Jack,
I'm among those who was a powerfully strong negative reaction to your
stories. Not necessarily because the story is poorly written (in fact,
it's got better prose than a lot of other stuff that comes out).
How to say this. We are not interested in how Jack suddenly acquires
the martial arts prowess to challenge Ranma et. al. Why should we? Why
should we care about Jack?
We could care even less about Jack making love to Shampoo. In fact,
that offends me a little. It's fine as a private fantasy - heck, I've
always had a thing for Nabiki myself - but to publicly display the
fantasy turns people off *in a hurry*. We like the Shampoo that's madly
in love with Ranma and will do anything to get him. We could care less
about the Shampoo that suddenly falls for Jack.
I agree with you totally, i think its kinda sick.... and I don't like
stories with the authors being in it, I really didn't like the Crys Saga,
it really bored me after the first story, but thats my own opinion.
