Here is more ego stroaking material.

Although I enjoyed Mr. Ward's Aa! Megami-Sensi! story line
very much, I have to agree with the comments below.  While
the story was very well done, I think it would have been a
better series if fewer new characters had been introduced.

Or at least having them introduced in a gradual manner.  Gee, twenty-twenty 
hindsight does people a lot of good now, does it?

In explaination, I must say that when I started this fanfic series, I honestly 
didn't know how long it would end up lasting, so I took the characters, which 
were already developed in another form (same storyline, just quite a bit 
farther ahead in it) and just dumped them in mostly at once.  A big mistake, 
now that I look back on it.

Now that they're out there, all I can do is really switch between two or three 
groups of them as the story progresses and have the rest pop in every now and 
then.


Of course, it does a *heck* of a lot of good to tell you 
that now that the series is completed.

Who told you this?  Like hell it's completed! ^_^  Just because I take some 
time off from my writing to deal with a death in the family doesn't mean I 
stopped entirely...

Thanks to the feedback I did get, I decided a few months back to have it go to 
a good 26 eps at least (not counting side stories).  With nine down and number 
ten in the works, that leaves sixteen plus a few side stories to go.  I'd say 
that it's far from finishing this run, not to mention any potential sequels 
(like when Ranma's class moves up to senior status and ends up with Urd as 
their chemistry teacher for that year...)

But the sequels are a long way off, as you can see ^_^
