Which leads to a good point brought up by Nick: you write like a woman. I
don't see that as a sexist comment; I've read enough feminist theory
insisting that there is a female sphere of literature that differs greatly
from that of men. Fine, though I don't fully accept that, but let's say you
write in a femine style. One could argue that the traits I drew out of
Ranma above were 'masculine' traits, more desirable in a male-style story.
Maybe, but that goes to one of my main disappointments with 'Genma's
Daughter.'
Something worth considering: Takahashi *is* a woman and manages to write
the canon Ranma....
