Knuckling down and buying the DVD set of NGE

Download sites are unreliable at times. I don't know *how* many dub sites I tooled around in which either had the series available only as:

1.) MegaVideo uploads, and MegaVideo has that cruddy limit on how many vids you can watch in a day unless you sign up for their subscription.

2.) Veoh and had it under a Mature rating, which means you have to download their player in order to watch it and I feel a little suspicious about it.

3.) YouTube segments of ten minutes each, which means occasionally having to hunt for the next segment.

Or they didn't have it all. Blasphemy! What dub site does *NOT* have Neon Genesis Evangelion?! (probably a site run by the same twits who posted one star reviews for it on Amazon, slammed it up and down for being "too complicated" and TYPE IN ALL CAPS) It's a freakin' *classic* anime series.

So I knuckled down and bought the DVD set. For some reason, it doesn't include End of Evangelion, so... I'm trying to find it on Amazon.com. And it's not cheap: I've seen it priced at over $100 US. o.o

Anyone know someone who's selling it at a reasonable price??

Draggies!

Trying to type a fanfic while someone in an IM is pinging my ear off, and I realized these guys need their clicks:

31_days fanfic: Now with Omake

I came up with the climactic funny line at three in the morning (that weird hour when everything is funny), and I also came up with a bit that I had to cut since it broke the flow of the story. But... that's what "omake" is for!

Title: "Scalpel in the Soul"
Day/Theme: September 3) IT GETS UNDER YOUR SKIN, LIFE.
Series: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Character/Pairing: Kozo Fuyutsuki, Gendo Ikari, Shigeru Aoba, Misato Katsuragi, Shinji Ikari, Pen-Pen, OFC
Rating: PG

Author's Note: Set immediately after yesterday's fic, and inspired by a comment from eastpath. A balance of drama and comedy and pathos in this chapter. And yep, a number of the core cast members have re-emerged from Instrumentality (still not sure who else will be returning: I'm figuring it out as I go along).
