Title: Chronophobia

Author: Ukyou Kuonji
Source: Ranma 1/2
Rating: 5.5/6
Type: Could be a continuation or an AU. It doesn’t matter.
Length: Really short one-shot
I’m giving this one a 5.5/6. It may be short, but it packs a hell of a punch. The title is a good hint but, since it’s about two screenfulls of text, I’ll just let you read it.
If you’re in the USA, you’ve probably noticed the “FBI Warning” anti-piracy stickers by now. Well, here’s a little something to help indie artists combat any fear of sharing that said stickers may instill.
Personally, I don’t think the FBI stickers will have much effect.
I’ve decided to turn my blog into a bliki. Essentially, that would mean that it would become less of a chronological listing and more of a full-fledged site with blog-style updates. If you know what a wiki is, then just think “using a wiki, with a few add-ons, as a blog”.
My current plans are to move as soon as I can get PyXML set up (for RSS feeds), find the time to write a comment plugin for MoinMoin (Could be a week, could be months), and design a nice unique MoinMoin theme.

Title: In My Dreams

Author: Siaru

Rating: 6/6
Type: Continuation
Length: One-shot
Every once in a while, I come across one of those one-shot fics which simply takes my breath away. “In My Dreams” is one such case. As with every one I’ve read so far, it’s written from a first-person perspective. I won’t give away the plot, but I will say that the writing is superb and that it takes place after the Ranma 1/2 manga ends.
Read it. If you can spare the five minutes, you won’t be disappointed.
A while ago, I read “The Devil’s Code” by John Sandford… I finally got the other books in the series and I just finished reading “The Fool’s Run”. It’s a techno-thriller, the first part of a three book series which centers around a professional computer criminal named Kidd and his partners in crime. (The Devil’s Code is the most recent book)
I know it’s starting to sound repetitive, but I’d definitely recommend the book. It does a good job of hooking you, it has enough explanation to avoid confusing 90% of potential readers and, at the same time, enough technical details to interest any computer geek. It’s also something I’d recommend for a leisure writer who wants a good example of surprise plot twists.
