If you don't like, don't read it.  Actually, I was a little dissappointed 
on the story myself.  A little too cliche if you can dig it.


So, with out futhur ado, I am gonna write something a little more wacky.

Megaman vs. Ranma

Or maybe Magnificent Seven from Ranma-punk, vs The Evil Space Pirates 
Omega Grenn

HEHEHE!  HAHAHAHA!

I'm sorry if you thought that, but I needed the idea to start.  

Take a deep breath and plow through this swamp of C&C...

Here's my suggestion to you: if you can't think of a story, then just
wait till an idea hits you, then write it up no matter how stupid it
sounds.  

Works for me; I came up with a totally stupid idea, posted it, Bentley
replied with stinging criticism, now I have re-done it to the point
where it's actually a good story (IHMO!)...i just need a good title now.
Soon to be posted! (like how I sorta weaved in a fic plug?)
Anyways, don't worry if your ideas seem corny, is the point of this.
No fanfic I've seen wasn't rewritten at least once.  Check that...
no fanfic of excellent quality wasn't rewritten at least once.

Packaging is important, too.  Yours was awful!
I personally use DOS Edit for its multi-file text mode capabilities!
And nothing pisses me off like lines that are 350 characters long!
If you write your literature in a graphical user interface, I know you
can maximize your editor and see the whole line, but remember your
roots! Computer monitors started as fixed-block text graphics!  And I
still use those graphics!

Ranma 2096 and the side story previously called "Winter" are perfect
examples of stories that I just plain don't want to !@#$ing read!

I agree, I just skimmed through it.  It's just plagerism.

Check the spelling on "plagerism."

I read the original story on the remailer and then I read the story that
was recenlty posted on the ML.  The two are identical, with
the first story being more in detail and describing more.  Whoever
wrote the second story has a lot of explaining to do.

Not quite the same...but it was an obvious, to put it bluntly, rip-off.

Where's this quote from, anyway?
