  Holy Cheez Whiz!

   I'm... quite surprised ("stunned" is more the word) at the number of
comments I've gotten in a single day.  I had simply *no* idea this many
people were reading my story with any degree of interest (you have to
understand, this is only the second story I've ever written and it's the
first about Ranma and/or Sailor Moon).

   I'll just have to remember to be more careful next time I ask for advice
on the FFML; I received comments from over 40 different people in a single
day, some from people whom I consider to be master fanfic writers.  I
appreciate every comment I've received, good or bad.

   Based on the comments I think I can safely say that I tricked around 7
out of 10 people into thinking Akane would be the Senshi.  I'm at least
proud of having been successfully able to misdirect so many people for so
long.  The first clue was that Kanma liked pounding things with his hammer.

   Some people have been wondering about my writing style and why I take so
long to write such short segments...  If it can clear up any questions, I
write that way because I'm a French-speaking Quebecer from Canada and
English is a second language to me.  I also go to the university full-time,
have a part-time job and I take part in several extra-curricular
activities, so my writing will probably slow down a lot.

   Live with it.  I'm just not one of those people who have the talent to
crank up a 20-30 Kb of text in a few hours whenever they feel like it.

   The decision is this: I will continue to write the fanfic the way I
planned it.  Some of the suggestions I was sent fall pretty close to what I
had originally planned.  Some even hit dead on the mark.  Time will tell
who was right and who wasn't..

   Again, thank you for all the comments.  It's nice to know this many
people care
