[Re: HaM Prelude 7]

 Mousse and...I can't even say her name!  Are you mad, man!? ^_^

Hey, I think they're a good couple! So there! :-P

  This doesn't delve as deeply into Mousse's intervening years as 
  earlier parts did for the others, and it's not as strong as other
  chapters, but it does have an emotional strong point.  I also liked
  the misdirection when it came to Ryoko's intentions.  ("Jacques!
  Jacques!" she said as she held the gold coloured safe. ^_^)

Heh. Glad you enjoyed it. As for which is the strongest prelude, the
last one is the reader favorite according to the poll running on my web
site.

[Re: HaM Prelude 8]

  And if Hikaru were a law student, he'd be applying to the firm of
  Dewey, Cheadum, and Howe, right Mr. Kleppe?  Ye gods, your humour 
  is getting worse...(those employer's names!).

Heh. I don't expect most people to get that stuff... just a little
in-joke for the Japanese speakers, or anyone who bothers to look it up.

  So for once, two wrongs do make a right, and someone who thinks 
  he's doing something evil ends up doing something helpful, and I'm 
  not talking about Hikaru....

Happy, then. Not that he hasn't done the same thing before....

  This is probably one of the better ones so far, with some neat 
  twists in the plot.  But did Asuka never meet the female Ranma in 
  the TV or manga series?  I haven't seen any episodes with her.

Asuka never met the female Ranma in the manga story; that was one of
those rare chapters where Ranma stayed male all the way through. I don't
think she ever appeared in the anime, and even if she did, it's not
canon for HaM anyway.

  Anyway, lots of fun here.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
