OverMaster Writes for Every Franchise in Existence.

School Days.
When writing for the original Unequally Rational and Emotional, years ago-- Jesus, it has been that long-- I wrote this gag sequence with a dead Makoto and Sekai being dead and forcefully transported to the afterlife by Kuchiki Rukia. Ichigo, then, commented that they would make each other be in Hell no matter where they were sent.
I thought it was a funny gag, and I received a bravo for it. I was fairly proud of it. This was shortly after I'd watched the School Days anime, and it took me a long while bothering to check more of 0verflow's material out.
Then I read more about Sekai's mother, and I felt bad about what I'd written.
It was so stupid, to feel guilty about ruining the life of a fictional character. But from then on, whenever I thought of writing more School Days stuff, I thought of that poor horribly flawed woman, sitting all alone in her home, after losing her only child to a brutal assault with knife...
When, a lot of time later, I wrote a chapter taking place between early Unequally chapters showing how Negi first actually met Komori Kiri and Tsunetsuki, I retconned Makoto into being still alive, and by extension, so was Sekai, even if she wasn't shown there herself.
It was such a dumb, pointless thing to do. I could have used any other boy than Makoto there...
But somehow, I feel like the little Youko-san living inside of my head, somewhere in there, is smiling now.

Tarzan.
One day, the animals of the jungle rushed over to a large tree where Tarzan was sleeping.
"Tarzan, Tarzan!" they woke him up, screaming in a collective shrill, high pitched voice. "Help us!"
Tarzan snapped back to his senses. "What?! What?! What's going on?! You just cut my beauty nap short!"
"Tarzan, a wild, huge gorilla has invaded the jungle!" a zebra cried in the squeaky, pitiful voice. "He's raped us all, leaving us talking like this!"
"What?! All of you?! Even you, Lion?!"
"Yes, even me!" the lion weeped.
"And you, Leopard!?"
"Yes, me too!" the leopard sobbed.
Tarzan looked at the giraffe. "And you?! But, how did he reach that high?!"
The giraffe broke into tears. "He climbed up a tree and, from there--!"
Tarzan puffed his manly chest up. "This just cannot continue! I'm going to put an end to him! Where is he?!"
"He's hiding in the big cave by the river!" the animals squealed as one.
"I'm going right there, now!" Tarzan promised, turning to his wife. "Jane! Give me the knife!"
His wife handed him a huge, sharp hunting knife, which Tarzan secured to his loincloth. Giving his famous howl of war, he grabbed a vine and began swinging towards the cave, with all of the animals following him.
Fearlessly, Tarzan strode into the darkness of the cave. And then, there was a feral scream, and several loud sounds of struggle and violence. Growls, grunts, roars, and all of the animals waited outside, too scared to enter.
After half an hour of this ferocious fight, Tarzan walked out, pulling up on his loincloth.
"What happened, Tarzan?!" the animals squealed. "What happened?!"
"What do you think happened?!" Tarzan asked back in the same shrill, high pitched voice. "I slipped, and dropped the knife!"
