Thanks, but I look mainly at the many people who are far better writers and just try to copy them.
I tried to write one-shots before I wrote A Friend Indeed Cal but I got bored with it and just skipped to writing a long one. Mostly because I was just plain bored with trying to write one-shots.

I have to admit though I can't write comedy very well. Mostly because all the jokes I would use are stuff from other series I watch, mostly crime shows or action ones, so the humor would be dry, not to mention ripped off. Hence I stick to action, though I would like to write something like a drama/angst fic, since hey lets face it, Geass is very angsty at times.

And Krimzon a PM sounds great. Like I said I had an idea for one but its pretty far-out.
