Cilla: Welcome to my little manga page! Okay, it's not a general manga page...it's my attempt at manga, which is rather sorry compared to some mangas I've seen. Oh well. ;-)

This project is not mine alone.

Combeferre: You're certainly right about that. What about those hours you spent making me model for you?

Cilla: You shut it! I wasn't talking about you. Sheesh, these figments get bigger heads every day...No, actually, *shoots Combeferre a Look* I was talking about the dear authoress, Lauren.

Combeferre: *glances up at title picture* It says 'Ursula' up there.

Cilla: *rolls eyes* Idiot. Can't you get outta here, 'Ferre? I don't think I need your help to introduce a page. I've done it many times before, thank you very much.

Combeferre: *sniff* Well, all right...If you're going to be that way...

Cilla: *bites lip* Awww...c'mere you. *hugs 'Ferre* Anyway, yeah, I was not original enough to develop my own manga storyline, so I have, with the author's permission, naturally, begun to develop a manga of one of Lauren's fics: "Deadboys". However, I do recommend that you read the story first or at least know what my individual Amis look like (there are all kinds of illustrations of them on the Images Page), otherwise I am not to be blamed if you get confused. Again, most profound apologies to Lauren for butchering the beautiful dialogue and description in her fic...<:-)

On with it, you say:

Cilla: Whew! One day I'll write a long, whining rant about how time-consuming manga is. Or maybe someday I'll post my storyboards. *sigh* Anyway, thanks for coming to see this, and if you liked it, e-mail me, or e-mail Lauren. And in the classic style of "Good Cop/Bad Cop", here's my attack-dog Combeferre with his own message.

Combeferre: *grr* Don't you dare steal any of this without asking! Not a single page, not a single panel! *grr*

Cilla: Good boy. Sit. Stay. And if I find you chewing my shoes, I will take a newspaper to you, don't think I won't.

Mommy, I wanna go home...
