Phil,

I want to commend you on a great story.  Just a few of my own thoughts that 
I'd like your answer on.

Ranma Inverse, who is cured of her "boy" curse and is wife in all but name 
to Zel.  Did she still change back to a guy?  I didn't think so, based on 
Ranma's wish and its unexpected results, but when Akane brings the original 
Ranma back (16 years after his original submersion), he has his curse again.

Does Ranma Inverse have the curse of turning intro a guy when hot water is 
poured on her now?

There are two characters that I feel sorry for, Amelia and the original 
Ranma.  Amelia because you wrote it that way.  I feel sorry for the original 
Ranma because I assume that he is physically 16/17 again has the memories of 
growing up male but also has memories of 16 years living fully as a woman.  
Talk about having identity problems.  Not only does he have a gender issue, 
he also is going to be much more mature than any of his peers.  He'll be 
more able and likely to get along with Cologne, Nodoka, Soun and other 
adults who have raised children than the teenagers he's surrounded with.

Thanks for an interesting and fun story,

Mike Allen
