Description:  Utena gets seriously weirded out by Anthy.

Comments:  [BRPT] [YASTA] This initially aimless fic is starting to 
look as though it might be developing into more than just a look at 
Utena's surroundings.  What that might be, I have no idea.

Description:  Ranma reality is retconned so that Ranma and Ryoga
are attending a middle school with Akane and Kodachi at the age
of 14 or so.

Comments:  The author apparently has a bad reputation based on
stuff he wrote something like half a lifetime ago.  Really though,
this series doesn't look terrible.  It seems a little dull with all
the characters psychoses toned down and the plot has yet to rear its
head.

On the technical end, "dessert" is not spelled "desert", and
"This was not a good question to hear in his experience"
could be better phrased as "In his experience, that was not
a good question to hear."

Description:  Hikaru begins to accept her new identity and reality.
But was Magic Knight Rayearth really all a dream?  

Comments:  The pacing is all wrong if in fact Hikaru's Magic Knight
memories are totally imaginary, but there is a hint in this chapter
that this is not the case.  I hope it isn't, because if it is, the
fic would be better ended at the moment she finally accepts reality.

Description:  Nuku-Nuku with Ranma names in the parts.  

Comments:  So far the only significant difference from Nuku-Nuko is that 
the boy is 16, but there is some kind of vague reference to Jyusenkyo
which doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense.  A little too close at the 
moment, I think.  Carve out some new territory.

On the technical side, this fic needs to be reformatted to fit the limitations
of e-mail.  It's readable, but ugly.  The author also needs to go back and
check to make sure his sentences have both verbs and nouns.  Lastly, the
author should stop capitalising "he said" and "she yelled" at the end of 
dialogue quotes.  They do not start a new sentence.

Description:  Botched cure causes Ranma to arrive in two bodies with only one
soul.  

Comments:  Very good, actually.  Interesting variant, doesn't dawdle.

On the technical side, the logic of how the author inserts blank lines 
escapes me.  Also in the second part I noticed:

    "Watch where you're going Pig-boy!" Ranma whispered harshly,
swatting him on the back of the head.
    "Don't stop suddenly Ranma!" Ryouga whispered back, punching
him in the gut.

There should be commas before "Pig-Boy" and "Ranma".

Description:  Hover-bike racer named Ranma joins the Tendo team while
angsting about his deceased sister, Ranko.  

Comments:  Not badly written at all, but where is it going?

Description:  Now that Kodachi is a goddess, the Nerimans decide to replay
that great issue of the Avengers where 50 superheros get fried by Korvac.

Comments:  Good way to finish it, really.  The project as a whole is a
dog's breakfast made up of mostly good, but frequently incompatible parts,
but it was fun to watch Ko-sama kick butt.  Somehow I feel Ukyo really got 
short-changed in this whole business, though.
