Since my brain is on the subject of Saiyuki anyway...

...why is it that whenever someone raises objections to Gokuu x anyone being equivalent to paedophilia or child pron a thousand fen rejoinder with, "No, it's not! He's over 500 years old!"

To which, about half the time, the OP replies, "Oh, I didn't know/realise/remember that! I guess it's okay then" with the optional "But I still don't like it" added to taste.

This response creeps me out, because it gives physical age precedence over emotional maturity. "Oh, you've reached majority? Well then, I'm sure you'll have no problems handling this..."

Granted, the law assumes the above as well, and it's only fanfic, but still.

これで以上です。

Fic: Exit Wounds

やあ、やっとできてしまいました！！

I started writing this fanfic in 2001 and wrapped it up last Saturday night. Completed, it stands at forty-four pages. To phrase this along slightly different lines, that's an average of eleven pages per year. I am so not joking when I say I am the slowest writer on the face of god's green earth.

But anyway, it's finished, and two days before the Saiyuki Gaiden serial started back up, so I did manage it after all. I'm posting it now in the hopes that at least some of you read it before my version of events gets totally jossed by the sure-to-be-coming scanslations.

So here it is, my longest in-the-works Saiyuki fic to date. Probably an R, takes place immediately after the last tankoubon/released chapters with all the spoilerage that implies. It's not meant to be cut in two, but lj is making me.

Without further ado, ( Exit Wounds. )
