What, I'm the first to finish this?

FIRST!!!

This was great fun! Okay, my first ROTFLMAO moment was the 'Tonkatsu!' idea... I admire you for coming up with that! You get two gold Junnos for it! No, three!!!

I liked the plot a lot - alternate dimensions and how people deal with it can be fascinating, and I loved that you made it key that Akame were together. And of course Nakamaru sits exams in his ideal life he always wanted... The the clone story was wonderful, as were all the little references to recent and not so recent 'canon' events. At least this time I'm understanding them first time round. :-)

I was intrigued when the plot seemed to be going dark-ish for a while... but I guess dark!crack isn't your style? :-)

First might've been gothicauthor over on ficwars, but you're definitely the first over here... That's the problem with posting slightly long-ish fics - it does take a while for people to find the time to read them!

Ah, 'Tonkatsu'. I do believe KT came up with that one themselves, though it probably didn't involve a hairdressing pig. I'm horrible at making Junno puns in fic - when I reach a good place for one, my mind goes blank - so that'll have to do. I will accept my three gold Junnos with pride!

alternate dimensions and how people deal with it can be fascinating, and I loved that you made it key that Akame were together.It's sort of a hangover from IV - I either wanted to do time travel or alternate dimensions, and ended up writing a prequel instead, so all the dimensional stuff got carried over. I like a nice bit of creepy uncertainty, and that feeling of danger when they strayed too far from each other was one of the things I most wanted to get across. That, and not knowing whether or not they were back home in the final chapter. Schrödinger's

But the hairdressing pig (with the kanji pun plus the reference to Konkatsu!) is what makes it such genius!

I like a nice bit of creepy uncertainty, and that feeling of danger when they strayed too far from each other was one of the things I most wanted to get across.

All I can say is, that really worked! And I love that kind of thing, too.

Congratulations! You have now officially fallen too far into fandom.

Ow, ow, let me out let me out.......... NOT.

I think that stuff with the computer in the second of the series was probably about as dark!crack as I get with fanfic...

But... wasn't that computer Gackt? Dark!Gackt? LOL! Sorry. ;-)

Takki would probably make a pretty good gigolo!

Ow, ow, let me out let me out.......... NOT.

You've got far too many unfinished fics, so you would be wise not to try to escape.

But... wasn't that computer Gackt? Dark!Gackt? LOL! Sorry. ;-)

Okay, I admit, Gackt is pretty cracky all by himself... The poor guy, I feel so bad about that. The entire second story came from me having a nightmare about a grey and purple telephone we used to have - from that, I got the computer, and from there...well...

Takki would probably make a pretty good gigolo!

It's probably his sideline in RL anyway...

[itsumono_you_ni]

Wow. That was just awesome :O. I thought IV would be the best thing ever but this proved me wrong. You just get better and better! :D I did a little dance when I saw this on ficwars (/^D^)/ \(^D^\) \(^D^)/~

I love how even though Akame are together, they still want and need to be around their friends. I love stories where the main characters' lives don't revolve around each other that much... but well, I'm weird xD

I feel sad for alter!Akame though :( They seemed really happy T.T Poor alter!Pi :( and the rest of the alter!universe...I wonder what happens to it afterwards :S

Will be looking forward to VI! :D

[notaverse]

Thank you! I'm actually happier with IV, to be honest - I think that might be the most ambitious fanfic I've ever written, trying to give everyone backstory that matched up with the hints I'd already given *and* could plausibly make them into the people they are now. I am all in favour of people doing happy dances, though! ^_^

As much as I love Akame, I am, overall, a KAT-TUN fangirl, so when I can work everyone else in I will certainly do so. They have lives outside each other, after all!

I feel sad for alter!Akame though :( They seemed really happyThey were. ^_^ Excuse me while I copy and paste an explanation I wrote for a commenter on ficwars

[itsumono_you_ni]

Oooooh wow...that is cool :O I feel a little better for alter!Akame now. I hope they find each other again in wherever universe they ended up in. They grew on me so much that I felt my heart breaking because of their spontaneous disappearance :S

Oh I'll be waiting no matter how long it takes, can't rush inspiration, right? ;)

[notaverse]

They grew on me so much that I felt my heart breaking because of their spontaneous disappearance

You're making me feel guilty now. :-( I wouldn't worry, they are back where they belong, though I suspect Kame will have a lot of explaining to do about why he missed the game, Jin will openly quit working for the Kitagawas, and Yamapi will end up leaving the family too in favour of moving in with Takki, the gigolo down the street. They'll be okay! ^_^

[punkroxta]

This. There is no way to describe how much I adore this! It reminds me so much Spirited Away, and it's even better because it's all futuristic and snazzy and Akame

[notaverse]

Wow...that is some comment! Thank you so much for all the little details! ^_^

even Nakamaru can walk in on them and walk back out untraumatised.

Well, he has had quite a few years to get used to it. ;-) But I reckon he was so happy about the promotion, he wouldn't have noticed even if he'd walked in on something...uh...more serious!

And Ueda, he's so cute! Running around the ship and leaving his juniors passed out everywhere.

It was the image of Ueda running around backstage at the Tokyo Dome during the solos that did it! No wonder he eats so much - got to keep his energy up for those superhuman feats of endurance! (Jin needs to eat more.)

A group of individuals who can't have less in common with each other but somehow become the best person they can be when together.Aww, that's so sweet. *sniffles* I hate it when KAT-TUN haters complain about how the group is all about Akame and the rest are just their backing singers, because it's blatantly not true. They don't always get along and they openly admit they fight, but that's the

[punkroxta]

I'm glad it came out substantial in the end because my initial reaction after I read this fic is to insanely keysmash my way to China. It just feels wrong to go simply"dkjfhjhgfkadhk ILOVETHISOMG!" at a 10-chapter fic XD

I always find it so hard to explain to the haters KAT-TUN's unorthodox kizuna. I mean, yeah, Junno always manages to piss of every other member of KAT-TUN and it's no secret that Koki used to hate everybody and their managers have to force them to spend time with each other at dinner... but just imagine if Johnny suddenly decided that Junno is to trade places with another T, say, Tegoshi. I don't think KAT-TUN will ever let something like that happen without a fight, they're fiercely protective of each other. ♥♥♥♥♥

[notaverse]

I think the Chinese might object to that... But I do love long comments, so I'm happy!

KAT-TUN's kizuna is the best. ^_^ I love that they're such a tight little unit - six complete individuals, who stay that way even when they're working together, and it just makes them even better. Sure, they're all weird, but that's half their appeal!

[xx_me_myself_i]

This fanfiction is the best piece of writing I have ever read.
Seriously. You do not know how happy I am to have read this whole thing in the course of a few days.
I decided to read the first JE Fleet a couple nights ago because I was bored, and I wasn't even expecting to like it because I thought it would be too much sci-fi for me, but that wasn't the case at all
How long did it take you to think of all the brilliant ideas in this fanfiction? It would've taken me a lifetime but I have to say my favorite is everybody in ARASHI and how they were having an orgy in one of the chapters xD
My mind is a blur of memories from the whole series but I love Kame's chair fetish and I love how in this chapter everybody walks in on Akame for promotions :D
I really hope you are continuing this because I will be waiting hopefully patiently for the next installment ♥.

[notaverse]

Aww...*blush* That's so lovely of you to say so. It really is more crack than sci-fi, though! I'm pretty sure very little in there would hold up under the laws of physics!

Surprisingly, it doesn't take that long. I'm not much of a planner - I usually start off with an image, or a concept, or a joke that I want to write about, then write till I get to that point, then keep going. It generally works itself out, and as I go along, I think of things that could be entertaining to add. As for Arashi...well...you do not want to walk in on one of their strategy meetings.

I have no idea if there will be more, but I wouldn't rule it out! Thank you for commenting, and I'm glad you enjoyed the series! ^_^

[akamaru07]

I don't know why I only read this now but I finished the 5-part series over the weekend and its now responsible for dark circles under my eyes. XD

I LOOOOOVE IT! <33

Hope that's enough to tell you how much because I'm not really good at comments *____* Just curious, did you do a lot of research on this one? I mean, I have very little idea about spaceships and such or maybe its just me :D

[notaverse]

Thank you! Sorry about the dark circles, but I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to read all that! ^_^

Not much research, no. I've picked up a lot of sci-fi terminology from books/TV/movies over the years, and because most of the technologies I'm writing about don't exist yet, I can't say for certain what they will/won't be capable of. That gives me a lot of leeway for making errors! But no, I'm neither a scientist nor an engineer, so I just have to hope that what I'm writing doesn't sound too ridiculous and concentrate on the characters instead. And the comedy. ^_^
