Description:  A religious group wants to kill Nerv people for opposing
the will of God, and Rei is steadily humanising.

Comments:  This is a charming love story with a modicum of bloodshed.
But what makes it "Dark"?

Description:  Mousse/Daredevil captures an incompetent supervillain, and
Ranma/Captain Japan/Bucky arrives at the Tendo household.

Comments:  Needs a bit more filler.  Some looks at the other's solo careers
would balance out this chapter better.  As it stands, it's more like two
short chapters pasted together.  Since when is "mature" a compliment for
an adult woman, particularly from a younger man?  Ranma should maybe mix up which 
daughter's value which qualities, complimenting Akane on her maturity, Nabiki on her 
womanliness and Kasumi on her strength...of will.  Frankly, I think they'd find that 
more flattering, since every teen-age younger sister wants to be thought mature, 
Nabiki probably would like a man who doesn't see her as a jock/ice queen and 
Kasumi would appreciate having her authority as lady of the house respected.
Besides, those were the people who actually gave him those compliments.

Description:  Alternate Tenchi continuity in which Nobiyuki and
Achika break up and Nobiyuki gets to wake up Ryoko instead.

Comments:  One of the interesting things about this story (which is
part of a larger multi-crossover, is that since it puts the teen-age
Nobiyuki and Achika into the present day, that shoves the time travelling
Tenchi and company well into the 21st century.  Of course the new 
continuity has probably erased Tenchi's existence.  Oops.  Them's
the breaks when you're time travelling.

Description:  Alternate Nuku-Nuku continuity where Ryuunoske takes the bullet
for the cat.  (Y'know, maybe they could have saved that cat just by taking
her to a vet.)

Comments:  While I can easily imagine Mihoshi going along with this nonsense,
I sort of balk at Kiyone substituting for Arisa.  Why would she have such an
emotional attachment to Mishima and her employer?  Why did Kyusaku start to
call his son Ryu-san, or was it Ryu-sama?

Description:  Maison Ikkoku alternate where Soichiro lives, and Kyoko found out
that life with him was less than ideal.  Now Godai has to be love with an
older _married_ woman.  (But at least she's separated.)

Comments:  Misato (from Evangelion) makes a superb substitute for Akemi.  
Soichiro's parents must be uncommonly understanding since it's their building
she's running after walking out on their son.

Description:  Alternate Evangelion continuity where Yui lived and
Gendo is a lot more relaxed.  

Comments:  Fundamentally the central element of this crossover.  
The characterisation scene between Ritsuko and her mother is downright 
brilliant, but I'm tired of commenting on SOAP, so I'll move on.

Description:  A heavily Ranma-influenced tale of the Old West.

Comments:  As time goes by, this series gets more and more like it's inspiration.

Description:  Alternate reality where Ranma must juggle control over separate
male and female bodies.

Comments:  Interesting the way the author has reconciled the fanfic
Nabiki who doesn't tell people anything for nothing with the her actions in
informing Kuno about the engagement, apparently for nothing.  

He tugged on Daisuke's sleeve, trying to diffuse the situation
before something permanent happened.

"defuse"

Comments:

eyes below the bandanna. Ahhh... "You're lost." It was not a
question, and, given who it was being spoken to, shouldn't really
be in doubt most times.

"have been in doubt" and there was no need to direct that comment
to the audience.  We already know the gag.

Description:  I have very little idea what is going on here having
joined in mid-stream.  

Comments:  Line length is a little too long for e-mail, making it difficult
to read.

Silence followed as Alex did not deem to answer that observation. She turned instead to 
look about the medical

"deign"

Description:  No HCP leaves the Evangelions as U.N. weapons in an increasingly
politically united but not terribly different world.

Comments:  Surely there must be some applications for this biotechnology
apart from those armour plated slabs of meat.

Description:  Ranma's unknown sister shows up.

Comments:  Well, you've introduced the character.  The trick is, what do
you actually do with her?
