Dude... Just sit back, enjoy the ride, and try not to think too hard about it. There's plenty of time for that -after- you're done with your first read-through.

Don't be silly. DJ did the same thing that Shinji did, and more. Afterwards, DJ goes and spends some quiet time with her. Wouldn't you feel compelled to be a little more talkative with someone who comes into your hospital room to give you some friendly quiet company?

Define 'flat background'. If you mean that he really doesn't have much of a background, then chill out. This is a pretty big piece, and in something this size you're not gonna learn all the big details until you're at least half-way through.

The hell? Could you kindly clarify what on Earth you're trying to say here?

Yeah, I know. Hear it all the time. Take note of my snarkage directed at the other NXE reviewers back in the other thread you started. Honestly, it makes me wonder why so many people gotta be so pretentious about fanfic. It ain't like these guys are trying to get published here or anything.

Gryphon and myself will be the first to tell you: we differ wildly. However, we do have one critical thing in common, and that thing is that we both like to have fun writing the kinda stuff that makes people minded like us become giddy with fanboy/girl delight.

I'm not saying this to be elitist or anything. I just want you to stop over-thinking this (or, as we like to say in the Navy, don't nuke it) and just enjoy the read through to the end. This isn't fanfiction.net, and besides, you wouldn't put down The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Glalaxy every chapter to dash off an email to Douglas Adams, would you?
