This story enraged me:

Don't read it.  The twist in chapter 30 is atrocious.

Prepare to be befriended!

* Dracos is suddenly reminded of Kylewin.
* Dracos sends death his way.

Anyhow, rereading a bit of motivation.
Well, Goodbye.

Rereading more old fics

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2044434/1/Ranma_Dead
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/28355/2/Vengeance_And_A_Half

The first is by Nicholas Stone, and like most of his writing, good, even if predictable.  The second is by Fire, who was a better polished Ozzallos than Ozzallos: Very strong starts which gradually tapers off into mediocre.  Destiny's Child is his better known fic, but I think Vengeance was the first real attempt at a Nerima v. Senshi fic (versus a multitude of 2 page fics)

I didn't care much for Ranma Dead. It felt like one of those really bad SNL skits that goes on 3 minutes longer than it should.

So just about all of them after Will Ferrell left?

Being totally honest, I considered doing that first -- but then I realized I could rely on you to make the obvious joke. ^_^

Oh, man, the first few seasons were immense.  I just watched them a few months ago on Hulu....  Good stuff. :D

So, anybody read Calvin & Hobbes while growing up? Yeah, this will probably make you sad, but the end is worth it. Short and sweet, and supremely enjoyable.

What if they're not stars at all? What if the night sky is full of titanic far-off lidless eyes, staring in all directions across eternity?

I'm rereading Belgarath the Sorcerer by David Eddings. I haven't really read it since I was a teenager. It doesn't hold up, of course, but it's fun in it's own ways. It's hugely nostalgic and it's still nice, light reading.

Hahahaha--  Ow, wow, that takes me back.

I must have read the Belgariad like, 10 times growing up....

Read Distant Glimpses. Made even better because I just read Bamboo Rhapsody last night at work.
