Also, I'm revising existing sections of parts 2 and 3 with the help of the
Editor's continuum (you know who you are ^_^). Only a little bit of new
stuff has been added to part 3 for now. I'm trying to extend and develop my
long range plans for the story so that I don't wind up contradicting myself
later on...
Perhaps a guide to "Careful Destiny" characters? It might help a little
with your planning and could stop people making totally inappropriate
suggestions for your characters.
I have been toying wit the idea of writing a glossary/character sheet for
CD, but my lazy mind hasn't gotten around to doing that yet. It *would*
help me with continuity...
Don't worry, Careful Destiny is continuing, and it is open ended (hence no
known end to the story)
Seems appropriate. The 2nd wish Ranma has lying around should be cleared
up andput out of the way though, even if Ranma merely decides to hide it
forever in a safe place.
The second wish will be dealt with shortly. I've sworn WW and SkyKnight to
secrecy on this one, so don't pester them. Sufficed to say, things happen.
^_^
BTW, I'd also like to address a couple of questions.
[Stuff Deleted]
2) Lemons.
I'm going to try to further tone down the story in response to an
uproar over Ranko and Ranma's dalliances (but I will *NOT* remove any
existing scenes). I do strongly suggest that if someone wants to see a
lemon that they find someone willing to write a side story to mine. I would
readily consent to someone doing so (I just don't have the talent to write
good lemon, at least not yet... ^_- )
The main problem I had with your lemony scenes was that they did not seem
appropriate for the story (given that the story is supposed to be a
serious non-lemon) or the state of the relationships between characters.
As things stand now, it would be fairly easy to work in a Lemon scene for
Ranko, and she could almost trick Ranma into joining... but it still
wouldn't be appropriate from Ranma's viewpoint, he may get dragged along,
but he would never initiate something. You need to work a bit harder on
perverting Ranma :-)
I'll show him my other story then.
SS: "Hey Ranma, look at this one!" Shadow Stalker hands over a copy oy The
Prince and the Lecher.
Ranma: "G'way, man! Geez, It's hard enough dealing with what you've
*already* done to me." Enables Saotome Secret attack.
<slam> Author closing the lid on the character container. "Sorry folks,
almost had my own set of .sig characters. I don't need that..."
*NOTE*
I am also taking suggestions for events that occurred in the other Ranma's
past. Nothing's too zany. Anyone interested should follow the guideline
below:
--> It's been established so far that Ranma prior to the wish was a devout
non-combatant who didn't get along with his sister or (to some extent) his
father. He was a mama's boy who clung to Nodoka shamelessly. Also, he was
an Anime fanatic, and liked to read a lot (hence his title of geek). He was
sexually promiscuous (as we've seen with Kinuko, although he'll find out
later on that she wasn't the only one... ^_^ ), and had a whole different
sort of friends. (Imagining AlterRanma encountering Ryouga for the first
time... heh heh heh ^_^;;
Are you trying to typecast the Mailing list with this?
Nay. I only typecast myself with that description (the label is one I
actually live with. I think the person who called me that was just jealous,
however... ^_^)
The "old" Ranma...
Your description would tend to imply a certain level of selfishness and
the comment by Gosunkugi about using chemicals on Kinuko indicates no
real regard for others feelings (were the other girls "potioned" or did
Ranma legitimately "score" with them?) and a willingness to use others to
reach a desired goal.
OK, lets see... incidents... And Ranko should know about them, as she's
Ranma's only real insight to his "other self", so...
[major snippage on ideas]
Thanks. I've printed this out and am looking it over.
