Hello to all on the FFML,
Another week, another list. School's back in, and though there's no

Title: Falling for an Angel
Series: Ranma 1/2, AMG, Tenchi
Genre: CrossOver / Oneshot / Teaser?

Summary:
The Great War of Heaven crosses the paths of the angel Ranko with that
of a man named Tenchi.
{Paul}
Hmm. You're borrowing name and likeness, but little else, from the
Ranma series. Not that that's a bad thing... I've seen far stranger
melds. The problem, of course, will be defining a female enough
personality for Ranko that she falls, like all outworld women seem
to, for Tenchi's simple kindness. So far, we've only seen her in
battle, and I look forward to other aspects of life. As a stand-
alone, this rates only 11 or 12 out of 20... but it's 8 of 10 as a
promise of things to come.

Summary:
In the year 2035 Priss and her lover were killed. Now in 2036, she
comes back as The Crow to take revenge.
{Helen}
Ooooohhhhh.. This was a great story. It's dark but with just the
right tinge of fear. Like most stories, Priss -does not- end up
happy, but we see a path of reasoning as to why. Although slightly
graphic in terms of violence, it is a 'gripping' sense of terror
that the Jusenkyo Guide imbues into the story.
{Shunsuke}
I have to say I was bugged by the beginning, I personally just can't
stomach the idea of our heroes getting offed like that, but once I
got over the initial revulsion/shock, this seemed to work.... The
concept and development of the plot were good, but things seemed a
little rushed; this could do with being longer, describing events
in more detail (and I don't just mean the bloody scenes O_-).

Summary:
Sylia has an unexpected houseguest, Amanda and Duncan arrive in
MegaToyko, and jason recovers from the night before....
{Shunsuke}
The author mentions at the start that he's been frazzled lately, and
unfortunately, it shows in this chapter. Sometimes there are poorly
chosen words that don't convey the right feel, and I can tell that
this wasn't given as thorough a check as the earlier parts.
As for the story itself, not much happens in this part, it reads
more like an update than a continuation. Things here do follow the
path set before, but there's nothing remarkable in it. Maybe this
should be rewritten and added to the next chapter?

Title: On the Creation of Demon Gods
Series: El Hazard

Size: 21 kb
Summary:
Schtalubaugh finds some disks with some information on them, and asks
Makoto for some help in reading them.
This is the first part of the "Disk" series (of a planned 3
parts). What it is about should be evident from the title.
{Shunsuke}
This one wasn't really 21K, it was two stories reposted in the same
message. I didn't read the second, I'm only reporting on the listed
fic.
The aspects of comparing Ifurita and others like her to genies was
inspired yet familiar to anyone with a D&D background, it seems to
work. The doctor and the plans for ifrits wavers between being a
way of waking Makoto from a stupor and providing him a solution to
his problem, and the way it's presented makes this worthwhile
reading. Some characters are merely mentioned and glossed over, so
this isn't something you can just jump into without knowing about
EH, so that is a bit of a negative point; still, this is good.

Title: Spirit within part 2/ parts 1-4
Series: El Hazard
Genre: Self insertion/X-over
Author: Catbert25
Email: Catbert25@juno.com
Date Sent to FFML:8/25
Summary:
The author is reborn into the same earth as Makoto, Jinnai, Nanami,
and Fujisawa after a long previous life as Ranma Saotome. He grows up
and Trains Makoto in the Anything goes style to prepare him for their
journey into the world of El-Hazard.
{Shunsuke}
I don't know if I buy the idea of the author ending up as Ranma-
becomes-Ryo-becomes-Fatora, but then I've never been big on self
insertions. If you can accept the idea of someone having prior
knowledge and the differences in Makoto's character and abilities,
this plot can appeal to you.
What I can't reconcile is the lack of effort in making this work;
there's so much wrong with the readability that this becomes hard
going. Spelling, quotations, structure, they all need a lot of
work to fix this. I'm not trying to be unkind, but this story
reads like a rough draft.

Summary:
Five fanfic writers win a trip to Japan and get shunted to El
Hazard. Did I mention that only one of them knows anything about El
Hazard? Oh, the fun increases as Murphy's Law starts to go into full
effect!
{Shunsuke}
This is either the dumbest or the most brilliant things I've seen
in a while. Some of the jokes fall flat on their face, but for the
most part this is a long string of ridiculous humour that does not
stop to catch its breath. (At least there weren't any Star Trek
related jokes!)

Summary:
Our "hero", Flashman, learns a little bit more about the changes that
have been done to him and his companion since his arrival in the FFML
base. Also, he meets a new... friend, in the form of Trident.
{Paul}
You know, this is actually very interesting. It's up there with "Ma
Vie Et Roses" for innovativeness in SIs, at least in my book. Very
interesting, actually... the whole chapter seems largely to focus
on the issue of identity. As in... are you who you are, or who you
look to be... or some such like that. I feel like I'm there... only
I don't exactly know where "there" is. Interesting to see where the
other two will link up. 13 or 14 out of 20 overall. Good, solid
writing, definitely worth saving.

Carl Macek, who, with his patented 'Dub-O-Ray' TM, plans to control
the Universe at its NEW Ruler (as opposed to the OLD ruler of the

BUT...
There is a spark of semi-hope for all as the new captain of the
Coaglation Flag Ship "Blade Runner", Michael J. Hodgson steps on board
with his weird crew of hopeless yet fearful (err, that didn't come out
right) anime clones! Watch as the crew dodges bad puns and silly
fanfic conventions such as gratuitous self-insertion and bad lime
content!
[Truncated due to excessive length. -Ed]
{Shunsuke}
The intent here is clearly humour, and maybe would be funny but I
read "Too Many Authors" first, so this doesn't seem as good. (This
is prime for a Gall Force joke or two which might help.) Ehh, it's
probably my mood as I read it, but this didn't work that well, the
humour seemed kind of forced. o_o

Title: The Dragon's Tower - Part 2

Genre: Original - Anime Feel
Author: Andy Skuse
Email: askuse@lonet.ca

Date Sent to FFML: August 29 '98
Size: 9K
Summary:
An original story with an anime feel. Part 2 - Kajagua enters the
tower and finds himself in darkness, but not for long. The magic of
the tower sweeps over him, and he is witness to a daydream-like vision
of a forested world unlike his own, as well as a dragon hunt.
{Paul}
Hmm. I could definitely see this animated. Definitely. A very
interesting story thus far... one wonders at the purpose of the
flashback, if indeed it had a purpose... and our protagonist is as
terrified of the shadows in his own mind as he is of those in the
world without. Though this chapter...really didn't GO anywhere. It
stopped just as I was beginning to get into the story. Though I
suppose a serial such as this must always end with the hero
vanishing into the unknown, this went on too long for a true mini-
installment and too short for a chapter. High marks for execution,
low ones for planning... 11 or 12 of 20, overall.

Size: 68k
Summary:
Chapter 5 of a ongoing series documenting 60 years of Akane Tendo's
life. Lost friends, lost loves, happy times and sad. This chapter
details the Tendo and Saotome families finding out about Ranma and
Akane setting a date for their wedding after catching them in an
compromising position...in the bath. A pajama party with the Tendo
sisters also is featured. Happosai get's his revenge on Ranma. Nabiki
and Mouse have a an all out brawl...sort of. And who was the girl that
Akane caught Ranma making out with in his bedroom? Why was she naked?
Why was Ranma last seen soaring over Furinkan High?
{Paul}
Hmm... again, the peaks of sadness and joy are not so pronounced as
in prior stories. This is a good thing. There are a few parts where
the wording is occasionally a bit awkward, and a few more where the
plot takes a turn for the weird. And I'm STILL trying to work out
exactly what it is about Nabs and Mousse... but, overall, a very
nice continuation, not so insane as its predecessors and definitely
worth a second look. 12 or 13 out of 20.

Summary:
It is a tale of lost love, reborn after a 100 years of waiting. Even
after death, love knows no bounds. It was a time of war and of
desperate struggle, were evil lurked unopposed and valiant souls tried
to consummate their love even in the face of the coming darkness.
Chapter 1 "Braving the storm" - The beginning...
Chapter 2 "Lotus Temple" - Sanctuary...
Chapter 3 "Of different worlds" - The tragic ghost...
Chapter 4 "When the first Petal falls" - And love tested...
{Paul}
First... I'm sorry to point this out, but there were a million and
one grammar snags in the story. Perhaps not QUITE so many, but there
were fragments and unfinished ideas and shifting tenses in almost
every paragraph. Which was a real pity, considering the excellent
effect the prose was intended to carry off. What readers read is
almost as important as what they think, and I can't maintain a nice
cinematic scene if I have to keep puzzling over every third
sentence. It reads like it's been badly translated from some
foreign language... and would probably be apt for MiSTing, if the
'bots could find anything other than grammar riffs to make. That
said...
This is another story which, so far as I can tell, borrows little
more than name and likeness from the original series. It's all
done very confusingly... I can't tell the difference between
flashbacks and dreams and whether either or both are meant to be
meaningful... but that's a limitation imposed by the prose. This
is an excellent idea for a story; well-defined characters,
interesting interpretations of the cast... but it suffers terribly
from writing that is confusing if not incomprehensible. 8 or 9 out
of 20, and all of that from the completely excellent story.

{Paul}
Ladies and gentlemen, a possible rationalization for Nabiki getting

wasn't sure... it was carefully kept secret in vague language and
such. Not OBVIOUSLY secret. Which is a good thing. 9 of 10 on the
short scale... where HAVE you been keeping yourself these past
years, my scrivener friend?

accursed Ranma Saotome.
{Paul}
Ooh, big man with an evil magic sword. Harnum-sempai gave Kuno one
of these in "The Dying of the Light", and I kinda liked how his
ideal of being a blade's master ended up being shot all to heck. A
very nice snapshot of how Kuno might come by such a thing... now
WRITE THE STORY! 9 of 10, handily, perhaps even 10 of 10.

Size: 27 K (about)
Summary:
A normal life for the Saotome Family (Ranma, Akane, their son Kazuya,
their daughter Miko) until someone decides to challenge Ranma...
{Shunsuke}
This has an interesting approach to the future of the various cast
members, and glosses over the time gap fairly well, though not
perfectly. One problem is that the early part of the story makes
it sound like the kids are under 10, but later parts make them sound
older; their actual ages are hard to pin down, so it's tougher to
visualize them.
The lack of explanation about Ranma's curse it handled well, setting
things up for later parts, but...Hoshio? Are you suggesting Ukyou
and Tatewaki get together? What an imagination you have. ^_^

she must deal with the hostility of the Amazon tribe.
{Paul}
See? SEE?! THIS is why Shampoo can't just give up on Ranma!
Sorry... ranting...
But, all things considered, a very nice story. Told well, plotted
well, written well, introducing new characters with names both
Chinese-sounding and bathroom-product related and characterizing
THEM well. Very few complaints on my part, and it WILL be
interesting to see where this goes. 14 or 15 out of 20.

Summary:
Well, there's flashbacks, a couple of introspections, a confrontation,
and Genma falls asleep. That's about it, really. Oh, wait, and vague
references are made, too. What else? Hmm...oh, yeah, and flaming
weasels are mentioned, as well.
{Paul}
Although I think you meant chapter FOUR...
Hmm. This is a nice example of using light comedy to break up a
serious story. This is a nice alternate view of what happened at
Jusenkyo and beyond. The funny parts are funny, the not-so-funny
parts are... well...not... although I'd like to see more of the
True Ranma to find out exactly WHY his sister has this unreasoning
hatred for him. 13 or 14 out of 20.

Summary:
With the ability to switch bodies at will, Nabiki embarks on a
desperate plan to salvage her current financial mess... she's about to
date Kuno, AS Akane. Meanwhile, Akane, as Ranma, and Ranma, as
Nabiki, are becoming suspicious, as are certain Amazons.... How long
can Nabiki stay one step ahead of everyone? Doesn't she feel even a
little guilty? Will there be a happy ending for all involved, or just
for Happosai?
{Paul}
*pfffft* BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That was an ending and a half!
Absolutely manic near the end there, generating the sort of total
chaos found only in the end-of-episode dash through the streets. A
great ending to a great series, leaving just enough open-ended to
be plausible, but not enough to necessarily lead to another endless
sequel. The necessary introspection about Nabiki selling her body
is there, as is a gleefully Machiavellian scheme about the brooch.
Many of the scenes border on perfection, as does the story itself...
18 or 19 out of 20.

Title: Shampoo 1/2 Chapter 34: Those Who Would Dare Dream of Tomorrow I
Series: Ranma 1/2
Genre: Alternate Universe
Author: D.B. Sommer
email: sommer@nb.net
Summary:
It's war between the Nerimans and Perfume and her Hunt Pack. Plus the
return of the ship of fools.
{Paul}
Nice fight scene, is all I can say. Actually plausible how everyone
else is dragged into things... and the resolution, while unexpected,
is certainly not unwarranted. All the scenes on Captain D'Amore's
ship are very nicely written... we're getting to see some fine
character interaction and fleshing out of the whole gang... and I
liked the scene with Aki and Happosai. Not to mention all the hints
and such of the TWPOS's mystical nature. Very good, solid chapter.
18 or 19 out of 20.

Summary:
After a particularly long journey, Ryouga finds himself back in
Nerima, but his worst nightmare has come true. Ranma and Akane have
finalized their wedding plans. To make things worse on the lost boy,
he sees Ranma "take advantage of" two other girls. Ryouga goes through
great lengths to complete his revenge against the pig-tailed boy who
has everything he wants in the world.
{Shunsuke}
Well, this is a long strange trip. It takes a long time to get to
where it's going, but that's okay, the events and descriptions fit.
Many times when people describe revenge plots, they're too rushed to
provide all the necessary details, but not here.
On the technical side, I don't know if the profanity is necessary.
I have nothing against it, but if that's the intended tone, then
it's better to have the language be constant, rather that a bleep
thrown in here and there. Also, this has been spellchecked, but
there's still grammatical problems that interrupt the flow. I did
like the fact that the few J words in here are the well known
ones; nothing slows a story like an author trying to impress the
readers with his knowledge.

Summary:
To celebrate my finally subscribing to the mailing list, a special
chapter of Waters Under Earth. No monsters or magic, just some nice
quiet dinner and conversation.
Well, sorta. There's also a bit of unpleasantness for Kasumi, some
maneuvering by Nabiki, and a little revelation about Tofu. Oh yeah,
and Tarou's in it as well.
This fic officially Gubby (tm) disapproved.
{Paul}
WHY FOR DID YOU MAKE DOCTOR TOFU EVIL?! WHY?! WHYYYYYYYY?! It's
plausible, you pull it off very nicely, and his characterization is
not all that inconsistent from his brief appearances in that
canon...but WHY IS HE EVIL?! I trusted the man... *piku* Oh. Ohhhh.
Heck, with all the betrayed trusts and veneers of respectability in
this story, perhaps I shouldn't be surprised. But still... Dr.
Tofu... *sigh*. Excellent writing, as always. Interesting scene
wherein Tarou reveals that his ordeal on Mount Phoenix has matured
him... if not in so many words. I can't fault the prose, or the
imagery, and try though I might I can't fault the content. 19 or 20
out of 20.
Wait, maybe this is just some evil clone and the real Dr. Tofu's
been imprisoned somewhere and... oh, who am I fooling? But Kasumi
needs someone who can love her as much as she loves the world...

Of course he is. (Transferred, I mean.) I would hardly call this

Hmm...portraying Mihoshi as secretly intelligent? (I was gonna use
that idea! Wah!) This seems a little melodramatic at times, but
it does read like a TM! story, though far more severe in the results
of the violence. Not as good as the first bit, but likable anyway.

Summary:
A third sequel in the Spirit within series. In this installment
the author is merged with Shinji. A now super powerful martial artist,
Shinji takes a much more agressive approach to life, he also has
knowledge of comming events. Unfortunately, as its the basis for this
series, things never turn out the way there supposed to...
Shinji awakes after his mediocre first attempt at piloting an
Eva. He ends up going home with Misato after a confrontation in the
hospital with his father, this is due to the fact that his Jusenkyo curse
was reactivated in the enty plug, turning him into a girl. Misato is
sceptical and is developing a dislike for the boy and his attitude, but
[SNIP]
{Shunsuke}
Part 2 of this made the central chara too much an avatar, but here,
he's just another person, and is much more believeable. Also, by
giving Shinji a big dose of cynicism (even without the other-lives
knowledge), this is an approach I haven't seen done before. But
then again, I'm big on sarcasm; if you don't like sharp tongues,
this may put you off.
There's still that half-finished feeling that permeates this
author's writing which can detract from the story, this one being
the author's best I've seen, in all likelihood. With a revision
to fix some minor problems, this one could be promising.
