(I can think of one who would, is why I don't read her.)

I suppose it would depend how closely it followed the progress of Gonou. What gets changed? Language? Incidents? I still think I'd find it interesting as an exercise in how that person read Gonou, like van Gogh copying Hiroshige: how utterly different when it's a western eye seeing. Like the dj retellings I did, and the stuff that had to be changed there to make them comprehensible.

Of course I *might* be a bit more exercised if all my Saiyuuki fic wasn't so old as to be history...
