The amount of C&C from the last couple of chapters was 
surprising.  Thanks, everybody!
	About the length; well, if I wrote them any longer, I'd have 
problems editing the chapters with PINE.  And if I waited to string 
sections together, you guys would have to wait, too.  I can usually write 
one chapter during the school week, and another over the weekend, but 
that's my limit.
	As for characters (i.e. Ryoga and Kuno) acting oddly, keep in 
mind that "reality" is starting to break down.  You readers already know 
that Ryoga's memories don't mesh with the "classic" Ranmaverse anymore.  
Kuno seems to be having the same problems...
	For the record, Ryoga did beat Spring with a "lucky" hit (aren't 
all Shi-Shi-Hokodan attacks unlucky by definition?).  Neither Spring nor 
chapter-eleven-plus Ryoga have seen a Shi-Shi-Hokodan before, though.  
Spring is good, but she's not as powerful as people expect her to be.  
There's a reason for this; you'll see it later.
	Re: Amazon Laws.  Spring is so desperate at this point that she's 
not thinking straight.  She did fail to recognize her own father, after 
all, and she turned her mother into a cat to take a shot at Ryoga.
	Re: Konatsu waiting at Ucchan's.  Sorry, you're all wrong.  It was 
fun reading your speculations, though.
	On the chronologically displaced kids thing: Last year, around 
the beginning of December, people on the net were speculating about what 
Ranma's kids would be like.  This story was born out of that thread.  If 
I remember right, D&I #1 hit the net before December's End, but the 
identities of Spring, Tachi, etc. were not explicitly stated until D&I #4 
or so, which I wrote in January.
	I want to finish this story so much I can taste it.  I know what 
happens next.  I know what happens after that.  If only my professors 
would cut back on the homework...
