<< Act 3 of 'The Pursuit of Happiness' is rolling around, and at this
 point I'd like to take a moment to listen to you, the readers
 that have been following the story so far.>>

Joy!  I can't wait!
 
<< I wanna know what you guys want.
 
 So, here's the questionaire....
 
 1) Act 1 and Act 2 were fairly different in their nature.
    Act 1 was more episodic, with one part not heavily 
    relying on the previous one, while Act 2 revolved
    around the King of Nerima plot.  What style do you
    prefer, the episodic style of act 1, or the unified
    storyline style of act 2?>>

Either one works.  Truthfully, I didn't observe much of a difference
at the time.
 
<< 2) What do you think of / want to see from the following
    characters?  More?  Less?  Are they getting annoying?
    Too much exposure?  Too little?
 
  - Ryo Muhoshin>>

I like him.  I'd agree that he shouldn't be quite as malicious
as he's been at times.

<<  - Ryoko Muhoshin>>

Not too notable, really.  She's a fine character (and I really
like that picture of her on your site), but she doesn't seem
to have that strong a presence.

<<  - Megane Muhoshin>>

I dunno.  I found him kind of an unapealing character.
For some reason he reminds me of Mousse (not just 
the glasses).  Maybe if he had more "screen time."

<<  - Kyoko Muhoshin>>

She's great.  I love how you write her bouts of hyperness.

<<  - Tanya Noori>>

She's fine.  And I disagree with the person who said he didn't
see her sabotaging Ryouga's match.  I thought it fit well.
 
<< 3) What plot elements did you enjoy most?  least?>>
 
I was pleased to see Tarou show up.  It would've been nice to see
him a little more, and frankly, I don't think he'd just leave like that
after taking such a humiliating beating.

<< 4) More humor?  Less?  More drama?  Less?>>
 
It's pretty appropriate right now.  Watching the relationship between
Ryouga and Ukyou is almost as infuriating as waiting for Ranma
and Akane to get together.

<< Thanks for your time, hope I can keep up the writing.>>

I hope so.  Rest assured, I'm looking forward to it.
