I like it! :) That bar scene with Ranma-chan drunk was great. But who is 
this Sutemasu Zentai guy, a character that you created? BTW the correct 
attack words for Ryouga's breaking point are "Bakusai Tenketsu". Also 
your spelling, grammar, and formatting needs some work. Your lines were 
too long and got wrapped, and it will probably look better if you put a 
blank line between every paragraph.

You know...with a little (ok, not so little:) modification to the plot, 
you could turn this into a fic where all three of Ranma's major fiancees 
(Akane, Ukyou, Shampoo) gets someone good. IMHO Mousse is not good for 
Shampoo (he's a blind idiot, can't fight very well and doesn't respect 
Shampoo's personal space; he keeps glomping onto her etc. when she has 
made it clear she doesn't want him to).

The female version of Ranma could take on the name of Ranko. I don't 
believe that either Ranma or Ranko should be paired up with Akane; just 
look at the way Akane treats Ranma. She beats him with her mallet all the 
time (many times for no good reason), follows him around just to see what 
he's doing (and then beats him for it if she sees something she doesn't 
like), and forces him to eat her culinary abominations.

Akane could be paired up with Ryouga though. He's one of the boys around
her age she doesn't hate (one of the few, considering all the boys that
used to attack her every morning at Furinkan High). Ryouga has fallen in 
love with Akane, and understands her well (thanks to all the things Akane 
has told to him as P-chan). If Akane doesn't mind the fact that he's been 
sleeping in her bed all along as P-chan, perhaps a relationship could 
develop between Ryouga and Akane, especially if Ranma picks another one 
of his fiancees.

That leaves Ranma/Ranko and Ukyou/Shampoo. Shampoo seems to prefer the 
male half of Ranma (its apparent from the anime and movies), and the laws 
of her Amazon tribe specifically state that a _male_ outsider that 
defeats an Amazon must marry her; not a female outsider (who must be 
killed). Shampoo is a very valid fiancee for Ranma; she has good cooking 
skills, is a good martial artist, and most importantly, she is totally 
devoted to him and loves him very much. Cologne could also be a plus too; 
she knows many powerful martial arts techniques and magics that she could 
pass onto Ranma. Then again, Ranma would have to put up with Cologne and 
Mousse and Cologne would probably have him move to Joketsuzoku if he 
married Shampoo.

Ukyou on the other hand seems to love Ranma for who he is inside, and not 
so much whether he is male or female. She has great cooking skills, is 
totally devoted to him and loves him very much (she set up a shop in 
Nerima just so she could live there and be near Ranma), and is the cutest 
of all his fiancees (IMHO). Ukyou and Ranko would make a great couple.

And what of the promise Genma made to Soun a long time ago, so that their
two families could be united? Screw it. Akane's not good for Ranma, and
neither is Nabiki (she would just want him for his financial value) or 
Kasumi (she prefers older men, like Dr. Tofu).

Heh I've been ranting here for 10 mins now :) So hows about it? Someone 
want to write a fic where Ryouga gets Akane, Shampoo gets Ranma, and 
Ranko gets Ukyou? :)

What happened to that Nullifier spinoff fic anyway? Not the original one; 
the one where Cologne told Ranko she'd have to be close to someone or 
else she'd cease to exist, so Ranko seduced Ukyou? Is the author 
planning on writing any more parts? :)
