Hostess is going out of business.

How will the good guys distract the bad guys without "sponge cake with creamy filling" or "fruity deliciousness"?

Some of the image links are breaking again. 

Specifically several buttons and icons, including "New Topic" and the icon for "locked topic".

Edit: Add "New Poll" icon to that list.

When I first joined these forums, I mentioned that I was working on some fanfiction.  Now, I got sidetracked by another project, but I've made some serious progress towards writing, and I think I'm getting close to actually making it available.
I'd like to get some prereaders for the story, though.  I have a couple of friends reading it, but honestly, I'd like to get more negative constructive feedback so that I can improve as a writer.  Is there anyone here who would be willing to be a prereader for my Azumanga Daioh fic, Interpol Manzai?

Interpol Manzai: summary Wrote:The girls of Azumanga Daioh are age 25 now, and Tomo has her dream job as an ICPO agent. Yomi finds herself pulled into Tomo's jetsetting world of wild adventures, high-tech intrigue, solving mysteries, and lots of slice-of-life comedy.  Many crossovers to other works, but the focus is on how the Azumanga girls grow to face life as young adults.

It's cool, but it's limited. Even so, it's the first step to implanted computers and sensory/commo gear.

1.  Your name or preferred handle.

2.  Your real name, if different.  By that I mean full, real name, including first and last names for the panel review board.

3.  A list of your preferred works, including any you may have written in the past year.

4.  The URL of your website, if any, or where your works can be found.

5.  If you've been on a fanfic panel before, and if so, where.

6.  (OPTIONAL) Why you'd like to be on the panel.

Please private mail me at pmui1@NOSPAMPLEASE.prodigy.net by November 30 if you're interested.  The panel will be selected shortly after that.

Hope to hear from you soon!
