Thank you. ^_^ So I fulfilled my own prophecy and stayed up all night reading more fanfics... Pathetic. ^_^ Hmm... DnU was trying to be funny in that offhandish casual way... I don't think they quite hit the nail on the head this time. I dunno. I just kept on reading the way Ukyou was talking to her grandfather, and telling myself that I'd be disowned for being that informal... On the other hand, Chpt. 26 was... pretty good. Coulda been better. Coulda been a lot worse. Most definitely interesting. Having Lawson write was a good idea, but it leaves the style a bit disjointed... It was weird reading that last scene. Kept on having flashbacks to Battletech: Warior-Riposte (maybe?) One of the Warrior trilogy books by Stackpole. Its the scene where Hanse Davion proposes to Melissa Steinter AFTER their marriage... Personally, I liked the B-tech one better, the Fox being a lot smoother, but then again, if Ranma wasn't a bumbling idiot, where would we all be? ^_^ -skeezy5, who somehow survived a round of the Star Wars drinking game and is still awake and kicking.
