...I was going to MST this, but...what would be the point?

So, I'll offer a few comments, attempting to be constructive, instead...


1. If you're going to write Ranma fanfics, Ratliff, learn to spell SAOTOME
correctly. Also learn that the series is set in Nerima, which is in Tokyo,
which is in JAPAN, so you DON'T HAVE SCHOOLS NAMED MACARTHUR. If you're
basing your knowledge of typical Japanese school names off the dub of
Sailormoon, you need to get on the web and do some actual research, because
the name 'Crossroads Junior High' is one of the many things DIC screwed up
on, and is hardly typical for a Japanese school name.

2. For gods' sake, man, proofread! You've been to college, vato! It can't
be THAT DAMNED HARD to remember your sixth-grade English classes, your
spelling lessons, and so forth...there's no excuse for the number of
grammatical and spelling errors present in your writing.

3. Admittedly, plotwise and character-wise, this isn't so bad. It's not so
good either...didn't really grab me from the start, which any good
fanfiction *should* do...but I've definitely seen worse.

4. If Marrissa shows up in any shape or form, I will hunt you down and
barbecue you.

(That, or write a Marrissa vs. DJ celebrity death match fic...)
