*Edit*

This first submission to the group I'm now in. This one fic is testing the waters. If the general consensus I shouldn't be dumping my fanfiction in this group's gallery, I'll pull this and leave the group quietly.

For the time being, I'm filling a slot, not taking part in all the cute little events. Criticism is nice, and I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't simply say "It sux" or "I love it", but actually give me a line, a phrase, that you appreciated, and suggest what I can improve on in my writing abilities.

For the fans of the Witchblade anime, I have issues with the main character and her setup, but I'm not going to bash her. To the contrary, I'll give it my best shot to be faithful to the characters depicted herein.

And that's all I have to say on the matter. Older notes below...

----------------------------------------

A bit of waffle for the holidays.

It's sexier than my other The Darkness fic, but it's stll rather cool. Let's just hope that the rabid Witchblade otakus approve and don't motion for a lynching...

Of course, you guys should know there's a little Masane bashing. Honestly, why the hell does the product of the great forces of Light and Dark end up in the hands of an absolute ingrate. Ugh. Rant done.

And yes, there is Strange!Jackie. You think hanging around with the most potent evil is, like, a walk in the effing park? Hell NO! So you're get a little loopy to cope with the madness. Jackie's still Jackie, but he's also kinda gross (Unemployment... hitmen... notoriety... being on the run... yeah, he's gonna be pretty fucked up...). Hopefully, he'll be able to bathe as a token of gratitude. Honestly; I've referred to him as everything but a pirate, Jeez.Thank GOD I was able introduce the characters; using every damn pronoun and general noun under the sun in order to not bore the reader and lead up to the climactic whatever is the fecking pits. I mean,you can't refer to the guy as "Him/the dude/that guy" for longer than five paragraphs, otherwise the reader will fall asleep. This was cheer Hell, I kid you not. If I ever make another chaper, I'm gonna be 2000% less screwed when I do it...

Merry Christmas, everybody...
