Thanks. I'm proud of it.
Oh, and don't worry about not having gotten to Rebirth yet; I'm distracting myself by working on Ch. 2 while I eagerly await any e-mail on the first chapter; to date, I count three that I've recieved, two of which didn't read past the initial meeting of my avatar and Nabiki, and both of whom commented on my avatar being an ANC while completely misrepresenting him by... well... here's a few excerpts of one of them.
My response, of course, was that he's going to shock them, alright, but hardly 'into awe'.
Or there's the same author's *OTHER* predictions...
I, of course, nearly ruined my keyboard by spitting out my gatorade. My avatar won't 'deal with' Akane's cooking, nope... I have *PLANS* for that. *Grin*.
Or...

... Cologne *IS* in awe at his 'superlative skills', actually, but it's a bit of a joke. You see, the best thing that summarizes my avatar's relationship with the Joketsuzoku is 'three thousand years of misunderstandings and misinterpretations, mixed with an equally-long practical joke war'. Or, to put it more succinctly, "How many times do we have to tell you that there's a difference between a really big ki-blast and a thermonuclear warhead?" And no, they *DON'T* decide to attack him. They're too afraid of him deciding to put a laxative in the villiage water supply again (although they call it 'using dark magic to disable most of our warriors').
Of the other two, one was basically a 'pat on the back' e-mail saying that he enjoyed it, and the other was a comment on how annoying the anachronisms in his Japanese speech were, and how he stopped reading because of it... the paragraph before it stopped. Oddly enough, the e-mail I quoted from is the closest thing to C&C I've gotten.
