   PASSION SPICE-BIG TROUBLE!
   by Christian Gadeken
   *Grammar: 7
   *Story: 7 This story, I believe was the starting block of all those passion
   spice fanfictions.
   *Characters: 8 Talk about IC, only problem is Shampoo spoke normal on some
   parts it seemed.
   *Humor: 6
   *Overall: 8 I liked this story a lot. A very refreshing fresh air from
   today's fanfics. I actually thought the ending was the best! Very Takahashi
   like.

This is indeed the first Passion Spice story, and remains one of my
very favorites, and perhaps the best "original flavor" story.  The
ending is *perfect*.

   RANMA 1/2  VERSION 3.1
   by Christian Gadeken

   [...]

   *Overall: 7 The least best of what Gadeken did from his four fics he ever
   wrote. Well, five if you believe he wrote Okonmiyaki Orgy also. The problem
   is that that the characters seemed to be OOC when they shouldn't be OOC.

I doubt he wrote Okonmiyaki Orgy, the prose storytelling, etc. in it
just isn't good enough.

When you say only four fics, are you including the SM fic he started
(just before he quit writing)?

This one starts out with the bad guys winning---in a parallel
universe.  The prose in that part was some of the most chilling and
evocative I've ever read.

This man needs a Taskmaster....
