Bio:

Katharine is currently scribbling out an outline to another fic, even though she really should be working on the other unfinished one instead.

Her initial attraction to Gatchaman started at the ripe old age of twelve when, bored silly by too many Jetsons and Scooby Doo reruns, she stumbled across the premiere episode of Battle of the Planets.  After extensive research about the series through the remainder of junior high, punctuated by fits of writing truly horrible fanfics, a chance encounter with a reference guide of 1978-aired television series led her to Gatchaman, which in turn led to her first exposure to the series by way of the CG Anime-published Gatchaman Movie comic novels, procured from a dealer whose ad she spotted in the classifieds of a Starlog magazine.

Comments: This fic is so perfectly conceived and crafted that I can actually turn down the volume on the first three eps of Gatchaman II and imagine instead the dialogue Diinzumo has written here.

Comments: Even better than the first, wrapping seamlessly around that one's events and dialogue.  The fandom trying to make generalizations about the team right to their faces is great irony and has to be frustrating as hell to them.
