        Libs, you may yet live to regret that one.
        One of the half-baked ideas is a Screed-As-Hero story called
RatCatcher.   Since I can't "speak Screed", I intended to ask you
to translate WWII RAF slang into Screedspeak.

Just for everyone's info, I get asked to translate a lot and really don't
mind doing it when I have time. I usually can fit it in if I'm not in a play
(and I'm not for the first time in 18 months. LOL!) In fact, it is fun to
translate ;-)

There's interesting fanfic material here for anyone who knows about the
subject.
Vampires would have to acquire new swordsmanship skills as time passed and
weapons and styles of fighting changed... So, were there vampire fencing
masters?

Somehow, I always imagined Nick excelling at knight-time ski jumping.  He'd
certainly have an advantage in the 'flying' department.

Subject: FK/DA crossovers ?

Hi there,
I've been looking to find some FK/Dark Angel
crossovers in fanfiction. Somehow i didn t seem to
find any. Is there really no such fanfiction ?
On another matter, i' ve written such a short piece
and would need a beta reader who is familiar with both
shows (given the fact that I have seen only 3 episodes
of DA).
However, be warned, while my spelling isn't too bad,
this *is* my first piece of fanfic.
Can anybody help, please ?
Please e-mail off list: lucilaleipzig@y.......
Thanks,
Lucie

Since many duels took place at night (fencing by torchlight--yikes!),
perhaps an acute (read: vampiric) observer would be able to pick up new
techniques and styles.
