I guess I'll reply to it later...

This guy ticks me off.  No, I mean it.  Who the hell does he think he
is?

He appears to be someone who actualy read _each_ of the Ranma FFs on
r.a.a.s, and kept some notes on each story, so as to review them.

I haven't seen anything from HIM on r.a.a.s..

Yeah, I'm waiting for Siskle and Ebert (sp?) to come out with their own
movies too. ;)

Submitting a fanfict very nearly disqualifies one from reviewing
them. I would never publish reviews because I have published stories,
and as you can tell from my writings, I have a very narrow view of what
would like to see the Ranma cast do. For example I am loath to kill
anyone in a story, or to put people in the hospital, or to have them
assulted beyond the normal bumps on the head and punting. That doesn't
mean that any story that does those things is "bad", some of them are
tremendously well written. I just wouldn't re-read them because I don't
care to see any of the characters that I love get hurt.

(Yeah, I know I only
have sent one thing so far, but I'm not posting unsolicted reviews of
someone else work either.)

Are there solicted reveiws?
