Damn shame, too.  I LOVED the Bet.  What a lot of anime purists failed to 
understand is that the whole POINT of the Bet as a plot device was to 
explore possibilities in anime storylines, Ranma in particular, without 
worrying about sticking to continuity.

It was FUN TO READ, dagnabit, and now I won't get to read another Betfic 
until Hell freezes over.
   

What *you* fail to understand is:

1) Not everybody thought it was fun.

2) The people who didn't think it was fun have a perfect right to say
so.

3) The author, in turn, has a perfect right to ignore those people and
continue writing in whatever manner he sees fit.

4) Should the author give up this right and quit writing, it's his own
decision, and no one else's.
 

1 - The only time I ever "flamed" Gregg was the time he posted
a story with nothing to do with Ranma et. al. in the Ranma section
of ff.net. The rest of the time, most all of my reviews were positive,
and none would be remotely called flames.

2 - Although I like most of his stuff, it is very predictable. No
matter how it starts or regardless of how Ranma is different,
it ALWAYS turns into a Sailor Moon / Rifts World crossover.

3 - Everyone gets spam these days. I get more than a hundred
a day. That's why Mozilla/FireFox has a junk mail filter. It works
VERY well. Use it. No more spam trouble.

4 - I've taken a long break in my writing... I REALLY need to
get back to work. :) Authors do that sometimes. I'm still waiting
for the next chapter in "Hearts Healing." Only been a few years. :)
