>Well I G2G cuz its 9:18 and I have school tomorrow.

Awwww you big wuss. Why back in my day, I woke up at
5 in the morning for a 6:15 class and I still stayed
up untill at least midnight each night. Of course I'm
told I took a nap somewhere during my science class,
but that's not important. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fanfic Discussion (insert much fanfare)

General Questions:

>Could the story fit in the regular Ranmaverse?

I'm tempted to say yes, but I really don't think so. 
Even if he was faced with the prospect of losing his 
ehem.. manliness, I don't think Ranma would ever give 
up his manliness. It would just make him too, um, 
unmanly. Yea, that's the ticket.

>Was anyone noticeably OOC?
>(specifically address Ranma, Akane, and Nodoka)

Ranma- Too thoughtful.
Akane- Too thoughtful.
Nodoka- What the hell! I always got the impression 
that Nodoka was Ms. Perfect Japanese Wife + one big
sword. I'll admit I'm not entirely sure, 'cause I 
still have yet to see the manga she's in, but at least
in the OAV she in, she looks calm and likable. I have 
to agree with what someone already said, after waiting
most of Ranma's life for her manly son to return, I 
doubt she'd suddenly decide to make him a 'woman 
amoung women'

>Were there any noticeable author biases?

None that I noticed.

>Any favourite quotes?

Oh, there were just soooo many. 

"Mom this is crazier than even any of POP'S schemes!
Well, with the exception of the Neko-ken, maybe...
and those multiple fiancees... and Jusenkyo...
All right, it's not crazier, but it's still crazy!"

All the 'embracing my femininity with masculine
determination' stuff.

*Rouyga, you see, has a problem with terminal shyness.
Around a pretty girl he get's VERY flustered.
Around a pretty and scntily clad girl the word 
flustered in no longer adaquate and this writer doesn't
think there is one in the English language to describe
the state of mind Ryouga would be in.

Faced with four pretty girls (of which three were
definitely scantily clad and one wasn't wearing that
much, really) Ryouga Hibiki did the only thing he 
could possibly do--

Develop a major nosebleed and pass out.*

*Hinako started towards the pair, coin in hand, 
muttering "delinquents" under her breath when Aknae
stopped and explained Ranma's actions. Hinako's eyes
widened. And then she shocked most of the student
body by yelling, uncharacteristically, "Go GET that
little weasel, Ranma! You can come late to class if
you need the time!"

After all, she might have been a chi-draining 
age-shifting energy vampire-- but she was a girl too.*

Cologne's crystal ball was hilarious. Althogh I'll 
admit at first I thought it would be black and have 
a large 8 on it. Oh well.

I'll stop now, lest I create a 20k message by myself.

>Did you enjoy the fanfic?

Immensly. Indoubtably. Exceedingly. Uhhh, I've run out
of big words (What! Only 3! I need to read the dicto..
uhhh, that big book o' word, again) so, YES!
===================
Story-specific questions:

>Would Ranma ever, in a month of Mondays, actually >agree to the Girl Days?

NO!

>Would Ranma ever, in a month of Mondays, actually go >out with Ryouga?

Challenge to his honor and manliness, maybe. But he's 
already given up his manliness for two months, so 
what does he have to worry about? It's already gone.

>Did the author do a good job of dealing with some of >the more "feminine aspects"
of Ranma's curse?  I
>suppose I'll be mercilessly derided if I don't 
>just say it - In other words, did he deal well with >the sort of stuff that Takahashi
terms "I don't think
>about it, and neither should you."?  (PMS, the 
>possibility of pregnancy, and the like)

I'll take a cop-out already used. I have bits in the
wrong places to answer this question.

>Was the author's continual commentary/fourth-wall >breaking distraction, or did it
work in this case?

I liked it. But then, I've always been partial to an
absence of the forth-wall in stories.

>What did you think of the final (as of now) >costume-party chaos scene at the Kunou
estate?

ugh. That's all I have to say. Just ugh.

>Just for fun, since the story is unfinished, where do >you anticipate the author
will take it from here?

"FRED YERFBURGER PREPARE TO DIE!!!"

And the peasents rejoiced.

>Has this story changed your impression of cheez whiz? >^_^

My fragile mind has been forever warped. Because of
this story I shall remember to bring LOTS of Cheez
Whiz on my honeymoon.
