Sorry about not replying to Chapter 2 earlier: I've been having
computer problems and you've released Chapter 3 before I was back
online.

I enjoy both Gargoyles and Ranma 1/2, so this is shaping up to a nice
read.  However, I have a problem swallowing the number of plot
devices you used to 'trap' Ranma and Akane as gargoyles.

1> The mysterious disapearence of the Nyannichuan along with the
 (in)convenient loss of the last cask of Nyannichuan water.

2> The limit of 3 immersions preventing Ranma from using the
 Nannichuan.

3> The Gaagoirniichuan being permanent because:
 (a) boiling water is needed to transform to human and
 (b) the transformation from gargoyle to human is painful
     (although for some reason the reverse isn't).

I suggest that you simply explain away the permanance of the
Gaagoirniichuan by just saying that the magical nature of a gargoyle
interferes with Jusenkyo's curse, and thus that water - even other
Jusenkyo water - will not transform them further.  Why use 3 plot
devices when one will do?

(If you really needed them to be human by day, I would have suggested
that perhaps this combination could function like Demona's
transformation.  However since C.S. 3 has been released, I guess my suggestions may have come too late.)
