Yep, after about two months, Chapter Four is finally up. However, it's not as good as I wanted it to be. Anyway, go check it out. And I hope it's not all that bad. www.fanfiction.net/s/1866211/4/By the way, does anyone know what 'Muerte Carcel' means anyway? A hint; it's really supposed to be something like 'Carcel de Muerte' ... I think anyway.

Yay, now I can see the reply button. I hope you saw my welcome to you, that I wrote in another thread. (Which one? ^^;; It was answer to something you wrote anyway.) Muerte means Death or something like that, doesn't it? Carcel I have no idea. Please tell me.

Just a bit of embarrassment in not knowing what I'm doing. That's all. I'm over it now.

Thank you Me-Nuriko, for all of your wonderful reviews, you're part of the reason that keeps me updating. If it weren't for your encouragement, I may have given up a while ago. For that, I want to thank you very much.
As for what the title means; you were right on the first word. I think I translated the title twice in the fic, or it could have been once. Not quite sure.

I should thank you. There is something special with Muerte Carcel, something that makes it special to me. I'm so glad you haven't given up. *hugs* As for the translation, yeah, I think I read it and thought, aah, that what it means, but now I don't remember. Oh, well, I just have to reread it. But I don't mind that a bit.

Carcel del Muerte is more grammatically correct in Spanish, but Muerte Carcel means about the same thing. Jail of Death or Death Jail. I thought I had read the translation in the story, but when I reread it, I couldn't find it. Your story was the first AU Saiyuki story I had read. I think I started with chapter one. I had liked it and was sad when no updates were posted. Was glad to see you had joined the message board AND updated. Welcome. It's a good chapter and I look forward to the next one.

Thanks for the welcome cesmith! I interpreted carcel as prison instead of jail. I think it would've sounded better that way. Anyway, I really would like to thank you. I never thought, that after only four chapters, I would get so much feedback. Though, it makes me feel bad that I take so long to update. I just can't seem to get anything that I want down the way I want it. Though, I do hope that the next chapter won't take longer and be somewhat better.

When I think of the word Carcel, I always think of the little jails in the towns in Mexico in the old westerns. The word for prison isn't as rhythmic, and I like Carcel better for your story, even if it might not be quite correct.
As I'm not a writer, just an appreciative fan, I don't know how hard it is to write. I can tell you, however, how much I enjoy all the effort and hard work you put into your story.
I like your Wacko Warner. One of my all time favorite cartoons, and one of the best ever created.

Yea, I was never really good a Spanish and somehow I remembered the word, I just think it fits.
When I seen Wacko, I just couldn't resist, I love him. He is the greatest Warner cartoon character, and I'm glad someone else likes him.

I always liked the Rita and Runt segment , or Pinky and the Brain, too, but I loved it when the Warners' sang one of their songs, or the Wheel of Morality, or did one of their movie skits.

I always loved the Wheel of Morality, but Pinky and the Brain do come real close. To this day, I still have the Pinky and the Brain song committed to memory. I liked the Rita and Runt segments too.

Whenever I read carcel i think of prison too... because when I lived in Spain there used to be one not to far from where I lived...
Very glad you updated, it's a great story.
