Summary:
Dan watches as the girls face off against Hojino with the help of
Ferio,
one of Askot's minions. The young boy has a few words with him and
learns that dealing with him might be more dangerous than he had
originally planned.
Review:
Well, it seems Sean's formatting is alright. And no really big
glaring typos.
Pretty clean.
And I am finally getting to enjoy this fic. ^_^
Anyway, there are still a few inconsistencies like calling a she a
he and a
few missing commas. Look it over again.
Keep up the good work!
Hooray! Another poor fool falls to Dan's unusual charms. This is
actually one of my favorite fics to write, I'm planning a sequel already.
I promised myself I wouldn't start until this one was over. Especially
after the trouble I had not giving things away during the Spirit Within
series, I had all three chapters going at one time when writing that one.
Since Dan is basically a hardbringer of doom, I suppose this is a bit
grim for most pure comedy fans, but thats part of its charm. Still, he's
got a long way to go until the final battle with Zagato, and Xellos. Just
don't expect him to see the light of goodness anytime soon.

Summary:
Ranma gets a visit from an old friend, who is surprised to find out
that
he is a girl. Also Akane deals with some new and interesting
problems
as she is hunted down by devil hunters.
Many dangerous things still loom on the horizon, waiting for them.
Review:
You know, whenever I C&C for the SLR I always seem to have at least
one or two synopsis from Sean. ^_^
I think it's because I write to much. That would I don't have any of
those 'friend' things I keep hearing about at work...
Anyway, another really nice chapter of Permanent, one of Sean's
better
works. Up to snuff as always with Sean's works.
Anyway, keep up the good work, Sean!
But of course. I shall endevor to keep this one in high quality. It is
what I consider my 'flagship title'. Lucky for me, I have found
inspiration once again. I think I can keep everyone on their toes with
Ukkyo and Akane's new problem with Magical Girls to play with now.

Summary:
A dark Ranma/batman fusion where Ranma isn't related to Bruce Wayne,
for
once.
In the opening chapters, Ranma's life is destroyed when his pregnant
wife is shot and killed on their way back from a funeral. Grief-
stricken, he becomes a recluse and decides to take on the mantle of
Batman. Meanwhile, Kodachi becomes The Black Rose, an insane
criminal
who is developing dangerous chemicals for her own amusement and
personal
gain.
Review:
Oookay, another one of Sean's works. That should, in all essence,
tell it all. ^_^
This isn't exactly bad, but it isn't either the pinnacle of
perfection. It's a
pretty weird fusion, with Batman of all things, something that is
not my
cup of tea. It does have nice touches, but still polish is always
neccesary.
You'll probably see a revised version of at least the first chapter as
my next post to the list. It does lack polish, but I don't think it could
have been much better if I didn't post it first. The feed back I got will
help it shine a bit more when I revise it.
The time frame will change from four years to about ten-fifteen years to
fit the characters jobs-relationships. [A good example being Sayuri's
Police Chief job.] I also have plans to expand a bit on the opening and
some of the fights.
I agree that the audience for this one is a bit smaller than most fics,
but I think it was done pretty well; it was inspired by a bunch of
Ranma/Batman cross overs and fusions I read on the web. All of which had
him related to Bruce Wane, usually as his son.

Summary:
The group moves towards the visitors center after discovering the
destroyed docks. Unfortunately they also have their first run in
with a
live Saiyan.
Also, Carrot wakes up in the Pokemon village under the care of Nurse
Joy. He decides to press onward despite his still unhealed wounds.
Leaving the Pokemon village behind, he decides to follow his friends
in
the hope of catching up before they make it off the island without
him.
Review:
Well, Sean does his stuff again. This is still a pretty unique
thing. Not
a must read, but it may interest quite a few readers. The prose
style and
the presentation is signature Sean D'Anna/Carrot Glace, and you know
what that means.
But still a fan of Sean's work will find this a great read.
Thanks again, you've been pretty kind this time. I think this is an
original idea for a self insertion, particularly since the insertist is
getting the short end of the stick for the whole thing pretty much, he
isn't exactly some self deprecating moron thrust into Nerima by some
magical force either. The 'Jurassic Park' angle to self insertion is
something I'm surprised no one else has tried before.
It's nice to hear my formatting is getting better, it's been a major
complaint on most of my stuff. I've been working on it, but couldn't
quite seem to get it right for some reason. I'm still trying.
I think I can make the Saiyans pretty nasty villains pretty easily too.
I have fans? It's still pretty hard to swallow this at times, I get fan
mail sometimes. It's kind of a tingly feeling, weird; but I like it.
