Ooh! Ooh! It's been my life-long dream to have someone do
one of these to my fics! Thank you!
I'm probably going to put it up on the FFC page, if Sebastian doesn't
mind... Sebastian? :)
Of course I don't mind!
BTW, if anyone else has "fun" fanfic critiques that they'd like to see go
up on the page, let me know...
Oooh! Mike W. Loader's C&C of _Aftermath_ with Windir and Frito being
kidnapped. :)
Here I have to disagree with you, Sebastian. Anyone who's made it
as far as their junior year in high school will know that a circle
has 360 degrees. I also think it's highly applicable to martial
arts (notice that I said "I think"; not being a practioner, I don't
know for sure). So having Ranma know about arcs and degrees isn't
too much out of character, IMO.
I'd have to agree with Sebastian. Ranma might *know* about a circle being
360 degrees, but he's more likely to *use* terms like "third of a
circle," i.e. "You've each gotta cover a third of the circle, about the
area you can see lookin' straight ahead. Don't go for an enemy outside
your part of the circle, you're just gonna leave yourself open somewhere
else."
That's *exactly* what I meant. In the course of a maths test he might
remember, but I can't imagine him using that knowledge in a tense
situation like this.
