Description:  The collapse of Kuno's illusions and subsequent suicide
attempt have left him in the hospital but he's still rejecting
Nabiki despite their mutual sentiments.

Comments:  Ah, so they begin to communicate.  How nice.  This is a
concept that has been done before, but the author has
made this a definitive version by pulling out all the stops to make
things difficult for Nabiki.

Description:  Ranma turns out to be Belldandy's long lost kid or
something.

Comments:  Doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of sense.  Why would Mara
worry about endangering her fiance's soul?  How else would she get him?

Description:  First person story from the point of view of a Ranma who
was somehow trapped in female form permanently
and is about to meet a Konatsu who never got his freedom.

Comments:  Wow.  What a remarkably unappealing title.  Nicely
characterised, though.

Description:  This is the one where Ranma decides he likes being a girl.

Comments:

  Nabiki nodded thoughtfully.  "Okay.  I... I think I'd be willing to
  give you some Nyannichuan water.  The Saotomes aren't the only ones
who
  messed up your life, unfortunately; we'll let this constitute my

Nonsense.  The Saotomes ARE the only ones who messed up Ukyou's life to
any significant extent, apart of course from the
Kuonjis.


  He put his fingers up into a 'V' formation.  "Ukyou, there are two
  things I never joke about.  One is money, and the other is love.  I


Better add "now" to "joke about".  Nabiki joked about love almost
incessantly.

I doubt, incidentally, that Akane would actually end up taller than her
father.  She is, after all, not merely the youngest, but the
shortest of the three sisters and Soun appears to be a tall man (for his
environs).

Description:  A supernatural matchmaker tries to solve Ranma's romantic
problems.
Script format.

Comments:

  perfect example of the ultimate mother.  But you also find it not
  difficult to not see that there may be a jagged agenda under that
smooth
  exterior.
  In this case, there isn't.  ^_^


This is almost very funny.  Unfortunately it doesn't make enough sense
to make the punchline pay off.  What was Ranma
before he was humanoid?

In re the author's comments about not getting comments...

Script format is a handicap.  Oh, I know, it saves you from having to
think of synonyms for "said" and having to write in the
past tense, but it does make it harder
for people to get into it, and consequently narrows your audience.  As
script format goes it isn't bad at all, but...

Oh...and I really think saying "What do you care" isn't enough for Akane
to knock Ranma into orbit.  Honestly, that's
overkill.  Ranma also doesn't have the foresight to carry warm water all
the time, in order to ensure that his curse will actually
inconvenience him.  I'm also not thrilled that supernatural boy can kick
Ranma's ass in straight martial arts competition.

Shouldn't "alcalde" be capitalised?

Sinestro?  Is he bright red?

    "Mel, you don't know how a gun works any more than you do a fire spell,"
Myron the Merchant(tm) joked... but kept his voice low, so as not to be
overheard.  "If anything, you'd have to study for years, with hard magical
training just to toss a small fireball.  ANY idiot can pull a trigger.  Which
do you think is safer?"


For the average user?  The gun.  That way you can rely on the competence
of the gun manufacturer rather than how closely you paid attention in
class.  You don't play Mage, by any chance do you?

Now that Lina's no longer a teenager, doesn't all that eating make her
fat?

You know, really, using machines you don't understand may be Technology,
but it certainly isn't Science.
