LOL, yeah, I'm normally the same, I'll write a couple of chapters and then it will fizzle out. But I'm determined to see this one through! I plan not to post anything until I have the whole thing written though, so it might take a while!

I don't like Takada either. Mostly because she was mean to Misa and thought she was so awesome. I totally see your reasons for shipping Mello and Near, I would probably do the same, only I can't see past the LxRaito!
