Description: Nabiki proves, once again, that she is an
irresistable gaijin magnet.
Comments: There's a fair bit of Mary Sue about this story
but it's mechanically sound. I liked the depiction of
Tofu at work, but I have doubts about the depiction of
Nodoka. I mean, c'mon, if the old man's training techniques
didn't break or embitter Ranma, what could Nodoka do?
Also, Kasumi, being a traditional sort, would not likely
approve of or encourage Nabiki's interest in a foreigner.
Soun would plotz.

Comments: The spell checker is not your friend...
Ranma ACTED like he wanted to keep everyone
there safe and alive, but when help arrived, he did
noting. It wasn't right, and it was his chance to
show Ranma for the fake that he was.
"nothing"
"Pulling their efforts, Ranma."
"pooling"
"He means that they are planing," Ranma
offered, looking from Natsu to Tofu. "Right?"
"planning"
Rembrant frowned in disgust. "Are all of you
soldier-types always so vial?"
"vile"
The problem with zombies conveniently returning to normal
in my view is that they've been pretty ripped up as a
prelude to becoming a zombie haven't they? But of course
if it's good enough for Ghost Hunter Mikami, it's good
enough for Ranma.

Comments: Kasumi's attitude toward Nodoka is internally
contradictory. That isn't necessarily a problem, but
Kasumi should be a little more aware of the conflict between
"No mother would do it" and "Honour demanded it".

Description: Various Ranma 1/2 martial artists out of
ego or lovesickness decide that they have to help the
Senshi.
Comments: Some sloppiness produced by haste and lack of
pre-reading.
Minako was about to continue, but subsided when she caught sight of
the expression on Michiru's face. "We don't no that she had anything al
all to do with the Silver Millennium," Ami commented calmly.
"know" "at". And may I take this moment to sincerely hope
that they don't turn out to be reincarnations. There's no
reason why our era can't turn out some tough customers.
Also that should probably be the look on Haruka's face,
since it's Haruka feeling the pangs of jealousy, isn't it?
"As I recall, each of the Senshi headed a group of elite warriors
that aided them in their duties." After she finished, Luna smiled
smugly, happy show Artemis up.
"to show" And how did that show Artemis up?
"Right. Plus, there was a dojo near the last attack. It's the
article beside the add that's the real proof though."
"ad"
And that crack about martial artists not spending their
time doing tea ceremony or eating was funny.
You know if Argentite just reasons with Taro, he could
be a real asset. He has toyed with the thought of taking
over the world after all, and it would be his chance to
rename himself after a mineral.

Ash decides to limit his array of pokemon.
Comments: I'd think that Misty's wish ability would limit
the amount of real danger they are in. So when is Misty
going to win a fight by having Ash wish for a large anvil
above her opponent's head?
Bill, wincing, said, "Professor, don't you think that show is in bad
tatse?"
"taste"
Under the waves, Team Rocket's sub was being rocked by the storm as well.
Uh...no. A surface storm doesn't endanger submerged subs.
Ash shrugged, as he was a bit startled to her anything coming from
Charizard. He hoped that the time out of the ball would make Charizard more
"hear"
It appears that Misty is no longer worried about the idea
of evolving into an efreet. When will she start saying
"Gee-ni-ee"?

Comments: Actually mammalian herbivores and carnivores

crayfish.
"I, ah, I didn't mean you," Tenchi said as lamely as possible.
The tone of his lie made Mihoshi look at him curiously. "Are you hearing

"Oops," Mihoshi said as she realized what she had done. She handed the

Description: A clone of Ranma's female form wakes up in
a dark future.
Comments: While Ranma's breasts are substantial, at least
by Japanese standards, they aren't _that_ big. Have the
clones been tinkered with? I should think the reason why
she was enjoying trashing the would-be rapists would be
self-evident even if the source of the ability to do so is
a mystery to her. This is vaguely reminiscent of a certain
other Ranma project with many authors, but since that one
has gone down the tubes, I look forward to seeing more
of this one.
