Read all three parts that are sitting here in my HD. What can I say,
simply awesome, I couldn't put it down. I read all three parts, even
thought I have to study for a final.
well, me and Nigel are sitting here, looking over the comments...
me = RPM
Nigel = NDM
Only a few short comments off of the top of my head:
RPM: okay...
I'd try to keep the cameos down a bit, and try to keep them related to the
story. The Flash and Godai cameos were great, but some of the others
like the "Friends" one was kinda out of it.
NDM: if you think there's lots of cameos now... >=)
RPM: I swear, it's not my fault. BUT seriously, there _is_ a point
to all this came-mania, you just won't see it for a while...
Angst!!! Part 3 definitely needed more angst. The token angst scenes
were really good, but I think needed to carry on longer.
RPM: There's not enough flat-out comedic fanfics out there. That's what
Nigel here is tryin to do... although there _had_ to be angst
somewhere...
NDM: I'm not good at angst.
RPM: I am, but I feel stupid writing it anyways....
Resolution, you gotta have resolution. I'd be real disappointed if you
just let everything hang at the end. If nothing else, I think
Isamu-Nabiki and Ranma-Akane should end up together. Isamu and Nabiki
are off to a good start, but I'd love to see more Akane and Ranma
interaction. Resolving the other characters is not a big deal, as you
haven't used them much and there hasn't been much development of their
characterizations in your fanfic.
RPM: well, the Isamu-Nabiki thing... I don't see why it shouldn't
be resolved....
NDM: hrm....
RPM: but, personally, as the editor, I think that resolving the
Ranma/Akane thing would not be a good thing. Why? Those two
have gotten along well in the past, and yet they always end
up angry again. There's nothing _that_ new happening in EDAW
with their relationship. Just a moment or two, as (I hope)
R. Takahashi might have done it. Nigel?
NDM: I'll resolve some things, but not the way people expect...
While I understand you not wanting to do anything that Takahashi wouldn't
do, I think you should at least resolve the elements that you've stuck
into the storyline with your fanfic. IE, Isaum/Nabiki and Ranma/Akane
actually being getting along.
RPM: we'll see where this goes... there _is_ a plot layed out.
(although he's dived wildly away from it now and then. The
Okonomiyaki thing has flown out wildly beyond where I saw it
going, and that wasn't even his creation to begin with... %)
My $0.0000001,
RPM: Oh, the inflation!!!
