1st off - what is the story list and order of the whole shibang?  I think I
missed a part somewhere.

Story List?  Well, "The More Things Change" ended with the aftermath
of a big fight involving damn near everybody (hence the hospital scene).

I originally wrote a small little side story called "Nerima By Night"
Which took place after the events of TMTC, but now that I'm ironing
out my plot, well, I realize that Nerima By Night is actually Chapter
1 Part 2 Beta copy.  How stupid of me, eh?

Anyways, the whote TMTC thing, in order, is now in White Wolf's
ftp mailer thingy, tmtc@ranma.net

Well, this is the BETA version of the prologue to the sequel to my
first fanfic, "The More Things Change", and as such, it is subject to
wild and major changes if I think that it needs it.  I've got a plot ironed
out and I just wanna see what the ML thinks of the direction that I'm gonna
be taking this thing in.

I like it - Can't wait to see what happens next.  I loved the hospital
sceene where everybody yells at Ranma to be nice to Akane just so they don't
have to listen to their bickering.  Now, Ryo figured out how to shatter
bones - this could be bad.  A very good start indeed.

Good.  I felt Ryo became too much of a wuss at the end of TMTC.
I mean, it was my objective to have a villian that was NOT overwhelmingly
god-like and powerfull, but it got a tad ridiculous.

By the end of Chapter 3 part 1, (I told you I've got a plot ironed out,
didn't I?) you guys are gonna hate Ryo.  Just totally hate the bastard.
Oh, and he'd gonna get a love interest too.  You won't believe who
I've got lined up for it.

There's nothing I like better than a good plot twist.

I think I blinked - when did Ryogo get Ranma's curse?

I think it's in part 9 of TMTC that Ryoga tells the gang about his
little trip to Jusenkyo.

Ukyo:  Greatly upset at the news of Ranma & Akane's becoming an official
  couple, but puts up a brave front.  She became closer to Ryoga as she
  helped him deal with this major event as well.  Attracted to Ryoga but
  hasn't admitted it to anybody, even herself.

Beat him over the head with the kick-ass spatula until he screams that he
love you, Ukyou!

Hm.  Had I written her as excessively violent before?  Well, it ain't
too late...

BTW, due to some weird writing funk, I've got everything outlined, but only
the prelude (I rewrote it a bit again), Chapter 1-1 (1/3 of it), 1-2
(finished, but needs refinment), 2-1 (barely), and 3-1 (halfway done).

In case you're wondering, TPOH is gonna have 3 chapter, with three parts to
a chapter, and one Epilogue.  Part 1 is money, 2 is Love and War, and part
3 is Power, How to Get Some.

The two things I don't look forward to are writing in the angst (I feel
pretty damn uncomfortable and cheezy when I write that stuff) and 
writing in the mushy scenes.  Hell, I might have to go back and read
that fanfic "Autumn" for some inspiration...

BTW, The next installment of "Eight Days A Week" is coming up this weekend,
and if you're a fan of "The More Things Change", I _think_ you'd better
read it, if only for the cameo appearance we've got lined up.
