This is my first C&C, so please, everybody, forgive my ranting and raving

THIS IS TOO COOL.  Hands down, this is the BEST Ranma 1/2 fanfic I've ever read.  

Shampoo:  The characterization of an older Shampoo is very accurate, though I 
find it wierd that she would find herself in such a dillema about marrying 
Mousse if they've been together for so long.

Ranko:  Pure magic (no pun intended).  She's very much the average 
twentysomething, not knowing what she's looking for in life, just like many in 
my generation.

Ranma & Akane:  A perfect couple, one that after years of problems, deserve a 
happy life together.  I hope they'll get that.

Kuno/Tate & Nabiki:  Another ideal couple; the writer meshed them very well.  
Question, though:  why did Kuno go from "Kuno" or "Tatewaki" to "Tate"?  Is it 
because living in Los Angeles has Americanized him?  Or did he get sick of 
hearing "Kuno-baby" all the time?

The new characters:
Ronnie/Veronica:  A new Shampoo?  What'll happen when Shampoo decides to fight 
back?

Maria:  My favorite.  I think the author has created a character that has 
out-Kasumi'ed Kasumi.  Cooks by trigonometry?  Um, yeah.... :S

Tyler & Gil: Kinda bland.  Work on them.

Paolo:  Kill him off.  Uneeded.

Yuji/Kaguro & Jade:  Assholes.  No doubt.  Great rivals for Shampoo and Mousse.

Plus any fanfic with a modern-day blonde ninja girl named Libby (!) can't be all 
that bad....

Mr. Barba, I commend you.  You've done an outstanding job for your first fic.  
The only complaints I saw were typos, but that's a minor thing.

I want to see your next fanfic.  I want to see what drastic events came out of 
Vietnam, and how it caused the creation of two Ranmas.

PS--Thanks to all that sent me the stories.  I appreciate it.  Very much.
