Hello, everyone! ^_^
First off:
Some questions that I need answered in order help two of my fanfics: 
Hard To Say Goodbye (Ranma) and Eve (ditto)...

1) (a) At the end of the manga where did Nodoka live? Was it with the
    Tendo's?
    (b) How does Nodoka refer to the three Tendo sisters 
    (i.e., "Kasumi-chan, Nabiki-chan")?
    (c) Is Akari's grandfather alive? Does she live alone? Any known
    relatives? 

More medically-themed questions...
2) (a) How long can a person survive without solid food and what kind of
    conditions can arise from lack of a decent diet?
    (b) On average, how long does it take for bruised ribs to heal?
    (c) In Japan, how is the hospital treatment paid for? Is it through tax
    (like in the UK) or through a patient's own insurance or something
    else? 

Thank you for *any* answers and please e-mail any answers to me directly
and not to the list. :)

Now, as for my fanfic updates (all Ranma):

Hard To Say Goodbye: Chapter 9 nearly done, *should* be out by next week.
Also depends on answers to above questions. Less emphasis on Nabs and more
on Kuno than last chapter. Delayed from this weekend due to illness (makes
it difficult to concentrate). 

Eve: I'm struggling but getting there and I'm about half-way through
chapter 6. Emphasis, at the moment, on Akari Unryu, Ryoga's 'girlfriend'. 
Plans for the next few chapters: Akari's decision and the consequences, 
Jaden's revenge on Ranma starts, more about said vengeful character's 
past and the results of the attempt to 'free' Ryoga from the spell. 

Whispers of the Wicked Past: One scene finished in chapter 2 and I'm trying
to balance between giving too much away and not giving enough. Once
finished, it will go through pre-readers (yay! My first pre-readers!)
before being sent out to FFML. Experiencing a little writer's block. 
Emphasis will still be mainly on Ryoga and Akane. Still looking for
alternative title. 

Thanks for reading! ^_^

"Infamy! Infamy! They've got it in for me!" - a line crying out to be used
in a Ranma fic. No, really.
