Hi! Wow! I'm delighted to find the FAKE fandom is still active. I thought I was the only one that still loves this manga after all these years. I'm looking forward to reading your fics when I've refreshed my memory about all these characters. ^^
Btw have you read "Until The Full Moon"? I finally bought volume 2 last week, after all these years! haha

Hi, fellow FAKE fan, happy to met you! Sadly there are very few of us around nowadays. I came to the fandom after practically everyone else had already left; my timing sucks.

You'll find my FAKE master lists of the lefthand sidebar

I post something new, either drabble or short fic, every day so if you intend to read everything it might take a while. There are over a thousand fics and my mind just boggles. I can't believe I've written so much, but the characters just got inside my head and settled in. I've been writing them for 8 or 9 years though, so it all adds up. I hope you'll enjoy what you read when you get around to it; most are pretty short.

I've got 'Until the Full Moon volumes one and two but I haven't read them yet. I really should find them and give them a read, if I can remember where I put them!

Hi Dear!
Sorry for late response, I've had a busy few days.
I just got around to reading this fic. First of all, I have to say I found the whole saga hilarious! XD I was smiling the whole way through. And the the pacing and the "voices" are so in character! At times I even felt like I could "see" your story as manga panels in Sanami Matoh's gorgeous classic style. :D
Secondly, you write amazingly well!!! I'm so looking forward to reading more from you. ^^

Btw if you find your volumes of "Until the Full Moon" we could read along together and share our thoughts after every chapter? If anyone else wants to join we could form a reading group on discord or somewhere else where the fandom gathers?

I know how that goes. I'm juggling so many things every day it's a miracle I'm getting everything done.

Thank you! I had so much fun writing this, I think I'm getting better at writing the more peripheral characters. Because there's not so much in the manga with Ted, Marty, Jim the lab guy and so forth, I'm sort if winging it but gradually pinning their characters down. Not sure where the idea of Ted being a redhead comes from but it's stuck in my head so I gave him a feisty redheaded girlfriend to keep him in line ;)

I'll let you know if I find my copies of Until the Full Moon. I've got books everywhere, and at the moment I'm tied up with things that have deadlines, but reading along together sounds fun. I'm not on Discord or anything like that though, I'm old and not good with the new fangled stuff, or technology in general, lol! I can just about manage LJ, but only because I've been here over a decade. I learned to use it when my brain was younger and better able to remember things. These days nothing sticks >.
