This is good for a "very alpha" version.
Righto! Since Kun-chan has gone AWOL and I helped her write it (a little),
I'll field this one...
As for it being an "Alpha". I edited it seven times before anyone else
saw it!
Only one thing really bothers me. I just don't believe Ranma could kill
Cologne in cold blood. Yes, he's mad about his daughter, but he has her
beaten and bloodied in front of him. I just don't think he'd turn into
a murderer, no matter what the provocation. My personal opinion, of
course.
He doesn't kill her! He just blows the tar ourt of her. I wrote that
fight and I wanted Ranma to kill her. I think any father would want to
kill somone who harms his children (or any mother for that matter). As the
ending was written before the fight, it was difficult to intergrate it
properly and it may be a little confusing.
Very little lemon here. Quite a change of pace from the "lemon-fest" of
Part 6. :)
I was as amazed as you! Considering I usually have to wear a trench coat
to edit her fics, this was a nice change. (I am NOT a lemon fan.)
Where do you go from here? It seems all you've got left is the boring
descriptions of families being raised. Unless you're planning on doing
a "Ranma/Cosby" crossover. :)
Don't even mention this to Kun-chan! She might do it!
I must say, I think your writing has improved tremendously. This is a
much better written piece than your earlier fics, especially the first
couple. Keep it up!
Oi! I edited them, too!
And please do write more!!
I'm sure she's got more in the pipeline. At the moment we're working on a
prequal to the series that will explain (sort of), how Ranma and Akane got
into a position to be married.
I hope to call it "Ranma nibun no ichi Alpha" (This is a Streetfighter joke)
:)
