Once again I am amazed at the lack of reviews for such a great story...

You surprised me yet again! I didn't think you could go any further in complication the Ranma/Ranko/Fa Shen identity crisis, I was proven wrong...After Ranma split twice in the previous volumes I was expecting them to eventually combine them together again, but you just bombed me when you split Ranko yet AGAIN!

On top of the splitting surprise you once again whacked me in the face with another surprise. Making Ranma/Ranko/Fa Shen a phoenix? That I didn't see coming. You just seem to have a way with words...you make everything 'blend' nicely without going too out of character, how you managed the phoenix reincarnation was epic!

Took me 4 days to read this, but it was worth it. My only complain is that you seem to tell a hell of a lot more than you show. Explanations are great, dialog is a necessity, but you need to cut down on the conversations and revelations in order to explain a little more on what is going on. Try to make battles a little longer and more detailed, I believe the fight between Herb and Ranko should have been more epic, more detailed, and much more lengthier.

Well going to go get started on the next volume! Thank you so much for writing this incredible masterpiece! And once again it shames me to see how little recognition this story has recieved even though it is quite clear that a ton of research and hard work are put into this, I mean it is obvious how much thought and effort is put into managing the extreme character depth of the story. I hope the lack of reviews does not discourage you from your writing of this story because it would be a shame not to finish it...

Note: the email link upon your homepage is broken.

I'll wait and continue waiting patiently for Refractions.

I've read both stories, and I must admit I liked them a lot and would definitely read a sequel.

PS: Damn cliffhanger at the end of "It's All In The Reflexes." :D

Hi, just read both of your stories, they are good. Seems like you probably lost a bunch of readers that lost their way on all the switching back and forth...as well as Fa Shen who would likely qualify as an orig. char. which a lot of people dislike as well. Most of your readers are looking for a simpler storyline, perhaps...I liked it. it took a bit of time to read ( liked that as well) but it was well written and entertaining

Good story. I hope you continue it soon. One thing though, the Picolet Chardin engagement was to one of the Tendo girls, he was about to choose Akane, and Ranma stepped in as 'Ranko Tendo' to prevent it. Though I would not put it past Genma to make engagements for Ranma to men, that is not a good example of him doing so.

And thus it endeth... for real this time ;)
One week without the NWC, heh? A lot can happen! Hope I can hear from you again soon.

that was a very beautiful epilogue and it seems to be the right ending for that one and a startpoint for a new story at this point. i would really like to see a ranko/ranma (with them able to shift gender and to be princess/prince of the amazons)& herb pairing. i have seen i few fic with this pairing but it is rare mostly not good at all or maybe a threeway marriage between ranko-ranma, chinnamon and herb. would be really differnt to akane, royouga, ukyo or shampo and i would like that very much... but was that about ranko-ranma and phoenix and genma not her/his father. i really hope you write a new book to this series. i am thinking it is one of the best i have read.
thx again for shareing with us.

And thus it endeth...
Or maybe not, there may be an epilogue :)
Thank you for writing this story. I really enjoyed its depth and the many, many surprises it contained. Both Reflexes and Reflections rank very high on my list of prefered Ranma 1/2 fics, and Refractions is my #1 on the list of most waited fics.

This amazons elders council is so... i don't have the words for it that i could take in the mouth. they need a lesson! i hope they have to accept Ranko fully as the princess and prince or queen and king to save them or something like that. and let them beg a lot, please.
I hope too that Ranko choose to be both a he and a she. (it make half the charme of his/her charakter)i think she so as she is now can pull it up.
the dragon (i like her) and prince herb, if he changes a little more and can prove his love, would be the perfect mates for ranma/ranko.
what that only a quasi big sidestory or special to your orginal one... seems to me i am will very busy with reading a lot today or tonight.
please update soon... and i like the princess ranko/princes ranma of the amazons idea very much... hm, reminds a little of this xena - the warrior princess series. who is rankos/ranmas father? maybe i will read it in your other one. why not have ares, greek god of war, her/his biological father ... after all if i remember correct he sired a lot of amazons and mostly queens of amazons. that would sure rattle the high strung amazons elders.
thx for this great fiction.

Excellent ending to this chapter. I can't wait to see how everything turns out. Also, as one author to another, I'll give you the same advice that many having been trying to beat into me. You need to "show" more than "tell." Other than that, keep up the great work.

Hope life treats you better.
Nice build-up for the beat down.

Wow, great chapter. A good glimpse of what to expect from refractions, too.
And Herb had it coming.
Keep up the good work!

I swear, each time you think that race war to own your own ranma get complicated, with everybody, I want a sexchanging curse.
Now that (ranko/ranma) have merge back to one person I can't wait for what going to happen now when people figured it out. Cant wait for the next update, becuase its been a blast reading this.

Heh, that I hadn't seen coming. Will we see a major battle royale for Ranko now, or should we wait for a transformed Saffron to join the struggle?

Well, it seems that all of the mirror twins are now recombined into Ranko.
Does that mean, Ranma and Fa-Shen are once more returned to the depth of Ranko's mind where they had been before.
I can only imagin what the others are going to do when they realise there is only Ranko left...
