The idea here is an interesting one... though, to be fair, a lot of
other characters in the series seem to go out of their way to get hit
too. (Come to think of it, it WOULD explain a lot about Kuno-chan....
:-))

Umm...  well...  While I *do* think this is a bit funny (just a bit), I
think that would be pushing the envelope just a tad.  But you realize
this, I know.

Anyway, the problem with this, IMO, is that it seems to rush through

the

story. I think you got to the punchline too quickly, and missed a lot

of

good potential dramatic scenes that could've been there. It's good, but
it has potential to be better.

Agreed, a bit rushed.  Kinda meant to be a stinger, isn't it Dot?  But
"punchline" Gary?  Err...  don't think I'd use that word.  Anyway.  (C&C
on C&C?  Huh?)

Despite the fact that I personally believe the entire thought of Ranma's
self-mutiliation being far-fetched, my only real problem with this fic
is Cologne's reaction.  Again, I personally don't think that she'd be
quite that cruel.  And Ukyou being uncomfortable?  I would think she'd
be one of the few to go up to Ranma in this situation.

If you could expand on this entire work, as Gary has suggested, this has
the potential to be a truly interesting read.
