elements detract from the story. Author: I'm not satisfied. After more than three years of long-term plotting, planning and in some cases complete rewriting, this is probably the best story I will ever write- certainly it has been the most challenging over the two years it's been in direct production. But I'm not satisfied. I'm SURE there must be holes in this story big enough to drive a truck through: I'm even MORE sure a lot of people will dislike the contents or concepts of this story. (Well, you can't please everyone all the time..) But the REAL reason, the most important one, that I'm not satisfied is this: I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO THIS AGAIN. There is a LOT more to this story, a lot more that I have in mind... but I don't know if I'll ever be able to match it. And so, I'm intensely reluctant to let the story in its current form go: to let it stop, when I might not be able to restart... ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Demon Crisis Author: cyclone (cyclone@citynet.com) or (cyclone_274@hotmail.com) Location: http://members.citynet.net/betweentwilight/cyclone.htm Status: TO-BE-COMPLETED Date: ??? Type: Unusual Setting Synopsis: The earth has been over run with demons. To make matters worse Largo has ceased control of the OMS and taken over all the boomers. The humans are caught in the middle of this struggle. Looking for allies against these two warring factions they turn to the past in search of help. Personal: This story is written in paragraph format. Only the introduction is currently done for the story. The introduction is about one page. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Boomer 1/2 Author: cyclone (cyclone@citynet.com) or (cyclone_274@hotmail.com) Location: http://members.citynet.net/betweentwilight/cyclone.htm Status: TO-BE-COMPLETED Date: ??? Type: Crossover / Unusual Setting Synopsis: Genom has a new project in the works. It's called N.E.R.I.M.A. When a martial artist from the past comes to life questions of what Genom has done get asked but the answers are slow in being found. Is the anti-boomer called Ranma really a boomer or is it something else? Personal: This story focuses more on the group from the Ranma 1/2 series with the Knight Sabers and their world acting as supporting cast and a setting for the story. The story does a nice job of integrating the two stories. Character interaction goes well and the plot has a nice air of mystery to it. The story is written in paragraph format. Currently the story is finished up to chapter 3. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Sailor Moon "Best of all the Years" Author: Chris Davies (cdavies@gpu4.srv.ualberta.ca) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/Sailor-Moon/ sm.bgc.best-of-all-the-years.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Sep 11, 1996 Type: Crossover / Unusual Setting Synopsis: Priscilla Asagiri is acting as the celebrity judge for a karaoke contest (the things Priss does for her friends). The first person singing is Hino Rei. As Rei is finishing her song, Priss feels a pinprick under her shoulder and wakes up 900 years in the future. Needless to say she is not happy about the situation, especially since she remembers nothing after the karaoke contest. Can a rebel biker/singer fit into the society of Crystal Tokyo? Personal: This story is written first person and follows Priss throughout the entire story. It does a very nice job of portraying Priss' character and her emotions of being cut off from everything that is familiar to her. The plot has several mysteries throughout the entire story. Some of the mysteries are answered but not all of them. Due to not all the mysteries being solved it leaves a potential for a sequel but the unresolved mysteries are minor. This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. Pre-Story: Bubblegum Crisis "Apotheosis" (Gives some detail on how Nene came to work with the group called Crystal Tokyo) Post-Story: "Together Again 2937" (featuring Priss) Pre-Story: "The Best of all the Years II" ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Bubblegum Crisis "Apotheosis" Author: Chris Davies (cdavies@gpu4.srv.ualberta.ca) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.apotheosis.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Nov 29, 1996 Type: Unusual Setting / Crossover Synopsis: Nene gets a strange visit from a blond lady who knows a lot about Nene. But Nene's life gets even stranger when Aethan DeGales pays her a visit. The fact that he has come to teach Nene about magic and how to use it leaves Nene a little unsure of what to do. But before the first lesson is completed, Nene and Aethan discover a magical threat to all of MegaTokyo. Even the technology of the Knight Sabers will play a role in stopping this magical menace. Personal: This fan fiction centers almost entirely on Nene. The story explores Nene's character in an interesting way. The character of Aethan has a very in depth personality and history (which we get only a taste of in this story). The plot has several twists in it and leaves several plot elements open for both prequel and sequel type stories. This fan fiction is written in a paragraph format. Author: This story is a sequel to an earlier Sailor Moon story "The Roads We Walk", available on the author's web page or the RAAC archive site. It is not necessary to have read the Sailor Moon fan fiction to understand this fan fiction, it does add some background on the character of Aethan DeGales. The Sailor Moon story does not cover the events that occurred in Nerima in 1996. Pre-Story : Together Again: 1996 (does not feature the Knight Sabers but gives back history on Aethan and the opponent he and the Knight Sabers face in this story. Post-Story: Sailor Moon "Best of all the Years" (the story follows only Priss of the Knight Sabers but it is set in the future and confirms that Nene is involved with the Crystal Tokyo organization) ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Together Again: 2937 Author: Chris Davies (cdavies@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/Miscellaneous/Crossovers/ xover.together-again-2937.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Apr 10, 1997 Type: Crossover / Unusual Setting Synopsis: Priss Asagiri has accepted to become a Paladin of Crystal Tokyo. She is attempting to come to terms with her new world but is still suffering from a loss of memory. Even though the memory block has been removed she can not remember past a certain point in her past. The political situation is heating up, with the arrival of the Jurain Emperor, Tenchi, to Crystal Tokyo. Factions in the government have petitioned to break off ties with the Jurain Empire, causing tension to rise even more. While trying to get a handle on her life Priss gets assigned to investigate the theft of some labors from Noa Izumi's Patlabor division. But the theft is only the start of the trouble Priss is going to be involved in. Personal: This fan fiction attempts to draw as many Anime series as possible into it. I've lost count of all the references. The story only partially follows Priss, as it is split evenly between all the main characters. There is a lot going on in this story and several different plots are occurring at the same time. Not all of the plots are connected, but all add depth to the over all story. The author does a good job of explaining how each anime character is present in this future time. The personalities are well thought out and each character has depth as well. The plots are very nicely done and several nice mysteries are forming. This fan fiction is written in script format. Pre-Story: Sailor Moon "Best of all the Years" This story is only for background on how Priss ends up in the future and some background information on the workings of the Crystal Tokyo government. Post-Story: "The Best of all the Years II" ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Bubblegum Crisis: Itsumo Author: Chris Davies (cdavies@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.yua.itsumo.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Jan 3, 1998 Type: Crossover Synopsis: After Priss, Nene, and Linna say good-bye to Sylia (at the end of Bubblegum Crash), they run into an old childhood friend of Priss'. The problem is Priss does not remember this person at all. When she is urged to talk to the old friend's mother in hopes of sparking some memories. Priss balks at the idea, not being sure if she wants to learn about what her life was like before the quake. Personal: This story explores some of Priss' past. It draws on the characters of the series "You're Under Arrest" for Priss' parents. It does a nice job of tying the two series together giving some insight into the way Priss deals with pain or the possibility of pain. This story is written in paragraph format. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Best of All the Years II Author: Chris Davies (cdavies@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca) Location: pub/archive/anime-fan-works/Sailor-Moon/ sm.bgc.best-of-all-the-years.2.gz or: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.best-of-all-the-years.II.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Jul 28,1998 Type: Crossover Synopsis: Sylia is trying to adjust to life in Crystal Tokyo, 2937.

Personal: This story is written in paragraph format. It explores the idea behind Sylia's choice of including Priss as a Knight Saber and when that choice might have been a mistake. The ideas are not new but present a different light on them. The story is saved in PKZIPPED format on the tripod web sites in text format on the xoom web site. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Sacrifices Author: Sarah Davis (sdavis@penpen.com) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.sacrifices.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Jun 15, 1999 Type: Non-OVA Synopsis: Everyone has a breaking point.

As the entire city is searching for the buma, it is searching for Sylia Stingray. Upon reaching Sylia, the buma allows Nene and Macky to study it's programming and it is discovered that the buma has been programmed with the response patterns of Dr. Stingray. Personal: This fan fiction takes place between Bubblegum Crisis OVA 3 and 4. The story is well designed, with the exception of Priss liking the buma. At the point in the OVA series the author suggests that this story be inserted, Priss still has a strong dislike of bumas. The fan fiction is short and direct, with little character development. This story is written in paragraph format. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "Beneath a Casted Shadow" Author: Deunan (deunan@aol.com) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.beneath-a-casted-shadow.gz or: http://members.aol.com/deunan/mine.htm Status: COMPLETE Date: Jun 24, 1997 Type: NON-OVA Synopsis: Mackie is cleaning up his hardsuit (after the fight in OVA 8) and pauses to remember his father.

Each deals with it in a different way, and in dealing with the pain they grow into something different. But not everything is as it appears and one Knight Saber is holding in the pain and it may just kill her. Personal: The character development in this story is very believable and well done. Each character is given time: a scene high lighting the way in which they come to terms with the loss. Only one Knight Saber is not covered in detail but her solution is mentioned. This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. Pre-Story : Opening Gambits Pre-Story : Face To Face Pre-Story : Patience Pre-Story : Of Victory and Failure Pre-Story : Debts ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: The Knights of the Saber Author: Mark Doherty (mdoherty@uq.net.au) Location: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/6549/bgc/bgc.html or: http://www.tass.org/~mdoherty/index.html Status: TO-BE-COMPLETED Date: ??? Type: Unusual Setting Synopsis: In a world where magical creatures roam the streets and if you're not a member of a guild, you're street trash, comes the Knights of the Saber. A group of women warriors formed to help those in need, and get a little revenge upon the guilds. Personal: This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. It switches the point of view to cover each of the Knights. Most of these are done in first person. The story places the characters from Bubblegum Crisis into a medieval setting where magic and mystical creatures abound. Only the first chapter covering the formation of the group is currently available. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Fulcrum Author: Douglas (tarmaque@yahoo.com) Location: http://www.geocities.com/tarmaque/story.html Status: Aug 5, 2000 Date: TO-BE-COMPLETED Type: Non-OVA Synopsis: Sylia is alone and feeling lost without a purpose. Ten years ago the Knight Sabers were broken. Linna is gone, Nene has fled to New Zealand, Priss is missing. When someone comes seeking aid from Sylia she almost turns them away until they tell her they know where Priss is. Personal: This story is written in paragraph format. It centers on Sylia the most and her struggle to reclaim what she has lost. There is some nice character development for all the characters involved in this story. The plot has several twists in it as the goal changes as the story moves along. There are currently 7 parts available. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Arachnie Author: Charles Drake (Fire_Drake@rocketmail.com) Location: http://members.xoom.com/Zapan/ Status: COMPLETE Date: Aug 10, 1999 Type: Crossover / Unusual Setting Synopsis: Sylia is dead and Nene wants to know why. What drove the leader of the Knight Sabers to take her own life? Problem is can Nene handle the answer any better then Sylia? Personal: This story is written in paragraph format. It is a crossover between BGC and "Serial Experiments Lain". Unless you're familiar with the Lain series this story will not make much sense. Nothing about the Lain series is explained in the story. Pre-Story: an understanding of "Serial Experiment Lain" ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Lain Version 2.0 Author: Charles Drake (Fire_Drake@rocketmail.com) Location: http://members.xoom.com/Zapan/ Status: COMPLETE Date: ??? Type: Crossover Synopsis: Nene was searching on the net for something. She found more then she was after. Personal: This is a short two page story crossing over with the LAIN series. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Largo Author: Charles Drake (Fire_Drake@rocketmail.com) Location: http://members.xoom.com/Zapan/ Status: COMPLETE Date: ??? Type: Altering Synopsis: What would have happened if Largo was not ruthless? If he really cared about the other boomers and did not use them only as tools to his end? Personal: This story takes a look at an alternate Largo. It is written in paragraph format. The dialog is nicely done and the turn of events is not out of place for the character changes presented in the story. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Mad Machine Author: Charles Drake (Fire_Drake@rocketmail.com) Location: http://members.xoom.com/Zapan/ Status: COMPLETE Date: ??? Type: Crossover Synopsis: Priss wakes up to a world no longer her own. She her mind has been placed into a boomer body. She does not know the reason why this was done to her but worst of all she can not even end her miserable existence. Personal: This story crosses over with the Battle Angle series. It does a fair job of showing Priss' emptiness of losing everything. The plot is simple but subtle in the way it moves along. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Omoide ni Dakarete Author: Charles Drake (Fire_Drake@rocketmail.com) Location: http://members.xoom.com/Zapan/ Status: COMPLETE Date: ??? Type: Unusual Setting Synopsis: Priss finds her self trading places with Anri. She feels what Anri felt towards Sylvie. Personal: This story is written in paragraph format. It makes use of dream sequences to have Priss experience what Anri felt for Sylvie. The plot is straight forward but has a nice element of the people Priss knows taking the place of the other 33S boomers trying to escape Genaros. There is a bit of an interesting metaphor with who ends up in Sylvie's role in the dream switching of places. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: The Disease Author: Charles Drake (Fire_Drake@rocketmail.com) Location: http://members.xoom.com/Zapan/ Status: COMPLETE Date: ??? Type: Non-OVA Synopsis: Some times surviving death is worse then dying. Priss knows this as she is living with it. Personal: This story is written in paragraph format. It is a short story featuring Priss and guilt. There is no definable character development. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Soul of the Machine Author: Richard Drysdale (rdd2@st-andrews.ac.uk) Location: http://www.users.fl.net.au/~bcadwgan/Anime.htm Status: TO-BE-COMPLETED Date: ??? Type: Unusual Setting Synopsis: Upon dying, where does one's soul go? What does one see as they near the end of their mortal existence? This story starts out with one soul taking a side trip and getting reborn (sort of) into the body of a 33S infiltration boomer. Personal: This fan fiction is written in first person. The story follows Richard Drysdale (or at least I assume it is him) through his adventures as a boomer in the Bubblegum Crisis universe. The fan fiction is written in paragraph format and scenes and dialog are well done. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: ADPolice "COPS in MegaTokyo" Author: Josh Dziubek (jdd117@psu.edu) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.cops-in-megatokyo.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Apr 26, 1997 Type: Non-OVA / Crossover (sort of, US TV documentary) Synopsis: Leon McNichols and Daley Wong are followed by a camera for the TV show COPS (which shows actual cops doing their job on the street, sort of a live documentary type show). Leon and Daley are called to a standard A class boomer crime that turns out to be more than it appears to be. The camera follows the detectives as they work on the problem of who is modifying boomers with C class boomer parts. Personal: This fan fiction is written in script format. The plot is simple and does not have much depth. Like most TV shows the mystery is solved in only a few days. There is very little character development in this story. The story follows Leon and Daley exclusively. Priss and Nene both get short cameo appearances and the camera has some problems filming when the Knight Sabers show up to bail out the ADPolice. Author: Basically, this is an episode of COPS based on those one where they go to specific cities. Well, I threw that and the AD Police together, and here are the results. The actual investigation may seem sort of lame, but I needed a vehicle for this to follow. Also, if you note a few inconsistencies with BGC (like the mention of 33S every so often), they're purely intentional. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Bubblegum Clash Author: Gary Ee (garyee@mbox4.singnet.com.sg) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.xover.bubblegum-clash.gz Status: TO-BE-COMPLETED Date: Nov 23, 1999 Type: Unusual Setting / Crossover Synopsis: Blue Saber is off to face the super boomer Jinnai, on top of the Genom tower. Not only are the Knight Sabers different but so is the outcome of this battle. Personal: This story changes the Knight Sabers and replace them with various characters from other Animes. Some are from Tenchi, others from El-Hazard, and some even from Kimagure Orange Road. The Knight Sabers are never really called out by name but their suit colors. Entire lines of dialog are taken from some of the above mentioned Animes. Character interaction feels flat and forced. The entire plot is to lead up to one point or event in the story. The story ends with a sequel type ending. The story is written in a paragraph format. Currently only the introduction is available. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "The Origins of Nene, and her marvelous hacking abilities" Author: Entropy (entropy@break.com.au) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.nenes-hacking-skills.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Sep 13, 1995 Type: No Idea Synopsis: How did Nene get her great hacking abilities, well it seems that she met this guy named Bill who had something to do with an operating system called Windows 95 ... Personal: This story really does not explain anything about Nene's hacking ability. It appears to be more of a poke at Windows 95. Not to be taken very seriously. This story is written in paragraph format. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: "BGC Dun Undah in Nue Zoolund" Author: Dark Fiber (entropy@shell.break.com.au) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.dun-undah-in-neu-zooland.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Oct 30, 1995 Type: Parody Synopsis: The Knight Sabers get hit by lightening and end up in Nue Zoolund. The poor cast of Bubblegum Crisis characters wander through a parody. Personal: This parody is written in script format. The author uses creative spelling (for lack of a better term) to create an accent for each character. This makes it hard at times to follow what is being said by each character. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: The Bubble Burst Author: Fire (dzillman@ozemail.com.au) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/Ranma/ranma.bgc.the-bubble-burst.gz or: http://www.ozemail.com.au/~dzillman/fire Status: COMPLETE Date: May 20, 2000 Type: Crossover / Unusual Setting Synopsis: Genom has developed a new boomer software. This software includes a special type of martial arts that makes use of the strength of boomers. The puzzling part is why does Nene know the name of the martial art the boomers are programmed for? Does Nene have some secret she is keeping from the others? Personal: This fan fiction does a nice job of blending the Ranma 1/2 world and the Bubblegum Crisis world. The characterization is nicely done, as is the dialog. The plot is a nice mystery intermixed with flashbacks to Ranma's time. One of the Knight Saber's has their background changed to complete the blending of the Ranma 1/2 world and the Knight Saber world. The story ends with a sequel type ending. Post-Story: Hide and Seek ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Time and Time Again Author: Scott Francis (mechaman@mail.wsu.edu) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.time-and-again.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Sep 8, 1997 Type: Unusual Setting / Altering Synopsis: Irene Walker is having a bit of a problem. It appears while she and the rest of her group were doing a job involving Temporal Security Protectorate she has been displaced in time or dimension (or both). None of the sights she finds in MegaTokyo 2032 matches what she is used to. While trying to figure out what is going on she runs into the Knight Sabers downing a C55 boomer (opening of OVA 1). While trying to figure out what to do Irene finds a shifter in MegaTokyo, but they do not belong here (but then neither does Irene). Irene ends up saving Linna from the Shifter and gets drawn into the Knight Saber group. But things only get worse for Irene after that. Personal: This fan fiction is written in paragraph format. The story is written mostly from the view point of Irene with brief glimpses of other characters. Irene has a nice background which adds depth to her character. The story flows well with a nice mystery forming. Only a glimpse of the complete history of Irene is given in this story. The story ends with a sequel type ending. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Bubblegum Crisis "Ethereal Stories" Author: Dave Gao (davegao@ix.netcom.com) Location: /pub/archive/anime-fan-works/BGC/bgc.saint-seiya.ethereal.gz Status: COMPLETE Date: Jul 24, 1995 Type: Crossover / Unusual Setting Synopsis: Hyoga and Shun from the "Saint Seiya" series are cast into the Bubblegum Crisis Universe. The two land in the middle of a fight between Genom Boomers and the Knight Sabers. Hyoga and Shun use their saint powers to assist in the fight and save a Knight Saber. Personal: Characters are well written and interact well. The plot is simple but the author gives the impression that this is the introduction chapter for a longer story. ______________________________________________________________________________ Title: Bubblegum Crisis "Konya Wa Hunter" Author: Dave G
