That's the chapter I've heard singled out as being someone's favorite 
more often than all the rest of them combined (mine too).  For me the 
appeal is obvious (liberal doses of Skuld and a cameo by Sailor Moon!  
^_^) but playing Marller's advocate for a second, what does everyone else 
see in it?  There's not a lot of plot or action to speak of...

Same with mine.  I started it, then didn't know where to take it.  Still 
waiting for the next midnight inspiration that started it in the first 
place.  ^_^

Thought for the day:  Hawaii is only one letter away from becoming kawaii.
