Recommendation

I need an icon for guilty pleasures. I first read this story when it was in progress in 2004 and was reminded of it when I came across an old email where I recommended it to a friend when it was finished. It has so many things wrong with it that if I saw it nominated at IYFG I wouldn't hesitate to challenge it.

It has missing words, artifacts of previous drafts, uncorrected typos, some punctuation errors, in text author's notes (including a very annoying political one), warping of characterization to fit the story needs, inconsistent characterization, crossover with a series that has nothing in common with Inuyasha AT ALL, and the requirement to ignore a couple of BIG continuity errors but if you're like me....you'll be laughing too hard to care most of the time. I can forgive a lot for really good comedy. The scene where Inuyasha discovers Sharper Image alone is pure gold.

All Things Keep Getting Better by Drake 220 is a crossover between Inuyasha and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. The Queer Eye boys spot Inuyasha on the street while on vacation in Japan and feel that they must stage an intervention. If Inuyasha's characterization wobbles at bit at times the author gets the Queer Eye guys dead on. If you are a fan of either show I highly recommend this.
