When you get around to the Sailor Moon walk or Slayers walk, are we going to see a SAS or BESM character sheet for Looney Tunes?
I know we wont see a MAGIUS character sheet when you hit EVA. ^_^

Sooo... When can we expect an estimate on release of a new Chapter 1 of the next DW step?
Well c'mon! You knew someone had to ask eventually.
We'll try not to be too much like rabid crack weasels. ^_^

... or evening, or afternoon.
At risk of making this too long, I'll try to be brief.
1.)who is this guy?
-a man of many words but comperatively little content, or as some would put it, a habitual rambler. he's trying to get better, though.
-a CS student, when he's not being a slacker.
-a lurker on the UF forum.
-one of Nate's merry bunch of misfits.
-writer of the occasional piece of text.
-avid readed of a great number of things, including DW. but then, that's pretty much a given here.
2.)how did he get here?
-I can't remember right now, but it was either via EPU forum, or during my time of obsessive searching for more good BGC fics.
3.)no, here as in the forum.
-linked DW on another forum, linked the stories from that forum to this place, then figured it'd be ne gers to not introduce myself.
4.)what now?
-I'll likely be popping up here and there in-between extended periods of lurking about.
5.)that all?
-Yes.

We dared to ask for more
But that was long before the nights began to burn
You would have thought we'd learned
You can't make promises all based upon tomorrow
Happiness, security are words we only borrowed
For is this the answer to our prayers, is this what God has sent?
Please understand this isn't what we meant
The future couldn't last, we nailed it to the past
With every word a trap that no one can take
Back from all the architects who find their towers leaning
And every prayer we pray at night has somehow lost its meaning
For is this the answer to our prayers, is this what God has sent?
Please understand this isn't what we meant
(bridge)
A long time ago when the world was pretty
Standing right here in a different city
They're not coming back any more
They're not coming back any...
(lead break)
Is this the answer to our prayers, is this what God has sent?
Please understand this isn't what we meant
Savatage, This Isn't What We Meant
Dead Winter Dead, 1996.

I'd have to pull the 45 record out of storage, but I do recall parts of it. At least the first stanza:
I'm going to tie my hope to Freedom's Star.
I'm going to show the world just what we are.
Tall young man, hold your head up high.
The gift of freedom you can not buy.
It's a song that praises and encourages freedom.
A song of freedom. A song that might be able to break addictions and various forms of mind control. A song that Doug MIGHT be able to use to help the victims of Arcanum's Servant Factor virus
I know that the band who played it are gospel singers, but this song and 'Don't Let the Rain Come Down'(B side) don't deal with religion. Why was it listed as a gospel song? Oh well.

I had known that with infinite universes, that every concept in fiction created exists somewhere, but hadn't thought of the fact that an infinite number of people would be the creators of the same story. It's times like these that I wish transfictional interface were possible. Actually, if it were possible, I would probably move to New Avalon.

Excellent though the work is, and despite the apparently considerable amount of prereading it underwent, a few errors did slip through. To wit:
Near the end of the hire-the-Sabers scene, Lisa picks up and opens a "manilla envelope"; that should be "manila". Both spellings occur in my dictionary, but Google finds over four million mentions of the single-L version and only about a quarter of a million mentions of the double-L form, which is conclusive enough for me.
Shortly after the scene break from the Sabers about to descend through the eye of the storm, the word "lightning" is missing an N.
Quote: there's now a critical mass of infected boomers,
White. Those with free will soon will outnumber those without.
The repetition of "will" doesn't flow well for me; I'd suggest something like "it won't be long before those with free will outnumber those without.".
In the departure scene, there is Quote: "Doug!" Aquarius called out, and reached out to wrap a hand the
size of a baseball mitt around my own gloved hand. "Got your
message and I knew I had to see you off."
followed later by Quote: As she wrestled her feelings into some semblance of control,
Aquarius stepped forward and folded his gunmetal-blue hand around
Doug's gloved one. "Take care of yourself, my friend."
I'd suggest inserting a "once more" in the second occurrence somewhere.
Quote: If only she had something more subtle,
some kind of specially-trained "tiger team" that she could trust
both to handle jobs like this with competence and discretion...
As this stands, the "both" is dangling - both to do that, and what else? You need to either add a second referent, or drop the "both".
Finally, in Hiroe's final scene: Eternal Sailor Mercury. Despite the somewhat common appearance of the idea in fandom, there is no indication (in the anime, at least) that any of the Senshi other than Sailor Moon even *have* an Eternal form; they leave off at Super. There may be something present in the manga, but I don't remember anything from the last time I read it, which admittedly was awhile ago.
Not all of these are strictly errata, I'll admit, but I thought they were all worth pointing out. I also don't claim this to be a comprehensive list; it's only the things I noticed and remembered to write down, and there may well be others I missed. If anyone knows of any other technical nitpicks in the chapter, this would be where to mention them...
Also, Bob, it might be a good idea to update the progress description; the chapter is no longer in final preread, after all. I'd say that by now it's "out".
