Ehh..*sweatdrop* Actually, I just realized that in later

chapters, I dropped any sort of use of ANY suffix to 

names..@_@ I haven't looked at any of these old chaptes in

ages.  *ahem* Yes. My bad. ^,^;;





you don't refer to them in the third person

with their title.  

 

I sent you an older version, apparently. -_-;;  The one

on my page doesn't say "Sir Ryouga".  I changed that 

awhile ago..^^;  You must realize, I first wrote this 

story in 5th grade. O_O  I'm only going over it now.





I detest Japanese name suffixes in an English language >story ^_^



Oy! I'm gettin' rid of 'em!  I don't really mind them, but

I also dun feel like dealing with them in my writing. ^^;





Also why would father be angry about her learning new >techniques?  Are they

dangerous?  Is Ryouga only supposed to be teaching her >footwork?  



I got this whole idea from a book I read a LONG time ago.

umm..Dealing with Dragons? Yes... I think that was it...

Err... well, of course he's going to be angry.  He doesn't

want is little girl fighting!!  





Also I feel the need to mention that

you have done almost nothing in the way of scenery thus >far.



In an older, older version of this there was lots.  Too 

much, apparently. -_-;;  I got too many complaints about

it being too long, wordy, and boring, so I took it all out

*sigh* Can't please everyone, I suppose..^^;;







You spelled Ryouga with the elongated "u" spelling.  >Which is correct in

the Japanese sense.  Now you need to be consistent.  >Kunou should also have

a "u" in it. Or, leave them both out.



Ehh??  Nooooonononononono way. ^^;  It's just the way I 

am.  Ryouga, Kuno, ukyou, Tendo.. that's how I spell 'em,

cuz it looks the best that way. @_@ It's habit.  Sorry,

but I like it my way. ;p





{A princess! is watering flowers?  I think not.}



To tell the truth, I'd find it VERY out of character if

Kasumi let everyone do everything else for her.  What else

would she do??  *shakes head* This is the way I see her

in character, and if you dun agree, well pooh on you. ^_~*







it may just be me, but it seems to me that you are >hinting at sexual

activity here.  Just what exactly are they doing out >there?  Kissing or

fighting?}



*BIG sweatdrop* That's... just you.  o_O;;  You're the 

first person to ever interperet that wrong...^^; They're

simply fighting.  And in MY little world/story, a princess

should NOT be fighting, thus why it's supposed to be a 

secret.





nobody wonders if they care about something. 



hmm??  Sure they do!!  Maybe it's just YOU that doesn't.

^__~*





you should have tagged this WAFF it is definitely a Warm >And Fuzzy Feeling fic



Bah. Nope nope.  I'm a Ranma-Akane fan.  ^__^ But Ryouga's

so sweet... *dreamy sigh* You have to give him some 

happiness..







is she thinking this to herself?  If so you need to >indicate it as such.

There are all kinds of methods you can use



*sagging in frustration*  I've gotten totally equal

amounts of comments on both sides.. it USED to have 

asterix (or whatever * is..^^;;;) for that, until about

7 people e-mailed me, saying that that was NOT the way

to do it, and to just leave out any.  Like in real books.

*sighs* I'm just gonna leave it as it is.  Like i said,

can't please everybody...





Oy.  About the whole, "European/Japan" confusion...

*sweatdrop* I suppose you haven't read further chapters,

so probably wouldn't know... this isn't even set in the

real world.  Not in anytime anywhere on earth.  It'll

have dragons, and magic, and it's just... a fairytail.

Wherever fairytails take place. @_@ I should _probably_

mention that, huh?  *sheepish laugh* My bad. 





already into undying love.  Your pacing is a little fast 



Already??  He and Akane have known each other for over

10 year-- oops. o_O I forgot to send the prologue of this

story out first.. *snaps fingers* Shoot!



weapons and armor are not generally kept in ones >quarters, they have

armories for that purpose}



Well they are in MY story, and so far no one else has

minded... ^_~*





knights of any time did not wear their armor around the

castle/keep/courtyard just for kicks.  



heehee.  In MY time they do.





fancy piece of armor meant for looking nice, not >>protection.



no such thing.  You of course can make this up.  But if >you do please describe it



Describe it?  Very well.  -_-  Later, ok?  I don't feel

like writing fanfics right now. @_@



consistent for the Ryouga we know, not for squires of >that era



I AM going for ic here.  If I REALLY wanted to do a 

hardcore, realistic, accurate medieval Ranma fanfic,

I might as well just change all their names, change

their attitudes, and just write a medieval story that

really has nothing to do with Ranma. ^__^;;;  And that's

no fun...



bokkens

were ONLY used in Japan. 



...and in my story...





fizzle . . . the audience can hear crickets quite >audibly}



T'wasn't MEANT to be funny.  I'm surprised anyone found

ANY of this story funny.  O_O It wasn't what I was aiming

for... but hey, whatever...^^;









"Yes, over here,"  he said from a cabinet.

"Finally!  I thought I'd never find this cursed roo- >>why are you

in a cupboard?"



{separate dialogue!

"Finally!  I thought I'd never find this cursed roo -"

"Why are you in a cupboard?"  Ryouga broke in to the >doctors train of

outspoken thoughts.

- of course I wrote the above assuming you left the "t" >off because Ryouga

was interrupting him.  If you forgot the "t" then change >it to a better wording}



Wha??  No... ^^;;;  It's not a T, it's an M.  Room.  

The whole  "Finally!  I thought I'd never find this cursed roo-- why are you in a cupboard?" Is Ryouga 

talking, not Dr. Tofu.  He had been searching for

Dr.Tofu's room, and finally found it.  *sweatdrop*

You get confused awfully easily.  *grin* ^.~





{problem, he is her bodyguard.  Someone else MUST have >noticed his tendency

to get lost, he would have been reassigned to gate >keeper or something, they

never would have permitted him to stay on as her >bodyguard.}



Hm?  Stranger things HAVE happened in the Ranma1/2 world.

Don't take this story too seriously.  It's not meant

to be accurate.  I know plenty about medieval times, 

seeing as I'm learing about them in school right now...

But that's not what I was aiming for.  



{um . . . no, a princess would not be allowed to train >in the fighting arts

in the first place, that is what commoners and guards >were for.  



Ehh??  Do you live in my world??  ^.~* Nnnoooo... It's MY

story!! So there!!  ^____^  but she's not allowed to 

train.  Correct.  Tis WHY she and Ryouga were keeping the

training secret.  And in MY story, she can wear whatever

she wants.  



She would not be in Akane's room helping her dress (that >is

what hand maids are for)  



*shakes head*  Nabiki and Akane are sisters, and they hang

out.  They defy the rules a lot... and this is my own 

world.  They can do what they want. ^~



it still doesn't work for me.



heehee.  ^^; I'm not writing this story JUST for you, 

y'know.



Nabiki being the older sister and hence a higher

ranking princess would just order it away and have the >cook make her

something new.  



Oy. -_-  You're taking this story too seriously!!  Just

let it be light and happy, ok?? ^^;;



magazines didn't exist in this era.  



BWA HA!!  They do in mine. ;p



kings don't summon princesses.  



I'm sure they could if they wanted to. ^__^;





kitchen entrances were in back side rooms, hidden from >the view of guests,

and they did NOT smell good.  This was the middle ages >remember.  It would

not be near any sort of fireplace}



hmm??  Well, maybe the contruction workers screwed up

on the building, or were stoned, or something...^~

Like I said, this is my world (I really need to put a 

little note or something for more nitpicky people, ne?)





Nabiki has never been shown to actually love Kunou, that >is a fanfiction

convention, and one hell of a popular one.  Nabiki loves >his money.



*sweatdrop* I showed signs of her liking him??  Wow.  I 

need to read my story again. @_@ I don't even remember.

I'll probably change it, since my outline really has 

nothing to do with their nonexsistant love.  





good Kunou speech here, but you are aware he is >insulting her family by

saying their floors are filthy?}



he's Kuno. -_- Like he'd notice that.



women in Japan today wear kimonos still



Yuppers.  I know that.  But maybe in MY world they don't.

I just need to explain things I bit more, I suppose...

*whines* But I don't wanna change EVERYthing!  You're the

first to hve complained about it!!!  <___>





you have people blink a lot in your story, is that >intentional?



Yes it is. -_-  I LIKE blinking. ;p  Ehh... have a problem

with it?? ^^;



"Please call me Nodaka, or Aunite.  Himeko is much too formal,"



no, this wasn't done, not on the first meeting anyway



I spelled her name wrong throughout this

entire fic. #_# I just realized that... anyways, I'm 

gonna leave it.  *shakes head* No one else thought 

anything bad of it. 



no!  Queens did not, would not ever, and could not >cook!  In Japan maybe,

but NOT in Europe



If they really wanted to, I doubt anyone would stop them.

And in my story, it's just FINE!! ^.^



The

kitchen was NOT a place royalty hung out}



It COULD be!!  And it is in my story.  So there. ^~



{cook, chef is a French term, and generally only used in >restaurants}



Ehh... @_@ My bad.



cute but you really need to address his role as her >bodyguard, he either is

or he isn't, if he is then he should be by her side or >behind her at ALL

times, there is no possible way he could get lost, not >even him



I'm not gonna take out my favorite things about Ryouga 

just to please you, dear.  ^____^  I like him like that,

and if it bugs you that much, you don't have to read my

story. ^^



bodyguards were NOT introduced



But best friends are.  At least in my story. ;p



NO!  bodyguards don't "wander off"



o_O This IS Ryouga we're talking about here.  I'm going to

stay IC. ^_^;  



why on earth is she wearing an overcoat anyway?



It was a suggestion from another medieval expert.  

He told me about some dresses that would fit my story,

and almost all of them were in three pieces.  A skirt,

a large, heavy overcoat, and a small tanktop-like shirt

underneath.



glass doors were non-existent to rare in this era



^^;;  Last time I'm gonna remind everyone that this is 

in no 'era'.  It's just a fairytail.





wow, I get huggies and everything? Kewl, usually I get >squat for C&C



Really??  How rude!!  You can have all the huggies you 

want!! I'm eternally greatful you fulfilled my request!



nonsense, you are a writer.  How good of one depends on >the effort you put

into it, not what your letter grade is in some class



*sweatdrop* Thanks... either way, I got an A.  @_@  7th

grade is jus' tooooooooo easy.  Either that, or my 

teachers really are as stupid as I suspected they were...

I'm probably smarter than some of them, and that is just

NOT saying much on their parts... ^^;;;;



Thanks again for reading this.  I'm a little nervous to

send out chapter two of Star... but I might build up the

courage to do it someday. ^___^;

You're very good at C&C!!  Would you do Crucifix for me,

too?? ;)

Luv ya!!

*huggies*
