Actual C&C to a simple fanfic?  Domo arigato gozaimasu!  ^_^

The C&C has to start somewhere... might as well be with me.


least, but when he'd got here, Wanderius had turned out to be
Ryoga.

Wanderius? <chuckle> ok.

I didn't want to call him Morpheus, so this was the best I could come up
with.  ^_^

I have no problem with it. Just snickering.


-----------------
<SNIP>
   "It's not a cure," Ryoga said, as Ranma snatched up the pill.  "At
least, not directly.  Nor is it a trick.  Remember, all I can offer you is
the truth."
<SNIP>
-----------------

Better????  ^_^

That's exactly what I had in mind. 


Here's the thing, would Ranma not have a curse in the real world?

If a fictional character could escape into the real world -- especially an
animated one -- how much would they change or remain the same?  Forget
whether Ranma has a curse or not for the moment... how large are his/her
eyes???

It's best if you don't think about these things too hard.  ^_^

Thinking hurts... ow ow ow.

But still... keeping with the concept of the matrix, super powers and
curses shouldn't be in effect in the real world.


Another characterization I overlooked, mostly on purpose...  probably
shouldn't have had Kasumi there, but I figured Tofu would want to free her
first thing.  ^_^

Actually, considering how calm and serene Kasumi is, I would expect that
she was the second one out, knowing how fake things really were.


Yeah... especially Gary trying to turn Ukyou into a dog. ^_~

Ah, I probably should have had Ukyo say something about her characterization
in various fanfics....  ^_~

You probably did a good thing by not bothering. There are enough character
debates and debates about character bashing going around as it is.


Hope you write more stuff... it was a fun ride.
I'm always writing!  Glad you liked it!  And thanks for the C&C
My pleasure.

See ya
