Well, I'm about ready to post the current ch. 3 of this thing to RAAC
(there are subtle but important changes from the FFML version) but,
considering both the minimal C&C I've received and Doug Murphy's assertion
that it's too soon to leave Ranma and co. to go racing off to the introduction
of the BGC universe I'm curious to know before I send it whether those who
have read everything (the three preludes and *all three* chapters) agree with
him; i.e. whether I should hold off the BGC intro (which comes to over 400K
compared to about 102K for everything up to its beginning) and continue with
the initial story for one more chapter (I can't extend it beyond this - plot
elements developed in the BGC intro are needed before I go too much further)
or whether I should leave things as they are, post this ch. 3 and go on to
other introductions (the SM alternatives, P: A-ko, DHY and AMG) before
returning to the Ranmaverse.  For myself I prefer this alternative, but I'm
intimately acquainted with what's going on and it may be different for the
reader.  If I receive no significant complaints I'll be posting the RAAC
version of ch. 3 before the end of the month.  Otherwise it will depend on how
soon I finish the continuation of the first plot that will become the new ch.
3.
	Please reply directly to me rather than to the list.

Thanks,
