I'd like to announce the new series of fanfic stories I've written, Interpol Manzai.
The short description: Azumanga Daioh meets Dirty Pair.  Tomo Takino finally realizes her dream of working for Interpol, and manages to drag her childhood friend Yomi into the international police too.
Naturally, I only have the first story up so far, but it's complete, has a concordance, and is available on my website:
Quote:Interpol issues a warrant for the arrest of the WikiLeaks founder, and there's only one woman who can do the job: the ICPO's self-proclaimed top detective, Tomo Takino.  But what happens when Inspector Takino gets a new partner?
There are already crossovers to You're Under Arrest, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, K-On!, and the Millennium series of Stieg Larsson -- and even more crossovers are planned.  But despite the crossovers to darker works and connections to real world problems, IM keeps a light tone throughout, alternating between cozy mystery, action, and slice-of-life comedy.
A long time ago, I asked for prereaders on the forums, and only managed to round up a couple.  But I wound up getting distracted by programming -- and then getting a job in programming, so I put off the final edit.  Well some six months later, rereading it made me laugh.  So that's the best self-recommendation I can give.
I'm looking forward to any C&C I get.  Oh, and if any of you know a good place to announce something like this, let me know.  I'm not super-connected to fanfic communities, and don't know who'd be most interested in stories from an older series like Azumanga.

Apologies for not replying to this announcement sooner.

I'd love to read over the story, but when I downloaded the text file, it appeared like one giant slurred text. Is there some way you can spruce it up?
Apologies back for not replying sooner. Tongue

I've now reposted this on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/73978971

Honestly I forgot a large part of what I had written, and was surprised to find the story in better shape than I hoped.  Never did write a sequel, though.
