HI,
OK. I'm not familiar with Spell R US. :(
Still there is a LOT going on in a very short 
period of time. Very confusing. I still think 
it might be better to spread things out, add more 
detail. ^_^

HI,
Interesting idea. As always  comments are IMO.
1) the presentation is a bit awkward. I LIKE the introduction. VERY
NICE opening scene. Interesting idea with the cards but the bit with
english seems forced. It would not be impossible to have Akane/neko
dip her paw in ink and write Kanji/katakana//hiragana
2) Too much too fast. We have a two curses, one specific to Akane one
Universal (the entire Ranmaverse has changed) Nabiki is Ranma's
fiance, an Amazon, a manga writer . . .huff huff huff <exhausted
reader> ^_^


Allmost All SRU transformations have a universal component so that
the final
change is seen
by everyone else as the way things always were. It's like the final
tranformation spell has a temporal
part that backflows into time rewritting the past. This is likely so
because
SRU Transformations are
usually seen as punishment for bad behavior and by rewritting the
past, the
victim is cut off from any
potentional sympathy.

At least that's my view of the SRU universes based on what I've read.
