well, with Parts 1-12 done, that's the end of act 1.
With any luck, this will end in 5 acts.

I am HOPING the other acts won't be as big as
act 1, which by itself is already bigger than
all of The More Things Change (gah)..

As for future acts... it's LOOKING to be
like this

act2 - The King of Nerima  (the fighting tournamnet)
act3 - Things fall apart
act4 - Things to do in China while you're Dead
act5 - Return

I am praying it goes no further than 5 acts.
It took too long to finish just one.

What do you folks wanna see?  just curious.
Should I have more Ranma?  Resolve the
Nodoka mess?  Hurry up the Ukyou/Ryouga
relationship?  Slow it down even slower?
Merely curious.

A VERY BIG thanks to Mihoshi@ffml.  Dunno
if she's still subscribed to the list, but if
it weren't for her advice and suggestions
almost a year ago, TPOH would have _never_
gotten off the ground.

Oh yeah, the character of Tanya Noori belongs
to her.  I VERY much enjoy writing her scenes,
moreso than Ryo Muhoshin's.  What can I say?
She's fun, very fun, and more Ryouga-esque
than Ryo.

Thanks to Mike Loader for giving me even more ideas
to fly with and also helping me out of one or two
mindblocks.

Thanks to my prereaders, you guys know who you are,
especially Elizabeth Christian, Andrew Huang, and
Sean Gaffney, and the Converging Series Crew
(if you don't know who they are, shame on ya.)

anyways, thanks for reading.
