2009-11-20 . chapter 28
Um, not to be rude, but why is this considered a Ranma fanfic?

I mean... There's no gender shifting, Ranma is apparently female now. There's no wacky martial arts. They practice bloody succubi hack/slash/death moves. The characters aren't even named after the Rumiko cast. Oh I mean they were at the very beginning, but those names stopped being used a long long time ago when their appearances changed.

Lets be honest. This story has just about zero to do with Ranma 1/2 anymore.

You could effectively name the main character George and have this fall under original fiction much more easily than remain under the Ranma 1/2 section.

So if the characters don't act like Rumiko's creations, don't look like Rumiko's creations, don't share the names of Rumiko's creations for the most part, or even find themselves in Rumiko'esk situations, why claim this is a Ranma 1/2 fanfiction, when it isn't?

Simply calling the main character Ranma when it clearly isn't doesn't make this a Ranma fanfiction.

So why continue to post this here and not as an original piece of fiction?

heh. I"m quite amused. I've been waiting a long time for DarkStar to come to the end of her patience with Murdoc. Now to see what happens now that she has.

Oh good, Murdock was getting on my nerves. I was hoping this would become a Ranma and Usagi fic but it does not seem likely now. Ranma would not want someone as clueless and untrainable as she seems to be at the moment. In all the plotting and eldritch horror I would like to see some more romance if you can do it. A demon/human matchup with a WIC member would be interesting. I wait in hope for Ranma to find love too but I will not be surprised if she does not in this arc of the story. Thanks so much for updating.

You fool! You've mentioned TVTropes! How many more must sacrifice the better part of their lifespan browsing that site?!

I like the armor form, but all the scheming within schemes is growing tiring and making my head hurt. When will all the sides in this story be revealed?

Cecilia is a great mom, I can totally see her getting a ton of Mother's day gifts.

I'm delighted to see Hotaru, she's my favorite Senshi. I hope to see the rest of the Outers in action soon! But elder Evils seem to be the regular big bad the Senshi end up facing, so it kind of makes sense that one of them wants to get rid of them before crossing into the local reality.

Fantastic stuff again as usual. :)

Glad to see that the other Tsukino family members are being brought into the picture. Kinda was beginning to wonder if they'd dropped off the face of the Earth or something. :)

Wonderful new chapter! Though I hope you have the storyline straight through the endgame plotted out es it seems to get only more complex as it moves along. Makes me wonder and look foreward to seeing how it all will play out.

Holy crap that was good! Man you just LOVE to make great chapters don't you? I also love how you've got your own unique style of writing with all this. Although I hope you make a new chapter soon! I'm just DYING to know what happens next! I've been reading fanfics for a decade or more, and this is still one of my all time favorites. Keep up the great work!

Excellent update, although you used a lot of space for very little progress. I hope for another action scene next chapter.

Very interesting. Wonder what'll happen with Shingo. You can almost pity Murdock for what is about to happen to him.

This is a fantastic story, I just spent the last week or so catching up on all of it. My only, trivial, gripe is that it isn't really a ranma fic, not any more I mean you have characters with the same name, but they aren't really the same characters IYSWIM. This doesn't hamper the enjoyment of a strong story well told, more that it's a mark of the strength and depth of your writing that you could alter the names and back story a little (a very little) and you'd have a near commercially publishable piece of original fiction. I give your writing a solid 9 out of 10.

Great story so far. The characterization is done extremely well and the pacing is superb. You have somehow managed to deliver something as ridiculous Russian combat cyborgs fighting demonic magical girls into something mundane and rather amusing.

My only complaint(this is probably fully intentional) is that Ranma seems to switch between cuddly pet engine of death and evil demonic mastermind far too quickly. It's almost as if she is both playing all sides against each other just for kicks.
