Hrm, is it just me, or is this fic filled with a LOT of antagonism between
all the characters? Between Akane's temper and Ranma's putting his foot in
his mouth, the two of them just plain don't get along. Ranma and Nabiki
are mortal enemies now. Soun does nothing besides lusting after
Ranma-onna. Genma doesn't help at all. Kasumi is manipulated by Nabiki to
keep Ranma in female form, although without her knowledge....What I'm
trying to say is, perhaps it is time to tone down on the antagonism, which
seems to be dominating your fanfic at this point.

So, how long before Ranma decides to elope with Shampoo? :) (With all the
crap that's going on in the Tendo Dojo and Furinkan High, I wouldn't be in
the least bit surprised if Ranma did that. :) Ranma's life has basically
been made a living hell already by Nabiki and other cirucmstances in his
first week at the Tendo Dojo; I wouldn't be surprised if he can't put up
with this much longer.

Ryouga seems to have got it bad for Ranma-onna...^_^ wonder what he's
going to do next, especially after people think he's Ranma's boyfriend.

Have you decided which interpretation of the Amazon Laws to go with? The
strictly canon one where an amazon must kill a female outsider that
defeats her, or the fanfic convention one where the amazon can choose
whether to kill or marry the female outsider? It would be interesting if
the latter was the case, and Shampoo felt really attracted to
Ranma-onna...maybe she got frightened by Shampoo's advances towards her
and fled back to Japan (with Shampoo chasing her all of the way)...

Or how about Ukyou, when she is introduced? I say its very possible that
she'll be attracted to Ranma's female form as well; presumably when she
was living as a boy she dated other girls, perhaps felt attracted to them
at least a bit but was afraid/unwilling to go any further since she was
actually a girl. With Ranma she won't have that problem, since she knows
he's really a guy.
