3.  What happens when Happosai gets free?  I know that this is too early 
to ask (I love spoilers) but I just have to know especially with the 
stories that Ranma made up.

I cannot spoil.  Mainly because I haven't drafted that part yet.  I'm trying
to see how much TNT-equivalence will occur as a result of Nodoka's encounter
with MegaHentai.  <BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!>

I don't even wanna think about this... argh.

4.  Are you going to let Ranma also use his other techniques, like the 
Hiryu-kourindan (sp?) ?  If you don't know what I mean, please tell me.


If you're referring to HI RYU SHO TEN HA, I've already done it (although I
may have done it wrong.  <sheepish grin>  I based the outcome of the move on
the Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle game I have for the SNES.  A column of light and a
vertically launched opponent...

I believe the move actually works like this:  Ranma gets his opponent
*really* mad, and thus hot, while he stays cool.  Then he get the
opponent into a spiral (each turning around each other with Ranma in the
center).  At this point he unleashes a cool puch which creates a
ki whirlwind around the opponent.  So your description could well be
right, although I must admit to never having seen the animation of the
move (either on the game or the series).

5.  Finally, how long will your story be?

The length is indefinite.  I will continue to write as long as the story
doesn't deteriorate.  With the volume of mail I'm receiving from readers on
the ML, the end is a far distance away.  (Thanks people!  ^_^ )

<big sigh of relief>  Now if we could just get you going faster ;)
