I was reminded of Maria's shooting stunt in OVA2 in the party after their first performance during watching a video of exhibition shooters. The "" (don't ask me to prononunce it) is truly a grandmaster stunt. There are only 2 people who can probably match Maria in doing this:
1. "Wild Bill" Hicock
2. Annie Oakley
Annie Oakley might be the better candidate. There's a photo of her facing backward with the rifle over her shoulder (and sighting with a mirror)

it came to me this morning that something needs to be said regarding DW V and the recent releases.
Thank you.
Bob, Chris, you two are producing some very high-grade 'fic, and it's a pleasure and an escape to read.Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979

Haven't actually finished this part yet, but thought I'd help with this one:

Bob says: This is a quote from something that's stuck in my head for years, but I can't remember the original source. Possibly a Heinlein novel?

Of course it was well worth the read. ^_^

Wide dinged 50 around 9:15 this morning.
Party later in the usual places, etc.
I figure Tuesday evening/during the day.

Something I'd love to do would be to make an omake fic of a meeting between CPO Rhodes and Doug... Just a meeting of Dimensionally Displaced Persons as a fun little short story. Whatcha think?

UH OH!
Megumi as a soldier is vaugely disturbing, but I'd like to just say WOOO!
And I can't help but wonder what the 'undocumented features' left on the bike are.

And I can't help but wonder if Doug and Chris are going to be at loggerheads again over this... Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979

Here. Enjoy!
As usual, I'm giving my loyal forum members a 24-hour or so jump on the FFML and RAAC.
Chapter 4, which used to be the second half of this chapter, is undergoing some slight expansion and rewrite, and I think it's likely that we'll be posting it within the month.

As ninety-nine crab rangoons go by...

First, I see that the tagline at the top of the page currently reads "Chapters 3 and 4 of Drunkard's Walk V are now in preread." Have you folks been holding out on us, or is this a chapter split?
Second, did you ever post all of Chapter 2 to rec.arts.anime.creative, Bob? I only recall ever seeing the first half of chapter 2 there. (It might be worthwhile re-posting both chapters 1 and 2 just before posting the new stuff, anyway, considering how long it's been. (Assuming you're going to post it to usenet, of course.) I'll have to do the same with a couple of my 'fics...)

Sorry I haven't been around lately. I noticed that someone's taken off without me, but that's okay. My bad anyways for not being around. I plead addiction to anime - my torrent for Eureka 7 finished downloading and I went nuts.
Anyhow, Since practically everyone else has done an origin story, I'd figure I should do one as well. Also, I need to get my character at such a point where he can believable disapear for the time I'm unable to post here. My Ship Date is starting to loom close and I think it'll be a while until I can do much of anything online (I know bootcamp's a given, but I dunno about A-School yet).
Anyhow, this is all, of course, pending approval. I may need to change some stuff in my character bio and ship information if it does all get approved.
(EDIT: For spelling fixes and such.)
