Yes, I know it's late. Yes, I know it's been gone for a long time.
But I'm back. And I want C&C. And the only way to get it is to
dish it out with the best, the brightest and the brain-dead.
Whichever, category you fall under, please note that these are
my opnions and not the Synopses List team's. So any flames,
to me, not them.

Episode Summary:
Nene's new standing in AD Police generates quite a surprise for the
newly-returned Priss, and also produces some unexpected complications.
Also, Sylia begins to set the stage for the renewal of her crusade.
Review:
I seem to remember ... well... I heard you retired, Stormwalker.
Well, it seems quite appropriate that your return was heralded by this piece,
one of the best BGC fics I've seen come down the pike in quite awhile.
The formatting and grammar was adequate, though I might have ignored
them with the great prose you weave. Keep it up, this particular baby
I'll be watching.
And, oh, I managed to read the SM fic you released... you'll continue it or
I'll have to hurt you. ^_^

[Gundam Wing / Yu Yu Hakusho]

Series Summary:
Due an unexpected death, Duo meets Koenma...and his mysterious parents
Episode Summary:
Duo's parents finally make an appearance. They were not like anything
he had ever imagined.
Review:
I won't say anything. Just ... well, they don't mesh. I don't see where
this is going and well... I don't care. Don't get me wrong, young man,
I'm a big fan of Gundam Wing and Yu Yu Hakusho, but if you're going
to want to continue this with definable results, start from the beginning.
Again. I've read the previous chapters, since habit forces me to read
every fanfic that goes through the FFML, and I was not impressed.
Fix your formatting and get prereaders. I'm amenable to the position
but you'll have to deal with a one to two week delay with me, so if you
want speed, go for someone else.

[Ranma 1/2]

Size: 41k
Series Summary:
The Jusenkyo curses work just a little differently here. In order to
change back, the cursed victim must orgasm, any way possible. The
cursed valley is very small, and all of the pools are SOD some type of
human, be it male, female, or not really sure. There ain't any hairy
palmed pandas running around. Things are different, very different.
Episode Summary:
The end to Ranma's first evening at the Tendo's, plus his first week
of school. We finally see some real lemon, only, it's not quite what
you expect.
Review:
It is my policy, not to review lemons. Yes, I read them, but reviewing
them is another matter.

Series Summary:
The Nerima Confederation, Furinkan Combine, The League of Five Nails,
the Jusenkyo Commonwealth, and the Federated Shiratori vie for control
of the Inner Sphere, and the fate of the beleaguered Confederation
rests in the hands of two Dispossessed Mechwarriors named Saotome.
Episode Summary:
Grand Duke Tendo makes the engagement of Ranma and Akane public;
forcing the League's hand, and pushing Nabiki towards High Treason.
Review:
Since James is probably one of my favorite authors, this may seem
biased, but trust me it's not. If you haven't read this fic, read it.
Even if you haven't read Battletech, you'll like it. As always, James delivers
quite a nice package with good formatting and grammar, not to mention
an exciting story to boot.
There, James, you've got your ego stroked, so go and write more !!!

Summary:
Ranma and two of the Tendo's sister wake up in a strange new world,
where everything, including themselves, is different. How will they
cope?
Review:
Well, I've read it and it's quite good. Formatting errors, of course, but
that can always be attributed to machine error. No typos, that I can see.
Fairly good, but as always, the crossover is kinda new for me and I'm
always leery of new crossovers.
Keep it up and send me Chapters 1 and 2. I seem to have missed them.

Epsiode Summary:
The Children of Chaos discuss their mutual enemy over a game of cards.
Review:
An amusing piece, with the same level of work I've come to expect from
Mr. umm... Razorclaw X, which is above average. It is quite good and was
worth a few laughs. Not a must read but, well, it took the edge off some of
the stuff I read.

but as Kako is about to find out if she's going to die, she'll bring
him down with her.
Review:
Sorry, about this, kid. But I checked. I didn't get a copy, so if you want
C&C, send it over and I'll give it a once over. 'Kay ? ^_^

Well, there ends that. The next Synopses List gets the same treatment
and ad infinitum or as long as my brain doesn't explode from all these
fics.
