Lady Relena 2008-09-24 ch 3,	abuseI really love the story so far and I can't wait to see Ranma get some revenge on Pluto. However, I was greatly disappointed with what Ranma said about Jupiter. - Ranma shook his head. “True, but Akane could kick her butt , no problem. Besides, what’s a bit of lightening compared to a World Shaker?” “There’s her space sword too…” Akane commented, beaming with pride over the fact that Ranma had classified her skill level as better than that of a Sailor Senshi. With that in mind, Jupiter was obviously not a respectable teenage idol. - As much as I love your fic it really erked me to read Ranma and Akane suddenly bashing poor Jupiter. Motoko could kick Akane's can any day of the week. Motoko fights demons almost every day and has lighting as her power. Also, if I'm not mistaken, I thought that Jupiter did martial arts with or under Uranus every now and then. Anyway, all Akane has ever done is beat up boys, break bricks, and knock out straw dummies of Ranma, and she doesn't fight on a regular day to day basses like Motoko does. In fact, Akane is rarely seen doing any martial arts since the first season of the anime and the first volume of the manga. So how could Akane be a better fighter then Jupiter? That's just doesn't make any sense. Also, how is Jupiter NOT a "respectable teenage idol"? She's never done anything to make her LESS respectable in comparison to the other girls. Anyway, that really saddened me since Jupiter is one of my favorites next to Chibi Usa. I just don't understand why Jupiter is suddenly getting a bashing in your fic.
addicted2text 2008-09-16 ch 11, anon.	abuseJust wanted to drop you a note and say thanks for much enjoyment from this fic. Hopefully you'll get the computer together and once the wife is off to work again you'll be able to post some more good fics like this one! :)
Nosferatum 2008-09-09 ch 11,	abuseWon't say about originality but it's good overall irregardless.
Anon 2008-09-01 ch 10, anon.	abuseThis end is better than the other one. The other one felt too much like a cop out coupled with a deus-ex machina. This actually had some depth; not to mention it actually did a decent job of redeeming chibi-usa, a unique achievement in the history of fanfiction.
Garahs 2008-08-05 ch 1,	abuseRereading your stuff again... One thing jumped out at me this time... "Murcury Computer". 'nuff said.
moritynz 2008-06-26 ch 11,	abuseThis was awesome stuff. I preferred the ending behind door number 1 though. I do so like Ranma/Setsuna match ups with chibi usa I still have the image of a bubbly pre teen and it just seems wrong. Anywho wicked story
Golden Arms 2008-05-25 ch 11,	abuseI liked the story. The epilogue could have been a little better, but the second story is a lot more darker than the rest of the story allowed it to be. Overall, I loved the concept and much of the chapters.
Golden Arms 2008-05-25 ch 3,	abuseI died laughing at the results of the invasion of Furinken High School. Start up laughed for five minutes at the least. I didn't think I'd finish the story without taking the night off. Still makes me laugh.
Nearly Indi-cent 2008-05-19 ch 10,	abuseThis ending was by far superior. While the first was cute and cuddly, this one was more, believable and badass. Expect fanart. Although now I need to go read nice happy Setsuna fics to reclaim my image of her. maybe Heir to the Kingdom. XP hahahaha. Yeah I'm a fan, you write excessively well, what can I say?
Skunkboy 2008-05-06 ch 11,	abuseVery good story. And I agree that the prank war is a better idea than the others.
Dark Knight Gafgar 2008-04-06 ch 1,	abuseI just realized something: isn't it MErcury instead of Murcury?
kopakanuvafan20 2008-03-04 ch 9,	abuseGreat story. You did a great job with both epilogues but I liked the first one better.
Griever5 2007-12-05 ch 9, anon.	abuseThis is one of the best Ranma, Sailor Moon crossover ever written. did you ever think of writing a side story of their adventures in these other dimisions they said they been to.
numair42 2007-11-08 ch 9,	abuseI enjoyed reading this take on a Ranma fukufic. While it was a good story, the author used many bad story elements that while neccesary to the story development, they are still annoying to see. That's not to say that it detracts from the story, this isn't a story about martial arts techniques. It's a story about the conflict between setsuna and ranma. That conflict is what kept me reading. So when the epiloge came along, I found it hard to believe it was written by the same author. He did the time jump cop-out that was not cool the first time around. You turned bitter enemies into a happy couple which actually made me regret reading the epiloge. I can't really blame you though, all fic authors hookup setsuna and ranma. Don't know why, but everyone seems to love to hook them up. I find it much more enjoyable to hook them up with with Mina or Rei, but that's just me. I actually think that having ranma and setuna return with everyone else would make a better. Especially since we would see they resolution between ranma and setsuna. Not ther resolution after 3 kids. That's the main problem with time jumps, we miss all the good bits. Having ranma even deal with the amazons is a poor subsitute. You said you had writers block on this and it shows. You took the path well traveled and all it does is give your story a mediocre ending. I suggest to anyone else to avoid the endings, you'll like this story more for it. So what do I want the author to do? Nothing really. If they want to write another epiloge, more power to them. I would much rather that in their future stories they ask themselves this: "what is the point of this story?". If it's to show conflict between characters, make sure your plot reflects that. If it's to get two characters together, write a lemon and be done with it. We want good stories with endings that are in lime with the plot at the begining. All in all, you did good. I got to the end and was still happy (mostly) with the story. Which is a major achivement. There are too many stories I can't get past the first chapter, and I was hooked with the first line. Read you next time.
Lesychan 2007-10-12 ch 11,	abuseLove your Fic and your Endings...The PrankWar really was a good Idea and really IC...
