Thanks for being understanding; still, I'm terribly sorry for not emailing back - I suck! Please apologize to Sanada as well for me...but glad to hear you're enjoying all the stories! I will get back to the others - how could I not, with you guys cheering me on? ^_^
You might want to give OP's art another chance. I'm one of the few who liked the style from the start - I'm a fan of Western cartoons and saw elements of Warner Bros in Luffy's design. But I didn't imagine I could ever take it seriously. And then I found that it's one of the best manga & anime series I've ever seen, and the art is part of what makes it. I have lots of OP doujinshi, and many artists draw them beautifully--but I find I prefer Oda-sensei's depictions to anyone else's. The incredibly creative talent, the energy and feeling in his pictures, perfectly captures the characters. Other artists may draw the crew more attractively, but it isn't ever quite them, the chars I love so much.
--Which is another reason I urge you to get into OP, because my fanfic doesn't nearly do them justice...they're HARD characters to write... >_>
