Well, the B-ball game was stuck in there 'cause me and Nigel are basketball
addicts, severely.  We get together and cheer/jeer during televised games.
Aaand... we gave some thought as to WHAT R 1/2 character would best be at
which spot.

 There's one thing we agreed on:  Ryoga would be one kick-ass power forward.

I have to agree there , although Ranma would be a great small foward or point 
guard . Look he can fly higher than Mike.... :)

as for Hockey, well, maybe in a future side story.  The Big Wrapup is
in production, and Nigel is sending Mr. Hentaii off with a bang.

Well if you read Ranma 1/2 round robin part 2 (which Nigel M started) 
you'll see how big a Hockey Fan I am near the end...Also a big football 
fan too (Go packer's go!!)

And I've got some schemes for Mr. Hentaii too...

Great , pique my curiosity ...:)


I want comment's on my 
Fanfic's too (although there is nothing there worth commenting about...) 

Right.  I finally found the ones you wrote.
One of them was "Be Careful What You Wish For" right?
A good concept, but I think I need to go back and read parts 1&2
cause I feel a bit lost at part 3.

I'll proably be doing a prequel to event's I introduced in part 3 now , 
since I wrote part 4 . I do believe I explained the jump in conitnuity in 
part 2 , but if I didn't well ....In part 2 Ranma realized that the new 
reality he was in really sucked , so he wanted thing's to be back to 
normal . However , being Ranma , he wished to become a girl instead of 
thing's returing to normal , so I stuck him in a reality where he was a 
girl . Also to make the wish become totally true , I erased all his memories 
of being a boy , because he really couldn't be a girl if he remembered he was 
a boy ......


The other one was "Love in September" right?

Yep...I've also done Ah!!Ranma-sama , Crisis Managment team Nerima , 
and the second part of the Round Robin story (great for Kasumi fan's ...
Yes I will do a prequel!!!)

Hm...
I'll admit, it's an interesting and entirely new direction to take.
Very fresh idea.  It kinda bugged me, however, that Akane didn't show
much conflict between Ranma & Shampoo (if ya start making her say
"I cannot decide - I shall have both!" then I'll start to wonder...)
but then again I haven't read the latest re-write yet...

I did this after the Rythmic Gymnastic's contest if you read it over again , 
and accordin to my interprtation the Ranma and Akane relatioship didn't 
start to devlop untill the Ice Skating competiton . Yes I have really 
meddled with conitunity here , but I did to make my story better . 
And no , she won't become Kuno (shiver's at that thought...) , although 
If I do a sequel of this I may contrate on how these event's affect the 
future for Akane and Ranma's relationship....


The more thing's change....By RPM
Great fic that's funny , through , and is suprisingly orginal . 
A great Ryoga fic , and waiting to read the sequel (I will do that 
Saturday) .

Read it yet?

Nope , once again Time constarint's (ie. College and the fact I have 
no home computer.....)

I probbably changed something already anyways.  I had another look at it
recently and decided to retool a few things.  The post-mortem scene is
removed and I'm trying to make the villian a man of fewer words.

Great , pique my curiosity again....:)

Anyways, the whole writing tehcnique that I'm using in the sequel is,
even by my standards, a bit weird.  How so?  Well.. I've got a full rough 
draft of the prelude, part 1-1, 1-2, 3-1, and 3-2.  I've got roughly half
or less of part 1-3, 2-1, 2-2, and 3-3.  And every time I retool one chapter
I gotta go around to make sure continuity is clean.

Now that is weird , although not as wierd as Be carefull what you wish for ...
which had me write part 1 , then go on summer vacation and then I go 
and change the ending....

Nigel, he just scribbles ideas on paper.  I just had to type everything out
as it hit me.

I usually write plan's or rough draft's on paper . Then when I go to my 
dad's I write the fic's onto the computer....


y'know, now that ya mention R 1/2 members going crazy...

I'm getting an idea... murders... schizophrenia... suspense... hm...
dead parents... murdered martial artists... a rash of slain transvestites...

hm...

Tsubasa:  Madness
A Ranma 1/2 story

sounds good... sounds good...
now if only I could finish the two other fanfics first....
and soon...

Hmmm .... This could actually work...:)


Ja ne!!
