EDIT:
For whoever gives a crap, I'm doing 3 of the 'suggestions' I received. Two are already complete, but I'll hold off posting till the third is ready.

I also realize now that THREE of the four 'iss me off' themes were hit on my list. >:

And I've had enough, may be time to re...
END EDIT

As I said, I was going to close up shop last night, so I gave it a little more time for last second ideas.

I'm going to admit...someone DID suggest one of the four 'no-no' character/series/themes. Not saying who did, what it was, or whether it was via note or response to the journal...

...but, I'll be doing one (or more?) of the suggestions anyway instead of killing this opening fully.

Thanks for all the suggestions, we'll see what turns up as a result.
