6.  Tales of Ranma and Nabiki #9

You know, it's odd that I have such a fondness for this one.
After all, Mr. the Rutsch is known for his...ODD fanfics, and
this is perhaps the least odd of all of them.  But it tasks
me, dammit.

Well...I've gotten enough private requests about the status of this 
series to post the status publicly.  This mail seems like a good excuse...

I kind of sidelined this series until summer (which begins in a week or 
two for me), as I can only write it by crashing, which I really don't 
want to do/can't do during the school year.

The next chapter might not be available for a while.  This is because 
I'm afraid I'll completely re-write whatever I post, so I don't want to 
post anything until I have a pretty clear picture of what's up wit' the 
rest of the series...probably to the point where I have final outlines 
and maybe sketches of all the future chapters.  I know, I know...posting 
rough drafts that might be heavily revised is what the list is for.  
However, this ML has turned into my primary means of distribution now 
that RAAC is pretty much dead.  My bad, but I give a bit of mental 
finality to anything I post to the list.  I want more flexibility to go 
back and do heavy surgery.

BTW, many thanks to the people who have asked!  It's nice to know that the 
series has a following.  Even if I do have the habit of following 
cliffhangers up with 2-month delays ^_^.
