"It’s a Wonderful Life" is no longer copyrighted but director Frank Capra, and stars James Steward and Donna Reed deserve all the credits for bringing this wonderful story to life on celluloid.

This story is mine, mine, MINE! Before featuring it on your websites, please obtain my permission. Please give credit where it’s due and please feature it in its entirety and original, unabridged form.

Rating:

The story is rated PG-13 due to some strong language use and rather mature themes. Because of some really depressing scenes, fans of HZGG who love saccharine-saturated stories are advised to steer clear of this one. Happy ending though if you manage to survive the seedy, depressing chapters.

Foreword

I wrote this story after watching "It’s a Wonderful Life". It’s a great, up-lifting story staring the late James Stewart and Donna Reed. Hard-working George Bailey runs the Bailey Building and Loan Association in his little town of Bedford Falls. He wishes he could travel and see the world but is tied to responsibilities to his family and to the loan office. Through his efforts, he helps the poor of Bedford Falls to afford homes of their own. George Bailey is the only thing standing between Mr. Potter, "the richest and meanest man" who wants to turn Bedford Falls into an entertainment center.

On Christmas Eve, George’s absent-minded uncle misplaces a large sum of money George desperately needs to save the loan association. Depressed by his failure and frustrated at being stuck in Bedford Falls, George stands on a bridge, contemplating suicide. ASG (Angel Second Class) Clarence shows George how life in Bedford Falls would be like if he had never been born.

Ah! My Goddess (Aa! Megami-sama in Japan) involves the relationship between three Goddesses, Belldandy, Skuld and Urd, and a mortal, Morisato Keiichi. Keiichi is a 2nd year Engineering student who went phoning for pizza and accidentally dials the Goddess Help Line, summoning Belldandy.

She grants him a wish. Keiichi, being rather short, wishes that he would like someone like Belldandy to be his girlfriend. Belldandy misinterprets it to be a request to stay with him forever, until God-sama terminates the contract. Then Skuld and Urd decide to join the couple…Read the manga yourself to find out more. It’s been a long time since I read this manga so fans of Ah My Goddess, my apologies if I characterize them wrongly.
