Hello to you, who ever you are.  This is my diary, or journal, whichever

one means a book of written down memories to you.



As for me?  Im probably dead or lost.  But thats not important.  Not

to me.  You see I have a secret that no one knows about, something that

will surely damm me for all of my years to come.  Yet I feel the need

to get this off my chest by writting the account in this book.  I will

let you decide whether or not I should be forgiven.



*Snipped*



Greetings,

One thing right off the bat.

I loathe Ryouga. But thats not important. Well..actually it is because,

personal feelings aside, I will read fics with Ryouga coming out on top

or..some sembalnce thereof. I'll hate every second of it but..if the fics good

enough I can't help myself and that is a credit to the author.

This is, I'm afraid, not among that number.

I'm not the best person in the world when it comes to punctuation and

spelling. But I really try. (See my recent one shot 'Orobourous' for just how

bad I get without pre-readers.) 

This story is seriosly lacking from many things. Punctuation being one of

them. I mean, would it have killed the author to use at least one comma? Or

apostrophe? (There see? My spelling sucks..unless I got it right. Then its

sheer perfection. Isn't that sad? I can't be sure if I've spelled a word

correctly or not. But I digress..And James..its spelled DIGRESS..not degress.

Of that I am sure.)



There were numerous spelling errors as well as the punctuation catastrophe.

This is sad because, despite my INCREDIBLE, DARK HATRED FOR ALL THINGS

RYOUGA-ISH...pant..pant...sorry.. the core idea around the story was good. I

love Edger Allen Poe and I have not come across many mixes of my two loves(How

Kunoish..shudder) Anime and classic literature.

Also the mechanics are really out of wack. 

I can believe Ranma being stupid enough to follow Ryouga to a possible source

for a cure. I CAN'T believe it would just be on 'an island' AND Ryouga, being

the trandimensionly lost moron that he is, would be able to find it again even

WITH Ranma's aid.

And how convient is it this island held the cure and the tools of

imprisonment. 

About said imprisonment. Binding Ranma probably would not be that hard.

Keeping him there..ah..there's the rub.

Mere manacles and morter do not a prison make..at least for a Saotome.

You'd need Titanium plateing. 

One last note, the poor sucker who wound up in 'The Cast of Amantialo' was NOT

liked. Everyone smooched him because he was one of the most powerful of the

winemakes in Venice but I assure you..he was not missed.

If you want to hear an EXCELLENT redition of that story look up 'Seeing Ear

Theatre' with Leanord Nimoy and..um..the actor who played the 'Clarence' bad

guy in the original Robocop movie. They played the voices for the two main

roles. Goosebumps..absolute goosebumps.

For the love of GOD!

Yes, for the love of God...

I remain, as always,

                 Mad-Hamlet
