First my special thanks to Elisteran for helping me with this. Chapter 2
to 6 are totally outlined, but my writing skill are not up to the challenge.
The characters come out lifeless and boring. So here is the revised version
and I hope I can eventually break writers block.
Also the post of atacking the gods demostrated that Gary klepe criticied
and ridiculed is still better than my best writing. Well I hope i'll get
better. Next time.
-- You don't sound like you think much of your writing. Well, I haven't read
the other versions of this at all, so we'll see how the revision works on
someone unfamiliar with your work ^-^
Crystal wings Part 1
The beginning.
This is a Ranma 1/2 alternaverse. None of the Ranma gang are mine they r
-- Oh, oh. Please, don't write r when you mean are, even in a disclaimer.
It's
very unprofessional and distracting.
It was a beautiful morning in Nerima. It was just before dawn and the sun
was
timidly stretching its fingers. It was the start of a nice day and many
people
were getting ready to enjoy it. There were some few exceptions, like at
the
Nekohanten.
-- I'm pretty sure Neko Hanten is two words. Neko, alone, is cat, and I
believe
Hanten is cafe.
Shampoo was feeling murderous. Her Airen would never go with that sexless
crazy tomboy. What had their parents done? Maybe bribe with a barrel of
the
water of spring of drowned man? And all the other girls. They were not
anything to Ranma.
-- Instead of "not anything", I'd write "nothing". And bribed them rather
then
bribe.
She, Shampoo, was the only wife. All others must give up or
be eliminated. But after what she had done in the wedding would Ranma
forgive
Shampoo? Yes, he would know it had been done to preserve their love.
<Ha ha ha ha.> Moose had jumped 6 meters away from her after she uttered
such
a Kodachi like laugh. <He will be mine no matter the cost.>
-- Oh, the < > is dialogue. I thought it was thought. Okay ^-^ You would be
better off using ""'s for dialogue. "Glad to know it, Shampoo," looks so
much more like speaking then <Glad to know it, Shampoo,>
<Glad to know it, Shampoo,> Cologne said on top of her staff <For we have
passed a critical point. You must choose, great-great-granddaughter. We
must
either go back to china in shame. Or take extreme measures to break the
bond
-- China, not china.
They all entered the attic. Cologne hopped towards the back, where she
kept
her most vile and evil contraptions. She stopped in front of a black
chest.
It had three locks on the front each with a representation of an animal.
Tiger, dragon and bear. Cologne began to chant <Bear to heal and purify.
Tiger to have the strength to try. Dragon the defender of the weak.
Snake will show the secrets you seek.> With this final verse she drew a
snake
-- Interesting, with the bear. I never really thought of them as healing
animals.
But hey, it's original, and original is better then cliche.
with a fingernail in the wood. The pattern glowed in bright green for a
moment.
When the glow had faded all three locks opened at once. <Look Shampoo this
where I keep some of our tribes most powerful relics.>
-- Punctuation, please :-) Maybe "Look, Shampoo, this is where I keep
some of our tribe's most powerful relics."
-It looks like Ranma will be mine at last- thought Shampoo.
<Great-great-grandmother what will we use?>
<A powerful artifact: The Eye of Shandala. This gem has a terrible power.
It
erases the memories of humans but asks for a great price, a price in
blood.
-- Oh dear. Please tell me this isn't borrowed from Hearts of Ice? And that
Shampoo isn't going after a dragon, now?
Many before have tried to use it and fell to feed the hungry gem without
achieving their goal. Do you wish to take the chance?>
<I will, revered elder. Anything to get Ranma.>
<Then it shall be. Seal everything and meet me down stairs. Moose come
with
-- Mousse, not Moose :-) Like the hair product.
me. You have to clean the dishes before the customers come.> Cologne
hopped
down the stairs with the box of the gem and a grim expression in her face.
-- Maybe "with the gem's box" rather then "box of the gem"
Shampoo was alone. She had been told to seal the chest, but it was too
great a
temptation to look inside and see what other Amazon treasures did Cologne
hold
-- That "did" there is unnecessary.
there. - A quick peek will not hurt anyone. She was the Cologne's heir and
she should know what items did they have.- Shampoo was not a total idiot,
but
-- Shampoo is thinking this, right? Should be "I'm Cologne's heir, and I.."
etc
she did not have the benefit of Cologne's training and she did not notice
she
was being influenced by an external force.
Sure this box looks promising- She picked up an iron box on the left of
the
chest. It was very heavy!! - I wonder what is inside- She opened it and
-- Two things. You seem to be using hyphens for more then thoughts, and this
is confusing me a bit. You may want to consider using an underscore _ for
thoughts.
Someone suggested this to me, and I find it works quite well. The other
thing,
is exclamation marks. Now some people don't mind seeing two in a row like
that, but generally, you should use them in moderation. One at a time.
Sorry, I've just noticed I've only been nitpicking your grammar and use of
words, so far. I do think that actual events are interesting, and I'm
curious
about what this external force is.
The box was locked but firm pull took care of the problem. She opened it
and
-- "a" firm pull. Maybe tug instead of pull, but eh. ^-^
found the box was full of silver mirrors. And in the middle was a knife. A
wicked looking sacrificial knife. - This has to be powerful. Something
that
looks that bad has to be a weapon for destroying demons.- Shampoo took the
knife and her eyes glazed. Her will had been subtly been drained by the
evil

be chopped.
weapon and now the takeover was complete. Like an automaton she started
walking. Her breathing became faster as she tried to break the spell. But
it
was like fighting air. Lacking formal training in magic she did not know
how
to retaliate and was powerless to stop the knife.
-- ...very interesting :-) Hmm, odd that Cologne would keep something like
that up there, if it could easily take over Shampoo or Mousse, but maybe
you explain that later.
*************************************
Cologne was downstairs pondering their new problems: How could they use
the
gem without being blamed?, and after that, how could they position
themselves
-- should be "blamed? And after", no comma. "And" is an awkward way to
start a sentence, but people do get away with it. I know I do it, from time
to
time.
so that Ranma's family would come to them for help. If it came to extremes
she knew that Akane would prefer to give up Ranma than to see him as a
vegetable all his life. It was a grim prospect, but they were running out
of
-- Akane give up on something? Hmm, but Cologne might think that, sure.
damage she could cause if she kept being so stubborn? And why is she
taking
so long to come down?
-- Was, not is, here. Unless she's thinking, but it's hard to tell when
you're doing
narrative and when people are thinking.
The instant that she finished that thought Shampoos body entered the
restaurant.
-- Shampoo's. Oh, and after "thought", there should be a comma.
All hell broke loose. The restaurant was designed using Feng Shui to
channel
positive energy and drive away evil. Behind the mirrors there were wards
against
evil spirits. There was even a small blessed cross in a cupboard, the gift
of
a Christian priest. All exploded. It was a horrible show. Glass shattered
and
flew everywhere as the wards tried to absorb the evil energy flowing from
the
knife. Dark fire butterflies flew from the knife towards the wards. As the
knife grew dimmer more and more wards burned up until they were all gone.
The
knife had won but it was a costly victory. At the start of the conflict it
had
shone like a dark bonfire and now it was only glowing.
-- Interesting :-) I like how Cologne has the Neko Hanten protected.
Shampoo regained consciousness at that moment and dropped the knife like a
poisoned snake. She felt violated in a way she did not fully understand.
That
-- Wait, it was victorious, but Shampoo regained control of herself? What
was
it victorious in? *keeps reading*
thing had taken over her mind and body completely and had done as it
pleased.
She ran to Cologne and hugged her like a little child. Like all those
times
she had been afraid of thunder. Cologne made some soothing noises to the
girl.
- She was almost in a nervous breakdown. We can not have that. She must
know
what happened to her and work hard so it never happens again.-
-- Cologne immediately knows what happened? Maybe have a sentence here,
where Cologne sees the knife and realizes Shampoo opened the Jade box,
or have Shampoo say what she remembered happening.
<Wha... what is that grandmother?>
-- It's actually either great-grandmother or great-great-grandmother, but
fair enough.
<It is Whasa-by�s fall. A terrible artifact that our peopled are cursed to
guard. It is a relic from the creation of Jusendo.>
-- Play on wasabi? :-) And you made a typo on people. Seriously though,
this is a good plot point.

send their best. But an hour later they council had called, telling her to
-- Typo (the not they)
abandon everything and come back immediately. They had been very secretive
to
what the crisis was. But she could not leave before she took certain
measures.
A sealing ward had been carved on the wood of the floor. And lots of
smaller
ones had been placed on the walls and ceiling. She was going to leave
Shampoo
and Moose in Japan. If the problem was so bad they would have told her.
-- You're saying here that she's leaving Shampoo (and Mousse) in Japan
because
she doesn't think what the council is going to say is so bad that Shampoo
needs
her protection?
Shampoo was the heir to her place in the council!. So she had left an hour
after the incident telling Shampoo not to come near the knife and to make
sure Moose does not do it either. And in case anything went wrong go to
the
Tendo dojo and alert Ranma and Happosai. Shampoo was depressed. Why? Why
leave
-- Why alert Ranma? He'd be no help against something magic. Happosai, I
can see, if she can get the lech to stop gropping her breasts for two
minutes :-)
She was still fuming how unfair it was when the wall exploded. Her warrior
-- "at how unfair"
instincts served her well. She rolled with the blast and was not hurt.
Unfortunately she was now next to the floor wards and had to face whatever
came from the hole in the wall. It was a tall man. And he was white. White
skin, white clothes, white eyes, white hair and white wings?!
-- Ahh, so that's what the rest of him looks like. I have a better mental
image,
now.
"Hellooooo is anybody home?"
-- So he's a joker now?
Shampoo was really pissed off and was going to take it out on this
stranger.
She went all out with a frontal strike that hit the man and sent him
flying
away into a wall. The wall caved in but the man was not even dazed. He got
up
rapidly and launched his own attack. It was a very simple combination so
Shampoo decided to block and counterattack. It was a bad mistake. The mans
-- man's
fist broke the bonbori like it was made of paper and grazed her on the
shoulder. Shampoo went flying and crashed inside the kitchen. She was hurt
and the shoulder was probably dislocated.
-- Ouch. And I was just wondering where Mousse was when I read the
lower paragraph.
Moose hearing the noise downstairs had come down. He saw the man hit
Shampoo.
-- Maybe "Having heard the noises downstairs, Mousse ran down."
Moose was furious but took the time to look at the strangers fighting
style.
He fought like a gorilla but was incredible strong. He had overpowered
Shampoo's defenses like nothing. The old mummy had told them to go to
Ranma
if something happened. So decisions made Moose let loose a barrage of
hidden
weapons and entered the kitchen. The man was not hurt, just annoyed at the
-- The "so decisions" sentence is awkward, maybe reword it? Change so to
quick, or "Taking action, Mousse let loose" etc
interruption. He just started punching everything that came close. He had
a
murderous look in his eyes.
-- Careful not to start too many sentences with he or she in a row. That
last
sentence would look good as "Murder blazed in his eyes." or something
like that.
"Shampoo were are you?" He saw her still dazed inside the fridge room. She
had
-- Where, not were. Also, "her, still dazed"
"No, I will kill him."
-- Is she speaking in her native tongue here, or Japanese? Her Japanese
isn't that clear.
Seeing that she would not be reasonable Moose grabbed a water bottle and
poured it on her. A very angry neko-shampoo was now on the floor. Moose
picked
her up and put her inside his robes. He carried a cat cage for emergencies
-- lol, he carries a cat cage? Oddly enough, that makes sense. Oh, she'll be
pissed when she gets out, I can just see it.
like this. Now that his love was secured he looked for a way out. He
looked
into the restaurant and saw the man. The stranger was not paying them
attention. He was circling the floor wards. Every time he tried to cross
them,
-- Maybe "not paying them any attention"
The creature was still trying to get to the knife without getting hurt by
the
wards when Moose left. -Go run little creatures. I will get you latter. -
-- Later, not latter.
In the Tendo dojo it was a typical morning. Genma and Soun were playing,
but
Genma was in panda form with a plate of bamboo shoots he was munching.
Ranma
was watching TV, while Akane was talking on the phone with a friend from
school.
Nabiki was upstairs in her room checking the NASDAQ results and comparing
them with Tokyo. Kasumi was in the kitchen preparing lunch for everyone.
It
looked like the start of a beautiful and quiet day. But alas it was not to
be.
-- A bit generic, but eh, it's not a big deal. Happosai is not around? ^-^
You don't
have to mention what everybody is doing every time. But then, sometimes it's
okay to. I know I do it sometimes.
There is a Chinese curse that goes 'May you live interesting times'. And
it was
perfectly represented with Ranma Saotome.
-- Don't you mean saying, rather then curse? Or proverb?
Moose jumped over the wall and entered the Tendo residence through the
kitchen
window. Kasumi was just going out with a tray of refreshments. "Excuse me"
he
-- Should be "Excuse me," he said
I've been just learning proper ways of dialogue myself, and already I'm
passing
on what I've learned. ^-^ There are a lot of picky rules, and I don't blame
you for occasionally messing up.
Ranma was not so kind. "Who the f*** has gotten me all wet." As Ranma-chan
came
into the kitchen for some hot water she saw him. "Moose this better not be
a
challenge or a trick. I'm not in the mood."
-- Err, how did Ranma get wet? And if you're going to swear, just write
the word and put a content warning at the top of the fanfic. It looks much
then f***
The sentence was left unfinished. The problem had decided to follow Moose.
He
bore down on the house in terrible magnificence. He was at least two
meters
-- What? But I thought he didn't care about Mousse? Hmm.
tall. He was very well developed, not the musculature of a weight lifter,
but
-- You've already described how he's muscular, you don't need to again.
And what is this guy wearing? Is he naked?
the lean muscles of a swimmer or runner. He looked like a foreigner. Every
thing about the estranger was white. He had long white hair, down to the
shoulder blades. The robes he was wearing looked like some desert outfit.
-- Oh, there's my answer.
Even his skin was pale, pale even for a Caucasian. But the most prominent
feature were the wings. Great feathered wings sprouted from his back. The
wings were a translucent white, and reflected the colors of the rainbow.
-- They're feathered and reflective? Interesting...okay, but it shouldn't be
taking the reader this long to know all of these things. Try to describe
more
earlier on :-)
"My name is Ranma Saotome and him you wanted to find the best you have
come to
the right place." Ranma assumed a combat stance and started to study his
opponent.
-- His speech is messed up. Probably typoes, or you wrote it too fast. You
might
want to consider "and studied his opponent" instead of "and started to
study"
At that moment Moose stand along with Ranma. "Ranma. I will help you
defeat
-- Stood alongside, not stand along

you
Ranma. He is very unskilled opponent, but he is terribly strong"

Mousse's horrendous eyesight.

projectile blocked the sun for the two combatants. Ranma was getting out

was
howling in fury.
-- Maybe "he howled in fury"
"Ok. Now it is just you and me. I really do hope you are better than him."
Narac said this with all the arrogance that only monsters command.
-- Does that mean Ranma is a monster? Joke, joke :-)

wondering

Where is everyone else now, anyway? Why isn't Akane yelling to Ranma,

and

was not a good ruse but he had to try.
-- "If you're so tough, why don't ya come and get me? If you're not up to

and
took Kasumi by the neck. "Now if you are so kind as to come here. I will

kill her" Akane had, up to that moment, kept out of the fight. But this
was
too much. "Let go of my sister" Akane attacked Narac, trying to hit the
elbow.
-- No no, the worst thing you can do when the enemy has your ally in a
precarious
position is to hit them. Unless you know without a doubt that they won't
kill
the person. In my opinion, anyway, I don't think Akane would do that.
Again: "...not kill her." Akane had, (etc)

Overall,
very interesting, though a few things confused me. You need to work on
your punctuation, choice of words, and finding one style and sticking to
it. It helps to keep notes, or go over your fanfic looking out for certain
things,
like making sure Shampoo's speech is always one way, while Mousse's is
another, etc. Plus, I don't personally mind having random Japanese words
thrown in like bokken, or oni, or chan, but just be careful to use them
properly, and consistently.
Well, I'm anxious to see the next part. ^-^ I hope I helped. And don't
