Hi Jed,

Thanks for the comments.  I have been working on improving my writing
style, so I'm glad that it is finally starting to show.  Things are slowly
coming together.  There was just a lot of groundwork that I kept feeling
like I had to lay.  I am considering re-writing my earlier chapters.  There
were a few things that I should have done, but since it was my first fic I
didn't learn them after I had released them. :)

Are there any scenes or backstory that anyone would like to see more of
when I get around to re-writing earlier chapters?

This one seemed less fragmented than the last two, a marked improvement.
As I said, better as everyone shows up and is involved more or less at once.

Yeah, the cast is slowly coming together, along with a few added extras
from other series.  I still have a few people who will be getting
introduced, and the story is going to get more interesting (at least, I
hope it does).  My chapters are slowly getting longer and longer.  I still
keep feeling like I am skipping over stuff, so I may have to let the
chapters grow longer again. :)

And _how_ many potential fiancees does Ranma have right now?
Let's see...  There's Kodachi, Akane, Shampoo, Ukyou, Chun-li, and Nabiki.
A nice, even half-dozen.  Ouch!  (Did I miss anyone?)

Well, Mina has been starting to show an interest in Ranma, but she is not
what you could call fiancee material.  Consider her the token evil,
psychotic female in the cast. :)

There is also one more mystery female that is waiting in the wings to
appear.  She is part of the Master's entourage and will be getting
introduced in a chapter that I am tentatively calling "Yin and Yang".  She
is the Heir to the Anything-Goes School of Martial Arts on this version of
Earth.

That will finish off the female cast that is interested in Ranma in
particular.  There will be others from different animes, but they will not
be as central to the cast.  Some more from the Ranma cast still need to
show up, and they will be looking a little changed.

And I can't wait for Herb to finally show up with his bucket of happiness.
Ranma just isn't quite Ranma without weird shapeshifters. :)

Heh.  Ranma considers himself lucky that he managed to become a martial
artist without suffering a Jusenkyo curse.  A lot of the curses will be
springing up.  I'm not going to spoil any surprises by saying who gets
what, if any, curse. :)

Don't forget that JuGen Corporation is out there in Tokyo.  Who knows what
water they could have stored away in their vats? :)
