Well, didn't find any glaring grammer errors...  ^_^

Pretty good.  I was a little dissapointed in the fact that the 'changed'
Kuno isn't really seen, since you gloss over his Amazon training days, and
most flashback space is devoted to baka-Kuno.  However, since this *is* a
prelude, and not the main fic, I'm guessing that you'll fit Kuno's
development into new-Kuno in the main story somehow (flashback, old Amazon
crone telling a tale, whatever). 

In any case, I feel that it'd be a mistake to 'drop' new-Kuno on everyone
without explination. 

I liked how you merged the flashbacks into the fic, helping to reinforce
the story, instead of blatantly writing ***FLASHBACK!!!!!(WARNING!!!)***
and disrupting the reader's train of thought.  I really wish that more
people would do that.

Could I PLEASE get some more feedback on this from someone? I know it's
a revision, but it's been changed fairly extensively, and I really need
to know how well it works before it gets sent off to RAAC.

I normally write C&C when I've the time, but I figure that the 'big names'
on the FFML usually get tons of C&C, so I try to devote most of my
critique to those who wouldn't normally get as much notice.  I'll do the
rest of the preludes as well, if you want.

The sardines weren't worth the trouble.  A few more shots, then 
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode.  Ducking around a corner, 
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of 
my Anime supplier.

One look at his face and I knew that I was betrayed.  "Tell me."
I insisted.  He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance.  Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao." he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the 
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
